Be With Me. Never been a favorite.
So you'd choose to vote off the album centrepiece over tracks such as Do It Again, Bluebirds, and I Went To Sleep?
If you ask me that's crazy lol
Be With Me is a pretty bad song. The lyrics of the verses have nothing to do with each other and the chorus seems very "tacked on." It's definitely feels like the work of an amateur songwriter. Not as bad as All I Want To Do, though.
Also, I Went To Sleep is gorgeous.

The fact that you think "Be with Me" is the album's centerpiece is even crazier to me.
Also, "I Went to Sleep" is amazing.

I can't believe I just read that *excuse me while I adjust my eyes*

Girls, girls, you're both pretty.
Anyway, the centerpiece of 20/20 is 'Time To Get Alone', so don't worry about it.

The lyrics aren't too important to me, and Be With Me is such an amazing song. I was blown away by it when I first listened to it!
All I Want To Do is fucking underrated, it almost makes me cry
Love both songs so much, I just can't believe anyone would even try to vote them off this early!

Don't care much for either I Went To Sleep or Time To Get Alone.

In my opinion Be With Me is easily the album's centrepiece. I'm just surprised that someone would strongly disagree with that.

What's with these votes for All I Want To Do, you boring squares?
Bluebirds gets my vote. As with Sunflower, Bruce easily provides the album low points.

I can't believe I just read that *excuse me while I adjust my eyes*
I like a lot of "raw" music. But from other bands. Whenever I put on a Beach Boys record, I want to hear pretty music.
And it's a pretty basic blues rock song without any particularly great hooks.
So what is it exactly that you can't believe reading?

Well, cuz I love that song
I thought it was one of Mike's best leads, but we each have our own taste in music and yea and can respect yours
. But I applaud the guys for not always sticking with the stereotypical surf, car, girl songs. As artists the fact that they can get away from that every once in awhile and still make it work is a great thing. And yea at the end of the day they're known for the "pretty music" and when I think of them that's the first thing I think of too

All I Want to Do
People talk about the guitar on "Bluebirds Over The Mountain" but everything about "All I Want to Do" screams, trying way too hard. It comes off like people trying and failing to be "cool" and is unlistenable for me.

No, Student Demo Time is an example of trying (and failing) to be cool. But All I Want To Do
is
cool - and it beats Gun & Roses by two decades with the 'live-sex-on-a-track'. In your face Axl!
I don't think Dennis was trying to be cool at all. He didn't have to
try
- he already effortlessly was. And All I Want To Do is an honest song - Dennis was a horny bastard and here he is writing about it!

The Nearest Faraway Place -- easy low-hanging fruit.
I love the whole album -- a few songs in it gets much tougher to eliminate any.

And in a strange way, I like Bluebirds precisely because you can 'see the strings'... it sounds like a conscious, and arguably somewhat desperate, attempt to update their sound, and there's something I find poignant in that (if that makes any sense).
Or more simply, I just think the guitar sounds cool.

To each his own, of course. I don't like his lead on the song because that's not Mike's natural singing voice. Which means he's putting on a voice, and that annoys me.

Yea you know as much as I liked it, I wish Denny would've went ahead and sang it himself
he had that natural rasp his voice that Mike was trying to imitate
