Taylor’s CD Pick - The Beach Boys Pet Sounds
First released on May 16, 1966, and later re-mastered for re-release in 1996/1997, this CD is now part of a boxed set The Pet Sound Sessions. A re-mixed, re-mastered CD (finally giving stereo quality) was released in 2007 to celebrate 40 years of music by The Beach Boys.
Brian Wilson cited the Beatles Rubber Soul as the inspiration for this album, and the Beatles later answered with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The album is thought to be the turning point in defining the band’s creative differences.
Amazon’s in house review adds: “If you need some pointy-headed pundit to sell you on the merits of Pet Sounds, your money might be better spent on an ear specialist. Brian Wilson’s gift to 20th-century music elevated this pop album into a beguiling musical and emotional cogency that still operates outside pop culture’s fickle space-time continuum–and limited critical lexicon.”

Margaux, GV was indeed recorded around the same time, but slated for the (never to arrive) Smile album. (Actually, Brian released Smile a few years ago, although it is probably nothing like what it would have been had it been completed in 1967.)
God Only Knows was actually named Greatest Love Song of All Time several years ago in a poll somewhere. I'm pretty fond of it.
One of my theories about Taylor listening to this album: Brian Wilson's one and only appearance at American Idol was the night Taylor won. Connection? Perhaps! I can't wait to find out. Neither Brian nor Taylor has seen fit to tell me yet, tho!

Oh yes, we need him to call, and then we need someone brave enough to ask the questions! 
Not me!
I'm feeling compelled to go visit Brian's message board now...
