Wouldn’t go as far as saying ‘rated’, but I thought Tall Dwarfs were good. They’re the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Agreed, I very much enjoyed the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well.Wouldn’t go as far as saying ‘rated’, but I thought Tall Dwarfs were good. They’re the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

has New Zealand ever produced any bands that were rated at all? :)
Not really, a few well known singers but no really big bands
I certainly don't:-)Edit: I do own that OMC thing.

I'm not a Beach Boys fan but as it's the song cup and not the band cup, I vote for the best song and God Only Knows is a far better song.

Is this supposed to make posters vote for the New Zealand band New Zealand Blue? Good luck:-)Has to be the Enz.
Unfortunately the oh so bland boys have too many fanboyz on here so there will be an all too predictable result
Anyhoo God only knows why I would want to see Red.
Beach Boys for me it's a classic for a reason.

Not really. The outcome was predictable. What I hoped was to point out to people that the beach boys were just another harmony band- no better, no worse than many thousands of others. The problem is they read somewhere the album is a classic it must be true. Guess what, it's just another doo wap with overdubs!Is this supposed to make posters vote for the New Zealand band New Zealand Blue? Good luck:-)

No, The Beach boys were better than other harmony bands. They wrote and sang loads of very good songs, of their type.
Good Vibrations is an astonishing single for its time. “God Only Knows” is also a bona fide classic.
I happen to agree that Pet Sounds is overrated but they were the best surf band.

I agree that pet sounds is way overrated but as a group they still made quite a few decent songs, I would say a few were great. I'm not even sure what another harmony band even means. I mean it's music is harmony a bad thing:-)Not really. The outcome was predictable.

Sometimes a song is very popular because it's actually good. If they had only made one decent song which was this and every other was pure shite it wouldn't matter coz we are rating this song and this song only.
They have improved if they are dross now.I think The Beach Boys are one of the most overrated bands ever, but this is a decent-enough song and I’m also voting for it to try and stop the advancement of Split Enz, who are absolute dross.
