- ok...so you say that progressive music is about concepts...
-
- the 'Smile' album was a concept album...
-
- brian's initial idea for it was to have comedy running all the way through
- it..this later progressed to having a running theme between songs...like a sort
- of connecting piece througout the album...
-
- sgt pepper is usually given credit for being the first concept album, yet
- smile predated pepper by almost a year...
-
- it was paul mc cartney coming back from visiting brian working on smile who
- thought 'what the hell can we do to top that?' and thought up pepper...
-
- so brian wilson could be said to have invented the concept album.....
