River Song - when I first heard it, it gave me a strange ache in my heart.

Sir, you are mocking me. I demand satisfaction!

Then, you shall have it, Sir!

I challenge you to Unleash The Love, as day breaks over the ocean!

And, as a professed Whovian, how can you not vote for River Song?

Haha River song never was The Right Kind Of Love for the Doctor. I carved many Wrinkles into my forehead with worry about which track to vote for.

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...

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.

Farewell to Farewell My Friend. I'll take the high road.   (2)

All things that live one day must die you know. ( 8 )

Here we are, at the end of the show!!

I suppose on my Solo Survivor track compilation, River Song does make a better album opener than Farewell or Thoughts. So I can live with this result.

1. River Song
2. I Write The Songs
3. Heaven
