I've been seriously diggin' "Down Home" by Spring recently. I think it could be interestingly covered to bring out the dream-pop-ness that Brian's (or David's?) arrangement seems to suggest. The synths, organ, flute, and wooden blocks really blend well together...

Yeah, that one always stuck out as a good un on Spring, and I'm not very fond of that album really. Their voices suit the melancholy thing better than anything else, imo.

Yeah, there's a great little melancholy EP within that otherwise just-OK album! "Tennessee Waltz", "Thinkin' 'Bout You Baby", "Awake", "Sweet Mountain", "Down Home", and "Fallin' In Love" are all very good. I just wish Marilyn (or is it Diane?) could've hit the higher notes better.

"Cherry Cherry Coupe" is such a cool little song. I'd dare say it sounds almost Velvet Underground-y in its rhythm, had that group ever made car songs. LOL I dig Mike's (seemingly in a completely different melody?) bass vocals during the chorus too.

Funny you should say that -- check out this pre-Velvets Lou Reed track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYbCHKcT5Q0

This other one sounds a little more Velvety -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWG61CocCok

I love that this thread has survived...

Right now, it's Heroes & Villains Part 2. Such wonderful, concentrated harmony, and the Prelude To Fade, which is incredible in all ways.

I've been listening to "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times", and I think I can finally here some of the Spanish backing vocals. I don't know why, I just love it when Spanish lyrics are put into songs like that.

Speaking of that, Cocktails is probably my favorite song from Bambu.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

Brian Wilson moment kicking my ass: 'God Only Knows' from the What Love Can Do single.

That is one of the most beautiful lead vocals I've ever heard.

When the delayed bongo that acts like a snare in Caroline, No comes in on the "4" right before the 2nd verse. Subtle, but awesome production technique.

Following Disney Boy's numerous positive comments about Viggie, I downloaded & listened to it. He was dead right - what a beautiful song that is indeed! Hands down the best song written by Mike, even surpasses Big Sur (3/4). Indian flutes, the bridge, the singing - all is idyllic! Traditionally, Native American theme rules!

1 wee note: at 1st glance I thought the title can be read like ['vigi], not ['veʤi].

For me, it's "Going Home" from That Lucky Old Sun.  Was lots of fun seeing Brian, Al and David perform this in Kettering.

I'd hate to admit it, but ATM, it's "Looking Back With Love" by Mike Love.
As bad as it is, it often pops into my head. DAMN YOU MIKE LOVE!!!  Evil

Just thought of another two: "Maybe I Don't Know", and the disco remake of "Here Comes The Night". Unlike the first one I mentioned, the former actually is a good song.

That moment when the theremin kicks in towards the end of "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" and "sings" its melody line.

The "Pied Piper, I Better Get Back In Bed" part in Mount Vernon and Fairway. I can literally listen to it for hours and not get bored.  Grin

That part is why I can't get Lazy Lizzie out of my head.

Was just loving the whimsical vibe of the outro of 'Radio' whilst watching the song's music video...the song literally fades into the sunset.

Brian's lead on the alternate 'Don't Worry Baby' from MiC. I wish he would've recorded a double vocal of that.

Brian's drum machine bathed count-in to "Why Don't They Let Us Fall In Love".  Brian and Mike sound really good here, similar to "It's Just a Matter of Time".
Love Brian's lazy "duh-duh-duwuh-do"s!
