Brian on why he loves God Only Knows: "Because Paul McCartney said it was his favourite song"

"Time". I love the coda but the rest of the song is standard piano balladry. Nothing at all as good as the song "Time" by Pink Floyd.

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

Funny how tastes differ. I think the exact opposite is true! To me, the clunking coda spoils what is otherwise a stunning Dennis ballad.

Welcome back, one and all, to the first thread of the Beach Boys Solo Survivor. Voting was pretty widespread with nearly a FIVE-WAY TIE! (I don't recall that ever happening before)

The Solo Survivors are going to tackle the main solo albums of members of the Beach Boys. This will not include solo albums released prior to membership in the Beach Boys. This will also not include works done by members who were participating in different groups (ie David Marks in The Moon or The Marksmen) nor will it include "Best Of" albums or rehash albums (ie Summertime Cruisin' by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston will not be included. This also means we will not be including Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE or I Just Wasn't Made For These Times.) Lastly, we will not be including EP's or Unreleased Albums.

Some of the Solo Survivor albums may be hard to come across. Smilers are encouraged to locate legal copies of the solo albums. I expect these rounds to go quicker with less voting than normal. No big deal.

So without further ado...

Quote
Pacific Ocean Blue is Dennis Wilson's only studio album, released in 1977. It was the debut and final studio album released by this member of the Beach Boys, and when released, was both warmly received critically, and noted for outselling the Beach Boys' contemporary efforts.


It's no won-der... the Pacific Ocean is Blue was voted off. (5)

Per the usual, vote for your LEAST FAVORITE TRACK. The track with most votes will be voted off.

Tally on July 25th

River Song
Moonshine
Dreamer
Thoughts of You
Time
You and I
Farewell My Friend
Rainbows
End of the Show

Round#1 - What's Wrong July 18
Round#2 - Friday Night July 21
Round#3 - Pacific Ocean Blues July 23

This is where the line is for me. It gets hard from here on out.

My third (and Fourth) vote will go to Dreamer.

"You and I"

Honestly, it's probably my least favorite song on the album. Don't know why I had to go with "What's Wrong" first, but I believe it's because the first time I listened to POB, I was so elated by River Song that What's Wrong was almost a bit of a letdown. But that's Denny-- Epic rock tracks, romantic tracks (epic or otherwise), and honky-tonk rock.

I was going to vote "Time" again but I had a change of heart and decided to vote off "You And I" instead. I don't think it's a terrible song (there isn't a terrible song on this album) but it is one I'm likely to skip if I'm not in the mood for wimp rock. But maybe it's also the inspiration for Paul McCartney's "No More Lonely Nights"? If so, I'll take the one with Dave Gilmour on guitar. Weak choice for a single in my opinion (should have been "River Song" if there had to be a single at all). Actually, ever since the Legacy edition was released, I find myself listening to Bambu or the bonus tracks more than POB.
