GEEKING OUT WITH THE APPLES IN STEREO’S ROBERT SCHNEIDER

(cd: The Apples In Stereo - Travellers in Space and Time)

QUOTE:

Wired.com: That’s OK, we also got hazed for snubbing big shots like The Beach Boys. Is Pet Sounds the greatest concept album ever made?

Schneider: I would say the finished version of Smile, not Pet Sounds, would take first place if I was allowed to revise the list. That’s based on the godlike beauty of the interwoven musical parts, which is unlike anything else in pop music, and far beyond Pet Sounds from a conceptual standpoint.
