I just think that At My Window isn't a very good song, and Tears isn't a very bad song
Fair enough. Kind of.

Lime is food? Yep.

Mandarin and Clementine went to meet the entire citrus gang, nobody ate people.

Just give "Student Demonstration Time" the worst ever prize and we're done here.  Grin

Surfin' Safari -- Cuckoo Clock
Surfin' USA -- The Noble Surfer (I don't really dislike it; the album is full of killer stuff; I just usually skip this track)
Surfer Girl -- The Rocking Surfer
Little Deuce Coupe -- No-Go Showboat (again, I don't really dislike it, just like it the least of all the tracks)
Shut Down Vol. 2 -- Fun, Fun, Fun (simply because I'm so sick of it!)
All Summer Long -- I Get Around
Christmas Album -- The Man With All The Toys
Beach Boys Concert -- I Get Around [probably the worst concert recording fake EVER!]
Today! -- I love all the tracks (including "Bull Session") but the one I love the least is "Dance, Dance, Dance"
Summer Days.... -- I'd have to say "Help Me, Rhonda," but the stereo version is awesome!
Recorded "live" at a...Beach Boys' Party! -- Barbara Ann (because I'm so sick of it, but I do like the full length beginning and ending)
Pet Sounds -- Sloop John B.
Smiley Smile -- Wind Chimes
Wild Honey -- How She Boogalooed It
Friends -- again, love all the tracks, but "Friends" is a little too dippy for me
20/20 -- Cotton Fields (so drab compared to the single version!)
Live in London -- California Girls (too fast! Sounds too much like "Little Deuce Coupe"!)
Sunflower -- Tears In The Morning
Surf's Up -- Don't Go Near The Water
So Tough -- Make It Good
Holland -- Mt. Vernon and Fairway
In Concert -- Don't Worry, Baby (really, could they not tell that Al couldn't sing the damn song!?)
15 Big Ones -- Chapel of Love
Love You -- Let's Put Our Hearts Together
MIU Album -- Hey Little Tomboy (love the melody, but very disturbing lyrics!)
L.A. -- Here Comes The Disco
Keepin' The Summer Alive -- When Girls Get Together
The Beach Boys -- California Calling (yuck!!!!)
Still Cruisin' -- Make It Big (obviously the "Make It..." songs don't work for me!)
Bummer In Paradise -- the entire album is a travesty, but I'm going to say "Forever" because of how it basically is a big knife in the back to Dennis
Stars and Stripes -- Long Tall Texan (what's the point of remaking a cover??)
That's Why God Made The Radio -- The Private Life of Stu and Sue

there are some absolute gems on some of these lists, in fact, there is no consensus on any track, but that's what makes it interesting.
i like some of the bb's covers of oldies, bluebirds over the mountain led me directly to ersel hickey.

i too got tired of fun, fun, fun, their concert closer, but only after thirty bb-related concerts! do they EVER close with any other song?

about wipe-out, even hip hop fans hate the fat boys, but i do like the line, "it was the beach boys rocking - the wipe out!!", so much so that i think it would make a good answering machine line!  Cool
