I guess the core point is that the us west-coast-from my total outsider perspective-has nothing to be ashamed of...
That said, I'm more of a NYC guy, both musically *and* from visiting both places a while; not having a drivers license in LA doesn't really work me thinks whereas it makes sense in NYC and the whole vibe of NYC was always more "relateable" to me so to speak, Boston was where I felt most at hme though but that city barely felt like USA to me, LOL!!!...
EDIT:Beach Boys have made more great albums than most acknowledge beyond Pet Sounds/Smile:All Summer long, Today (second side=just as good as Pet Sounds), Smiley Smile (the Quintessential whimsy lo-fi record), Sunflower (=the opposite) , Friends and so on...
