Best (almost) No-show.........John Stamos Secret weapon I would go with David Marks myself. Never seen him live before. A natural onstage and just seemed to add some Rock and Roll cred with the shades.  |

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Good idea, Doc!
Best Vocal Performance: Brian on "Summer's Gone"
Biggest Surprise: How Mike's voice came around and held up
Best TV Moment: Brian on Jools Holland, especially piano playing on "Barbara Ann"
Best Non-Hit Song Performance: "All This Is That"
Best Team Spirit Award: Brian and Mike's band members gelling and enjoying working with each other
Overall Award Of Merit: The Beach Boys 5 members, who made and kept their commitment; didn't blow off the soundchecks, smiled during the photos with guests, dressed well, played long setlists, didn't "dial in" their vocals, and had almost perfect attendance for everything.

The Brianista Prayer
Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen. ---hypehat

Best TV appearance and interviewer: Jimmy Fallon
Who Farted Award: Mike or his spokesman this week with the ill timed 'set start and finish' announcement.
Who Farted merit : Bruce and his 'Obama' and who's our guy?' political comments.
Worst audience: Hong Kong. Ten minutes before showtime and only 100 at their seats according to the media. Ten past and the call was made. 'Fu*k em...we're starting!'

Loveliest moment - the crowd going wild when Brian takes the bridge on Surfer Girl. At Every. Single. Concert. |

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.
What is this "life" thing you speak of ?
Syncopate it? In front of all these people?!

It must take a lot of effort to maintain a hippie look in 2012. I wouldn't know where to begin! I caught Roky Erickson earlier this year. The guy next to me was literally decked out as Dennis Hopper in Easy Rider. Yeesh. BEST MIKE LOVE OUTFIT: Sunday canary yellow-based ensemble.  Which coincidentally includes: BEST AL JARDINE OUTFIT: The Return of The White Suit (TM) |

Great thread, was thinking of starting something similar myself.

Well that's so wonderful; I am honored. The proximity of that award to the Mafia question is likely a reflection of my heritage I had thought was a secret. You can take the boy out of Jersey, I suppose. As far as the other, often brilliant awards go, best in concert musician: Dave (also comeback artist of the year, as Jon asserts) best vocal by non-BB darian on darlin, by far best song preformed on TV: In my Room on Falon coolest unexpected choice for performance: tie btw. Add some music and Pet Sounds. best Mike love patter: the last gig most touching moment: Brian offering his hand to Mike for help off stage at Fallon show best moment of redemptive optimism after devastation of Mike's confusing announcement about the future: reading this thread and sharing the joy with all of you right now (yuck!) |

Best Dennis impersonation: John C with his long hair. Unable to see his face once he started on the skins and if you squinted in a certain light it was the 70s again.
A merit to Scott B on the last night up on Brians piano but too little, too late I'm afraid!
