Brian's greatest lead vocal

[bluesno1fann]

For me at least, it's gotta be Surf's Up; though he's done too many great vocals to list

[You Kane, You Commanded, You Conquered]

With his pre '75 voice, Why Do Fools Fall In Love.

With his post '75 voice, the 76 vocals on Sherry She Needs Me.

today, my favourite is 'winter symphony'

[SonoraDick]

  If you ask me, tho, runner-up would definitely be "Sloop John B".  Forget about corny folk like "Kingston Trio", the Boys owned it. BIG TIME.

Agreed, Brian bettered the KT's version by plenty.

While the "folk" part is correct, I don't agree with "corny" to describe them, however. Part of their stage act did involve clowning around, but when it came time to perform, the Trio could play and sing with the best of them, and at their peak they were immensely popular. They left a body of work that compares favorably with most US groups, and have been listed as influences by many musicians, including one fellow named Jardine.

Too tough to think of just one.

Warmth of the Sun
Don't Worry Baby
I Just Wasn't Made for These Times
Surf's Up
Midnight's Another Day (my favorite modern Brian lead)

I'm biggest fan of Al's but I don't share his taste regarding Kingston Trio. "Corny" was a bad choice of word tho, you're right.

[The LEGENDARY OSD]

To date, I haven't heard it but my number one Brian favorite is "You're No Cousin of Mine You F------ P----. You're Chickenshit" .
