20/20 is the fifteenth studio album by American rock group the Beach Boys, released on February 10, 1969 and their last studio album released with Capitol Records that contained new material for the next seventeen years. Produced by the Beach Boys, the album includes songs that span across variety of different genres including hard rock, country and psychedelic pop. The lead single "Do It Again" was the band's first attempt at revisiting the surf sound they abandoned eight albums prior and it charted at number one on the UK and Australian charts.

20/20 got its name from being the Beach Boys' twentieth album release when compilations were included in the tally. A collage inside the gatefold depicts Brian Wilson behind an eye examination chart as a play on the title. It reached number three in the UK and number 68 in the US.

VOTE OFF YOUR LEAST FAVORITE TRACK!!!

I'll tally on January 3

Do It Again
I Can Hear Music
Bluebirds Over the Mountain
Be with Me
All I Want to Do
The Nearest Faraway Place   
Cotton Fields (The Cotton Song)

My least favorite is... Bluebirds Over the Mountain

All I Want To Do. The Beach Boys trying to sound "raw" never worked for me at all. And it's a really mediocre composition.

The Nearest Faraway Place.  Hadn't listened to 20/20 in a long time, and this really sticks out to me, and not in a good way.  It's well into Ferrante and Teicher territory, and a curious inclusion for a band presumably seeking relevance at the end of the 60s.  However, I guess it does qualify for the Easy Listening entry on a scattershot album.

Do It Again. There, I said it!
A very overrated single which I have literally never liked.
Give me Bluebirds, Nearest Faraway Place, Cottonfields, and especially the underrated classic All I Want To Do over Do It Again!

'Never Learn Not To Love'.  Pretty good song though.

Cotton Fields (album version)          love the single version.  Pixletwin, are you still doing something with non-album tracks?

So you'd choose to vote off the album centrepiece over tracks such as Do It Again, Bluebirds, and I Went To Sleep?
If you ask me that's crazy lol
