Bear with me folks. We are almost out of the DARK AGES for the Beach Boys. Summer in Paradise is the twenty-seventh studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on August 3, 1992 on Brother Records. Produced by Terry Melcher, it has been described as the band's critical and commercial low point.[1] The Beach Boys did not record another album of original material until That's Why God Made the Radio in 2012. Summer in Paradise was left out of Capitol's Beach Boys re-issue campaign in 2000 and 2001, and is currently out of print. We need to catch up with rounds #29 and 30 so we are going to begin by VOTING OFF TWO TRACKS per round. Tally on the 30th!!! Hot Fun in the Summertime Surfin' Summer of Love Island Fever Still Surfin' Slow Summer Dancin' (One Summer Night) Strange Things Happen Remember (Walking in the Sand) Lahaina Aloha Under the Boardwalk Summer in Paradise Forever My least two faves on this one are easy: FOREVER and SURFIN'.

"Remember (Walking in the Sand)" and "Forever"
I almost feel like "Summer of Love" should win.

Summer of Love Surfin'
Forever is hands down my favorite song on this album. If you hear it as a cover instead of a remake, it's really not that bad at all.

Summer of Love Surfin'
No way should Forever go out before these two trainwrecks. It still contains the same basic melody as the original. If anything, it's more along the lines of iffy covers of classic songs like Hot Fun in the Summertime.

Mike's not a Hawthorne boy. The Hawthorne guys stuck together. The Wilsons and I always had a special bond. We felt like we were a team.

This album will be hard because nearly all the tracks are so horrible it's hard to single them out. Most problematically, I hardly ever listen to this album (though I've listened enough to know it's not worth further listens) so I don't have enough familiarity with the tracks to specify which one is more objectionable than the next. I probably won't vote in many more rounds on this one simply because I can't.
But I definitely vote for Surfin' - that one definitely stands out to me as the worst.
My second vote goes to whichever song is the Bruce Johnston one (Slow Summer Dancing, right)? I remember a Bruce song here that was even worse than She Believes in Love Again which I hardly thought possible.

Save that question for Stars and Stripes vol. 1 aka Beach Boys Survivor #33. Perhaps we should have a vote on whether we should do a Stars and Stripes round? In my opinion, I don't think it's a good idea. It's basically a Country-themed remake of the Beach Boys classics from the 60's, and the Beach Boys themselves are only on backing vocals here.

Where to begin...a record that Stamass was allowed in to the sessions. And on the concert stage. I was left to wonder, why Carl? So first, let's get rid of the horror that is "John's disrespectful version of forever" and...many to choose from, "Summer of Love". I actually still own this "record" - cover's nice.

No voted needed. It's a studio album featuring the Beach Boys. Co-produced by the Beach Boys. People may not like it, but it's a Beach Boys album... just thankfully not the FINAL Beach Boys album.

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
