In my humble opinion, the three best ballads the Beach Boys ever did were; In My Room,Don't Worry Baby, and God Only Knows. Any Thoughts?

I'll just say these three are my three favorites (with a few alternates included), rather than worry about what best means.
Surfer Girl
Wonderful (60s Smile version)
Let the Wind Blow
With strong competition from Our Sweet Love, All I Wanna Do, Warmth of the Sun and Kiss Me, Baby (as well as those mentioned in the first post and many others)

Don't worry baby
Warmth of the sun
God only knows
also:
Keep an eye on summer
Your summer dream
Surfer's moon
She knows me too well
Oh Darlin (great song, miserable production)
and, though I hate to say it, many others, that won't come to my mind at the time

Did it ever occur to you, Cable, how wise and bountiful God was to put breasts on a woman? Just the right number in just the right place. Did you ever notice that, Cable?

Warmth of the Sun
Girls on the Beach
Surfer Girl
alternate: The Lonely Sea
In this selection I defined a ballad is a song for slow dancing...therefore I chose all early lush harmony numbers. There are really too many to pick any three.

I hope someone says Cabinessence. Though the whole song isn't a typical ballad, I buy into the whole "Sitting in a log cabin with the one you love and talking".
This is also the track I think would've crushed all opposition had the album been released. It's so bizarre and unusual.

Then you run the "Iron Horse" on her? I introduce her to my new Chinese friend and suggest a little bit of three-way fun. |

Kiss Me Baby
Please Let Me Wonder
Warmth Of The Sun
Thought about Let Him Run Wild but not sure if it qualifies as a ballad - a lot of BB stuff is sort of slow-mid tempo stuff rather than rockers. Those three wil do nicely though...
