Can't fathom all these votes for Moonshine!!?? It's my undisputed favourite song on the album. That melody, those synths, the heartbreaking lyrics and Dennis' equally heartbreaking delivery... It's one of those songs I can listen to repeatedly without ever tiring of it. Oh and the fade - heavenly! Hey ho...

This. Absolutely... (Tho' my fave is "Farewell My Friend")

I had the same reaction...whoa...Moonshine is majestic in every way. It was for sure Dennis' favorite track on POB, he said that many times. Also Carl and Audree's favorite. The fade is one of the coolest things ever. Weird.

That is so great to find out. I love Moonshine as well, particularly the lyric about the audience.

I always felt like the Vangelis' soundtrack for the original Cosmos lifted a lot from this album. Moonshine and Farewell My Friend in particular.

Farewell .   I understand the sentiment behind the song, but it does get repetitive fast.

My vote is for Time.


Moonshine is a SPECTACULAR track.

"Time."

As several other posters have mentioned, I really, really don't get the votes for "Moonshine."

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

Welcome back, one and all, to the first thread of the Beach Boys Solo Survivor.

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.


Oh! Who made me cry? (7)

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

Tally on August 2nd

River Song
Thoughts of You
Time
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
Round#4 - You and I July 25
Round#5 - Dreamer July 29
Round#6 - Moonshine July 31

Of all the Survivor rounds we have done, this one has been the most difficult for me. Losing Moonshine is pretty disappointing. That was a Top Three track, if ever there was one.  Cry

My sixth (and seventh) vote will go to Rainbows.
