Which Beach Boy Era Are You Currently Into The Most Now-a-Days? :)

[Newguy562]

Right now i'm listening to Wild Honey and Smiley Smile more than everything else in their catalog.
At first i was pure pet sounds but lately i've found myself addicted to their low quality sounding albums so this means friends might be next. lol
What era are you guys on right now? Surfing? Cars? Today? Pet Sounds? Etc.

I love all of the era's, but I mostly prefer the early Brother/Reprise era; Sunflower through In Concert.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

For some insane reason I can't stop playing the KTSA/BB'S 85 two-fer!!!

HELP!!!!!

Friends, 20/20 and Sunflower is my favorite era.

For the past couple days I've been really digging Carl & The Passions 'So Tough', Holland and In Concert era.

What I've been listening to hasn't been a specific era, rather: I got Friends on vinyl a few weeks ago and have listened to that a few times, also, I listened to Surfer Girl a week ago. Love the mellow feel of those records.

My favorite era is the Surfer Girl through Summer Days era. Just such a positive vibe flowing through those records.

[MyGlove]

from Surfer Girl to Love You. IDK WHY. i just can't get enough of any of it. i'll go from in my room to sail on sailor and don't worry baby to solar system in the same day. there's so much there its crazy.

[Justin]

Pet Sounds through Holland for me.

[Zach95]

I'll skip around, but lately the two eras I've been listening to most is Today! through Summer Days and Pet Sounds, and Friends through Surfs Up.

Right now i'm listening to Wild Honey...

I thought it was surprising and interesting that, in that newly-uncovered audio interview from January of 1968, that BW flatly said of WH, "We just made an R&B album."

[Paulos]

For some insane reason I can't stop playing the KTSA/BB'S 85 two-fer!!!

HELP!!!!!

Take it out of your CD player and BURN IT! Seriously, the KTSA/BB 85 twofer has to be the two-fer I've listened to the least, neither album does anything for me.

[SG7]

Somewhere from Today to Pet Sounds. Especially Today for some reason! I keep going back to hearing those sessions over and over.

hey 85 has "i do love you" which is an amazing song

[Chris Brown]

Just got back into the Smile Sessions after putting it away for about 6 weeks.  Before that, it had been Pet Sounds.

[Mike's Beard]

20/20 to Holland. I never stop playing them. However the other night I listened to MIU/LA twofer all the way through for the first time in ages and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

[SBonilla]

I'm into the current era of celebration and reunion.

[Quincy]

Today... all the way

[markcharles75]

Well Male Ego sounds amazing cranked in the car....everyone should try it!  That thumping right hand piano/bass "bum bummm..." So I have been on an 80's Beach Boys binge lately...Rock N' Roll To The Rescue! Where I Belong! I'm So Lonely! The Spirit of Rock N Roll!  Come on groove with me people! LOL

[The Heartical Don]

The Pet Sounds and SMiLE boxes. (Hey... still amazed that I can type the latter - there is a benevolent God.)

[donald]

Live material from approx 1973 through the 93 Anniv soundboard and beyond.  Nearly everyone ever in the band is heard here,  and the material covered is career spanning.   This stuff is largely energetic and authentic, just the band and the touring musicians. 

[Magic Transistor Radio]

Lately, I've been listening to the era between Surfin Safari and BW Disney album.

[rogerlancelot]

I think everything from First Love (1978) to Country Love (1978) is especially jaw-dropping and can easily be compared to a mountain of fresh steaming hot excrement (fecal matter). Lately I've been doing A/B comparisons of "Problem Child" alternate mixes (instrumental version, single version and radio edit). Some days I compare the 3 versions of "Rock'n'Roll To The Rescue" (beach party mix, percadella mix and instrumental mix) but then other days I choose to go for more adventurous stuff like Salute NASCAR or Disco Celebration or Mike & Dean.

When is the "salute NASCAR" sessions box set coming out?
