You do realize you're voting off one of the best BB's songs ever made? Wow... Nope, didn't realize that. Obviously... |

Big thanks to Fall Breaks for putting together a viable list of songs to vote from. I will quote his disclaimer text: All songs legally released. Rounds not strictly defined by eras, since I wanted about an album’s length of songs in every round. May or may not work. No guarantee that I haven’t forgot to include some obscure track. You could argue that especially the 1969-1971 “suffers” from having too many strong tracks where only one can win, but then again, only one Pet Sounds track made it to the finals as well. Version specifications have to be made for some tracks, e.g. Can’t Wait Too Long and It’s A Beautiful Day). So... without further ado.... THE FINAL ROUND BEGINS NOW!!!!Saint Michael has retreated back to India to find his mojo.  Final round means it is not time to VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SONG!!! I will tally votes on February 11th!!!! Breakaway Soulful Old Man Sunshine Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again Round#1 - Loop De Loop (w/1998 overdubs) January 24 Round#2 - HELP Is On The Way January 26 Round#3 - 4th Of July January 28 Round#4 - I Just Got My Pay January 29 Round#5 - Where Is She January 31 Round#6 - Games Two Can Play February 3 Round#7 - Cottonfields (single version) February 4 Round#8 - Celebrate the News February 6 Round#9 - San Miguel February 8 Soulful Old Man Sunshine is great, but as has been stated previously, it's a bit too "shampoo commerical". I love (Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again, but in the end it's a bit overlong and is hurt by the lack of guitar solo. My absolute favorite for this round would have to be Breakaway. The complexity of layers really became apparent when Desper uploaded his analysis for us all to watch. Wonderful performances. Wonderful engineering. Wonderful production. Just about perfect in every way a beach Boys song should be. |

Painful to vote as I love all 3 very, very much. But Breakaway gets my vote, one of Brian's true tours-de-force. It can easily compete with anything the man's ever done, in my opinion.

Breakaway has always been a personal favourite. I love the verses especially. I'll vote for Breakaway, but I'd be pleased with either it or WIBNTLA winning.

Don't want to get my hopes up too soon...but my favorite from the start has made it to the final round. I have really enjoyed these odds-n-ends lists.
"Soulful Old Man Sunshine" gets my vote as Best Track on the list. . This is one of my very favorite Carl vocals. Until some of you made reference to it sounding like a "commercial jingle," I've never thought it nothing more than a fabulous track that should have found a place on Sunflower. Brian and Rick did a fine job on this. I had never heard it prior to 1998. One of my very favorite tracks on MIC, I've just grown to love it over the years. Like "Breakaway" a Great Up-Beat song, which would be my second choice here. A hard choice for sure. Carl's vocal gives "Soulful Old Man Sunshine" the edge. . As for "(Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again," while quite beautiful, it has not had enough time to grow on me yet. But is a solid #3 on the list. We got the final three right. Great Round. |
