Interesting and insightful article. Thanks for posting! I thought I knew all the Beach Boys songs, but I don't think I'd heard You Still Believe in Me before. Brian Wilson was an amazing song-writer. I also never noticed the baroque style in In My Life before, but you're right. That section in the middle is totally reminscient of a baroque piece. Those were excellent examples of pieces that defy categorization, as was the Nancarrow video.

[Opinion] Music Genres: Why they are deeply flawed
Brian Wilson was always a talented songwriter but he became much more talented around the time he released Pet Sounds which featured many great songs including the mentioned You Still Believe in Me. The Beatles of course have always released good songs which did cross genres, such as on the "White Album" where there were pieces of many genres, even avant-garde.
