We talked about Friends being almost perfect, try listening to this playlist:  I call the "album" "Best Friends" and I think this would have made their last capitol album AS GOOD AS Pet Sounds. Opinions? |

I think Friends, the way it is, is as good as Pet Sounds.
That being said: nice playlist. I would've kept out The Nearest Faraway Place and kept TM as the last song.

As you've taken out the best song on the album, Be Here In The Mornin', and added in the worst song from 20/20, the Nearest Faraway Place, i'd have to disagree that this version of Friends is anything like the Best. Sorry.

Friends
I Went To Sleep
Little Bird
When A Man Needs A Woman
Diamond Head
SIDE TWO:
Wake The World
Busy Doin Nothing
Break Away (demo if available?)
We're Together Again

Why do people not like Be Here in the Morning? That's a great song! One of my favorite Beach Boys songs.

Ditto. It's definately my favourite on the album, and certainly in my top 20-30 BB songs. Only weird people don't like Be Here In The Mornin' - scientific fact. |

How dare you! Think before you post! That might be offensive to people who know people who have had acid thrown in their eyes. |

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings. Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45. Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story |

Be here in the morning is a great song but if you're comparing Friends to Pet sounds you need to come back to reality.

I think there are several BB records just as good as Pet Sounds and Friends is certainly one of them.

Is Pet Sounds the best BB record? Yes. Is it my personal favourite? No. Sure a lot of people here feel the same...

In my ideal album playlists, I merged Wild Honey with Smiley Smile and I scattered the tracks of 20/20 over Friends and a late '69 album I call 'Good Humor' which is why ILJOTSY, TTGA and IWTS have made the cut in my version of Friends  it was actually pretty difficult to get all of the four waltzes in there without it sounding too samey, but I think I managed with this sequencing. Friends (Alternate) Meant for You Friends Anna Lee the Healer I'd Love Just Once to See You Diamond Head I Went to Sleep Busy Doin' Nothin' Wake the World When a Man Needs a Woman Be Here in the Mornin' Passing By Time to Get Alone Little Bird Can't Wait too Long |

This is off topic (kinda), but I was in a somewhat local indie store today, and the owner put on Meant For You and Little Bird off the Friends album. As they were playing, a group of three people started chatting at the counter about how much of an asshole Mike Love is.  |
