I'm going to guess your copy of "Friends" was acquired from a YouTube video where someone posted Celebration's "Gettin' Hungry" or something and acidentally labelled it as "Friends".

The disco "Here Comes the Night". Upon purchasing LA I was so distraught that I scratched the vinyl so the needle would skip through the song.
The biggest problem with the song is that it is a generic disco arrangement (Think "Fly, Robin Fly" or the soundtrack to any CHiPs episode - simply awful) with Beach Boy vocals layered on top of it.
"Miss You" might be a disco song but it is a Stones song through and through.
I can't comment on the post 1985 work because I wasn't interested in albums that had no Carl Wilson material. So pre 1985 I would add the following:
"Love is Woman"
"Let's Put Our Hearts Together"
"I Wanna Pick You Up"
All the Originals on MIU except for "My Diane"
"When girls Get Together"
After "It's OK" any Mike Love song written form the viewpoint of a teenager that attempts to recreate the pre "Pet Sounds' vibe is bad ("Kona Coast", "California Calling", etc.). Mike's commercial sense is/was firmly rooted in 1964 and as George Harrison said (when commenting on a Beatles reunion) - "you can't reheat soufflé.

In 1974 Mike Love's concept album Endless Summer ignited a second generation of Beach Boys fans and stirred a comeback that rocked the music world.

Doin' some late night laundry and read through this entire thread...here's my 2 cents:
Unreleased: "Brian" from SI
Released: "Crocodile Rock" or "Passing Friend"

Also, I don't know how somebody could consider Friends to be the "worst" Beach Boys song of all time but like Belles of Paris. I love Friends, it's a great song, and I won't hear otherwise!

Yeah, that is true 'men with white coats' material right there..
I can't say anything off Sweet Insanity, which is absolutely insulting to human beings, cos it was never released. Gonna go for 'Hey Little Tomboy' instead.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

"Here She Comes", nothing to do with the BBs and boring.
Indeed. Soul-less, rambling, and no BBs connection at all. I think they nicked it from the internet.

I can see why people might find "Hey Little Tomboy" a little problematic, but is it a song worse than "Problem Child", "Crocodile Rock", "Happy Endings" or "Santa's Going to Kokomo"? Personally I don't think so at all.

I do love me my Love You. Strangely enough, I can single out tracks that I really don't like: Love Is A Woman, Airplane, Ding Dang... perhaps I only like half of the set really. And still it's an ace album.

I actually like it a lot as long as we're talking about the studio version only.

Call me crazy, but I actually really like Santa's Goin To Kokomo! It's a cool little song, and I think an added bonus is it came out the week before my first trip to Maui, and it was stuck in my head for much of that time! Good memories!

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I have no problems with Mike Love singing lead on "Getcha Back"
but to be honest, was that the best effort he could do? His voice is right for the song, but its a lousy job of singing it.
His son Christian sings it a lot better then he did. Sounds a little like a young Dennis
Which begs the question:
is
Christian his son? Or....?
OHHHHHHH my.... *spit take*
Haha very good point!

My vote would have to go to "Summer Of Love." A lot of that, I must admit, comes from the video, which simply intensifies and magnifies the song's magical mix of loathesomeness, incompetence and general confusion of ideas -- you can't even tell who's in the band. It's almost into MST3K so bad it's good territory. Almost.

for me it's "He come down" because ANY song that equates the Maharishi to Jesus is going to be lame,,,lol..and it's just plain boring,the disco version of "hear comes the night" is pretty bad too,"winds of change" and most of SIP except for carls vocals . both versions of "sunshine" and the earl leaf/big daddy session stuff (etc) that were tagged to the end of the early albums..most of the early instrumentals from the first three albums are boring to me..i don't mind BB85 just think that the production is horrible,carls first album was pretty bad except for "heaven" . and too be honest with you most of their cover tunes are bad I would rather they JUST do original songs and not do "oldies"..and of course the award forr the worst is an unreleased ditty called "be true to your bud"
and all of "country love"..
