Join the Club bossaroo.  Doing Survivor # 24 has been No Fun.

I was stunned by the hate thrown at "Talk To Me" - Stunned by the hate of one of my cherished albums by The Beach Boys.  Now that we know for sure that at least Mike is looking in on what we are saying...  What would Brian think?  Brian and Carl and Dennis all sing beautifully on these tracks.  I was watching the '76 TV Special the other day, and Loved it!

Now, my favorite song on 15 Big Ones gets the bonk.  I will not vote this round.  What difference would it make.  I don't even need to count the votes.

I need to go meditate.  Callin' Meditation Mama for advice.  Cass, you home?

[Adult Child]

It's OK and Palisades Park

[smilethebeachboysloveyou]

Palisades Park
It's OK

[The Shift]

Palisades Park
It's OK


Perhaps these two tracks more than any other represent their own belief in the hope that they could get back into some fantasy early 60s mode that eventually lumbered them with the touring jukebox burden.  Just my take…

Welcome back to 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...

15 Big Ones is the twentieth studio album by American rock group The Beach Boys, released in July 1976. It was their first studio album in three years and the first Brian Wilson-produced album released by the band since Pet Sounds, ten years earlier. This is also the first album to feature the classic lineup of the Beach Boys (Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson and Al Jardine) since the mid-1960s with Bruce Johnston's temporary departure from the group.
Although Dennis Wilson suggested calling the album Group Therapy,[citation needed] and rejecting Pick Ya Up at 8[citation needed](after the outtake "I Wanna Pick You Up"), 15 Big Ones was named for their fifteen years in the business and for the fact that it had the same number of tracks.

Suzie Cincinatti thought she was a winner. (13 votes)

Palisades Park has closed. (25 votes)

Anyone else feel like this is going too slow?

This time vote for your TWO least favorite tracks. The two tracks with the most votes gets voted off.

Tally on March 23rd
