It's a good album - I certainly toyed with it going into the C List, POB would make way and it was a close call.
Thats what I quite liked about this game, limiting to 5 albums per category makes you make some tough decisions.
Have a go....

Should I refer to it as 'The Paley Sessions'? - I think we all know what I mean. Adult/Child wasn't technically released either.....

Friends, Love You, Pet Sounds, Endless Summer, and Holland (or Wild Honey? Today?) would make up my A-list, the rest is great too with only a couple of real stinkers like KTSA or SIP.

You should refer to it as "not an album".

Hard to choose and not 100% reflective of my favorites or the albums I think are best but more objective rankings for what would be deemed essential for new listeners I guess with a bias towards my personal tastes. Obviously some had to be left out (First three albums are easily "essential")

Hey man, welcome to the board :-)
Good choices there, 20/20 over Wild Honey is a surprise to me, but each to their own....

Little Deuce Coupe and KTSA rank about between B and C for me. Hard to tell where the unfinished album projects would have gone (SMiLE and Paley Sessions). Had the collection of songs usually referred to as "Landlocked" been released as an album, that would get a A from me.

Can't! There's too much good stuff to put at the top end so I'd end up skipping albums that are genuinely good and shouldn't be moved down a category.
The bottom end is easier.

With the original assignment I'm not clear if leaving them off the list means they are worse than or better than "Z", so I added an "E" because if you include imaginary SMiLE, you get exactly 30 official BB studio albums. I ignored non official Beach Boy releases (solos and other stuff).
