Got to Know the Woman

[Quzi]

"Got to Know the Woman"


"Deirdre" is wonderful!

[TimeToGetAlone]

I was considering going with At My Window, but it looks like Got to Know the Woman is the only realistic one this round that isn't named Deirdre.  My vote is for Got to Know the Woman, though I do like it.

[bluesno1fann]

Changing my vote to Deirdre even though it's my favourite Bruce song off this album.

Got to know the woman

Got To Know The Woman

come and do the chickun? really Dennis?

The lyrical content of Dennis's music is really what does him in IMO. Brian's songs are so sensitive and sweet, while Dennis's expresses the ugly, dominating side of masculine sexuality. The protagonists of Brian's songs are the quiet guys afraid to ask girls out, while the protagonists of Dennis's songs wouldn't hesitate to force women into performing.

His music sounds just like the way he looked back in the 70s; hairy and really pretty greasy. Brian's style is just more appealing in the 21st century. Dennis was a man of his times -- macho to a fault. Brian "wasn't made for his times."

Brian was a womanizer too though he just happened to be not so open about it

At least his songs weren't about womanizing. I find Dennis's lyrics (assuming he wrote some of them) putrid.

At the same time, Brian wrote Love Is A Woman and Here Comes The Night, but at least those are quirky.

Brian also wrote Roller Skating Child ("she's a roller-skating child with a ribbon in her hair/she sets my heart beating when I see her there") and Hey Little Tomboy - what a creepy pervert!

Seriously though, like most red-blooded males Dennis loved women and got horny. I'm a Guardian-reading left-wing vegetarian, but I don't have the slightest problem with Dennis singing about girls and sex. Who are you - Mother Theresa?

Anyway, my vote goes to Add Some Music To Your Day. A fine production, with several great moments, but the whole is less than the sum of its parts. It's been described as sounding like an 'ice-cream commercial' - bit unkind, but also fairly near the mark. Without doubt, my second least favourite track on Sunflower.

I completely agree with you, most rock stars then during that time did right about the kind of stuff Denny wrote but since Denny's a BB he doesn't get a pass right? 

I now vote for Deidre

[smilethebeachboysloveyou]

I've held off on voting this round because I like all the remaining tracks too much.  It looks like I'll have to vote for Deirdre, even though I like the song, as a last-ditch effort to try to save Got To Know the Woman.

[remy13127]

I have to give my vote for this album. I'll do my best to protect At My Window, Brian's French is so memorable ! The weakest remaining track is for me

Its About Time

[pixletwin]

Sorry for the delay in the tally. Bizzy weekend. 

Sunflower is the sixteenth studio album by American rock group The Beach Boys, their first on Reprise Records. The album reached a respectable number 29 in the UK though only achieved number 151 on the US albums chart during a four week stay, becoming the lowest charting Beach Boys album until 1978's M.I.U. Album equalled it.
The album's critical reputation has grown since its original appearance; it is notable for the emergence of significant songwriting contributions by all members of the band.

Welcome back to the a new round of BEACH BOYS SURVIVOR. Remember to be respectful of others opinions. Please don't spam the thread with too much opinionating (a little is ok  ).... and without further ado...

Dennis Got To Know The Woman... Wasn't no thaaang after all.
