Talk:20/20 (The Beach Boys album)

Manson?
What about the Manson credit on the "Never Learn Not to Love" track? I mean, Chuck M should have almost all the composer/lyricist credits, having released his solo version on his solo album "LIE". Jus' wunderin'. 82.181.201.82 (talk) 21:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree, and since no objections in 2 and a half years am entering the credit now.Ramseyman (talk) 19:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Genre Warring
So the person that cited Ranker.com as a reliable source needs this information to be discussed at length otherwise I'll be banned for their genre warring.

• The Rock and Pop genres are cited by numerous sources across the web about this album, (Ex. Rolling Stone, MusicHound, and the dreaded AllMusic, which is cited by the Library of Congress as a reliable source but because of 2 instances that don't apply here we must discredit it's reliability), so there really should be no issue there and the album is cited by Amazon to be a high seller on the Psychedelic charts and as this is non user based information it should be reliable enough to trust but can be removed if that is not enough.

• Having a genre listed does not in any way shape or form detract the article's reliability or credibility and can encourage further reading on the subjects for the reader or researcher so this shouldn't be an issue.

I see no reason to disagree with this addition other than disagreement for disagreements sake but if you see a problem please discuss. InternetEnigma (talk) 06:35, 10 April 2023 (UTC)


 * You added pop, rock and psychedelic genres.
 * This Rolling Stone source doesn't describe the album like that. It says the Beach Boys are a rock band, but not the album. It says there is a psychedelic guitar part in one song, but that's not the album genre. It describes the genres of various songs, but those are individual song genres, not the overall genre of the album.
 * This 2019 Rolling Stone review says nothing about psychedelic or rock. It says the band is "a group whose catalog is built on flawless pop gems" but this doesn't affirm 20/20 as pop.
 * This AllMusic review has a prose description by Stephen Thomas Erlewine which does not identify an overall album genre. We don't use the unreliable sidebar genres per WP:ALBUMAVOID.
 * Album genres must be explicitly describing the album, not the artist or the songs. Binksternet (talk) 14:23, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
