    Surely Pet Sounds is just out of politeness ?

    All 4 Beatles loved that album when it came out.

    I certainly get Harvest (wouldn't have guessed he'd be into that
    particularly though) and even Pet Sounds but The Band was never one of
    my favorite bands.

    I remember buying a The Band greatest hits (as such) CD one time and
    getting rid of it after a few listens.

    Personally, I love The Band, at least their first few albums. I can see
    how they attracteded Paul in those days, by showing that you could
    scale back on much of the production fru-fru and just play a good,
    rootsy song with passion and groove, with more of a live feel. Kind of
    a template for the Let It Be and Abbey Road sessions.

    No! Paul was crazy about Pet Sounds, and has praised the songs and the
    bass playing (which he incorrectly ascribed to Brian Wilson -- not
    Paul's fault, as the Wrecking Crew guys weren't credited originally)
    constantly over the decades.

    The Band and Neil Young surprise me a bit.
