Played Merriweather Post-Pavillion and Pet Sounds back to back and blew her mind.

Idk, but their music is fantastic.
are they that underrated though? pet sounds seems to show up on basically all "best album" lists (could be making this up but it seems this way)

Maybe most people appreciate Brian Wilson for the genius he is, not sure. I think a lot of peoples' perception of the Beach Boys is unjustly influenced by Kokomo, too.
