Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time?

For a while I kept trying to get into Pet Sounds but just can’t. I agree with others that the lyrics are insipid and I personally just can’t stand Brian Wilson’s whiny voice.
I grew up with the Beach Boys. I’m 60 and have two older sisters who listened to them almost constantly during the summer months. Admittedly, when I was a youngster I liked a lot of that surf music in the summer time. It went well with the beach, sun and ocean. Now, not so much. I’ve moved on to more interesting music in different genres.

@nicktheknife, the whiny voice in The Beach Boys is that of Mike Love, whom I abhor. Brian sang the high, falsetto parts. Carl Wilson had a nice voice, and it is he singing the melody on "God Only Knows".

Fascinating bio pic on Wilson a few years back. Paul Giamatti plays his dark mgr overlord ahole guy. They recreate the pet sounds sessions in the film respectfully. 

For me, the 'masterpiece' that I loathe is trout mask replica. Makes me want to self-harm.

Oh boy, Gary Lewis & the Playboys!
Those lists made me groan although there
were a few excellent songs on them.
One of the problems with "oldies" is that
there were a tremendous number I didn't like.

Old thread. Still think the record is way overrated. 

But Hendrix overrated? 

There are two very underrated beach Boys albums.
