Not covers, but homages, pastiches, etc. Try to include youtube/spotify links if you can  Smiley

And anyone who posts solo songs by the boys is missing the point!

For example,

1. The Raspberries - Cruisin' Music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjTkiq8HAkw

2. John Cale - The Man Who Couldn't Afford To Orgy http://open.spotify.com/track/4LlhseQoPvFR5eUTW6QZRe

3. To Arms Etc - All Showed Up http://open.spotify.com/track/2E6bRKa46L8qMa66xms57f

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Definitely! I think I might have been a little vague, although the examples should give you a clue.

I'll chuck these all into a Spotify playlist when I'm done, me thinks.

Splitsville's The Complete Pet Soul apes, in part, Pet Sounds-era BBs. It's good stuff too: "Aliceanna", "Caroline Knows", "The Love Songs of B. Douglas Wilson" (can it be any more transparent?) are all great. I don't even think they're mere pastiche, I think they capture the spirit too...

37. The Ronettes - Walking In The Rain

It's so proto-Pet Sounds. Those bass fills, the lyrics, the harmonies... I can't believe he never covered it.

38. Fleetwood Mac - That's All For Everyone

John Fogerty's "Almost saturday night" from his second soloalbum always kinda sounded Beach Boys-ish to me. What do you think?

I've always appreciated and loved Spector's Walking in the Rain...but I always thought he kinda cheated by getting the cliche/over-used thunder sound effect. Phil is that guy that 'makes' the thunder effect with the Wall of Sound.

BTW: You, Baby has recently grown on me....I could see Brian having an 'o-face' when listening to that song...I don't think it gets enough credit

I don't know whether girl group tunes sound like the BB's or BW was trying to write girl group tunes.

That Fogerty track has a real 15 Big Ones 'It's Ok' kinda vibe, i love it!

Another easy girl group one.

40. The Crystals - All Grown Up (....Inside, outside, USA!) How weird. I can't find the version on Back To Mono anywhere. Instead there's this pansy version.

41. Jack Nitzsche - Lower California http://open.spotify.com/track/2FATQR2Yd520jpRFtpNT4u

Take a Picture by Margo Guryan fits here too, considering it's a lovely little psychedelic pop album (released 1968) that she came to record after hearing "God Only Knows" and thinking what BW was doing held far more interest to her than the jazz she was learning at the time. It's not all that often you hear jazz heads commenting positively on BW (or pop music generally), let alone eschew jazz altogether for the pop idiom!

That's a real nice album. Her voice is cute as hell. Kind of unsympathetically played at points though - like a lot of it would have been better served without slightly tacky session dude arrangements

Sticking on topic....

45. Todd Rundgren - Marlene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLgL8dg_MvA

Didn't listen to them all, but VDP's Sunshine was good, Thanxx!  Can't remember hearing that before.
 Maybe not the place for it, but here's the CTTS sheet music as recorded by Harper's Bizaarre, with, of course, VDP's credits.

I'm not sure I understand this. Are we naming songs that sound like The Beach Boys, or songs that would have sounded good as done by The Beach Boys? Either way, I would have to go with "Feeling Stronger Everyday"  by Chicago. I think it would have sounded cool sung by Carl, with everybody singing the harmony.
