We all like a bit of Dennis every now and then. I was wondering which tracks would be in peoples top tens (songs he wrote or co-wrote), it can and probably will have to include 'tracks not officially available' but they're ones that everyone has known for years!
Here's my 10 in no particular order:
Never learn not to love
Be with me
Slip on Through
Lady
Sound of free
It's a new day
Cuddle up
Carry me home
River song
Rainbows

Different people like different bits of Dennis, from my observation... (sorry) No order: River Song Pacific Ocean Blues Rainbows Steamboat Little Bird What's Wrong Only With You NLNTL Slip On Through Fallin In Love/Lady I'm not the biggest Dennis fan, really, but it was nice to have a non-retro writer in the mix for a while there. |

I know it breaks the rules but while I didn't pick everthing Dennis wrote or sang, I picked a huge number of tracks all of which I love. He added SO much to the group and he also had his own distinct style which I think is brilliant. He didn't have to write the song for me to include it.

To view my video documentation of my Beach Boys collection go to www.youtube.com/justinplank "Someone needs to tell Adrian Baker that imitation isn't innovation." -The Real Beach Boy ~post of the century~ "Well, you reached out to me too, David, and I'd be more than happy to fill Bgas's shoes. You don't need him anyway - some of us have the same items in our collections as he does and we're also much better writers. Spoiled brat....." -Mikie "in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead |

Great thread! In chronological order I would say:
Little Bird
Be with Me
Slip on Through
Cuddle Up
Only with You
River Song
Moonshine
Thoughts of You
Time
You and I
Farewell My Friend
Rainbows
Love Surrounds Me
Baby Blue
His vocals on "I Wanna Pick You Up" and "My Diane" give me chills, too.

Tug Of Love(Feel The Pull)
Hi Jon, whats this song? It sounds rude!! Very lush POB outtake. It was replaced by Farewell My Friend at the last minute, and maybe they picked that one to leave out cause Carl's voice is kind of obvious on it. It's great in the Moonshine dreamy type of vein. |

This thread has my blood pressure rising again! Whenever we talk about Dennis' music, especially the solo stuff, I start longing for an official release/compilation/box/POB. Come on, Guercio, show some class, give it up!  |

2. Lady
3. Slip On Through
4. 4th Of July
5. Celebrate The News
6. Moonshine
7. Baby Blue
8. Carry Me Home

A nice mixture of different styles methinks. No Forever just coz everyone knows and loves this track already..

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings. Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45. Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story |

Wow, I can only pick TEN?
Ok, here goes...
1. Cuddle Up
2. Lady
3. Thoughts of You
4. I've Got a Friend
5. Be With Me
6. Barbara
7. Baby Blue
8. Carry Me Home
9. Got To Know the Woman
10. Wild Situation
Wow...I left so many of my favorite songs off. I think it's impossible for me to make a 'Top Ten Dennis' list. Dennis' music is magical to me. Even 'Make It Good', which most people don't seem to like...

'Make It Good' is fantastic! I know what u mean, had to leave off so many tracks that i goshdarn adore! In fact, going back over my list - where the hell is It's Not Too Late? Or Friday Night? Or Rainbows? Can we make it Top 50 Dennis tracks instead...? Or Top Ten Mike maybe? I'll get things rolling...
1. Big Sur
2. Big Sur (the Landlocked version)
3. Sumarhara (It's cheesy bobbins i admit, but..)
4. Everyones In Love With You (actually i hate this song!)
5. Erm....
6. Kokomo (I realise about 15 other people co-wrote it but it counts no? No? Oh.)
7. Hang on, I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
8. Can i put Good Vibrations? His name does after all come first on the writing credits?
9. One of those sh*t songs of MIU
10. .....
