My ex couldn't see Smile beyond being a set of unfinished fragments, and she mockingly likened it to one of those annoying made for discos mega-mixes where they only play little bits of several songs. I gave up trying to explain after a while and stopped listening to it when she was home.
For a brief moment I read: '...stopped listening to her when she was at home.'

My wife admits to liking Heroes and Villains and she loves Good Vibrations, and she likes all the early surf and car songs. The one BB song she thinks is too weird is Honkin Down the Highway although she says it has a good beat. And some of the stuff from Adult/Child that I played she said sounded like they were drunk or out of tune.
My Jan & Dean listening habit she can't understand, though.
The last thing I would play for someone not a serious fan of the BB's would be Adult Child or Love You.
Yeah, I didn't play it to her, I was just listening to it and she overheard it.

My wife loves them and will listen to
anything
Jan and/or Dean (even Jan & Arnie) from Jennie Lee to Yellow Balloon.
She tells me be sure to "bring the boys" when we go for ride into town.
She doesn't even flinch at "Schlok Rod"
Ive been holding back "Carnival of Sound" for later in the summer, she doesn't know about it yet.

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

Love You is what solidified my wife being a fan when I first started getting her into the group.

I don't recall her exact words but Mrs. O'Leary's Cow totally creeped out my wife.
I think she's kind of creeped out by BW in general, although she likes her vintage Beach Boys as much as the next 50-something.

I was making furniture whilst listening to the Smiley Smile sessions on Sunday. My girlfriend came into the room for ten or so minutes for a chat whilst i slaved away putting together her new bedside cabinet. After a while she went silent and didn't say anything for several minutes whilst the Beach Boys were heard rehearsing the fade to Wind Chimes. Eventually she said, ''
What
are you listening too?'' I said, ''The Beach Boys of course'' [I was surprised she felt the need to even ask]. Then she went, with a voice representing genuine wonder/bafflement, ''It's so weird. It doesn't sound like anything else''. ''Exactly'', i replied, ''that's what makes them so great''. She didn't seem overly convinced. ''It's just so odd''.
Beach Boys stuff she has liked however... A Day In The Life Of A Tree (''Wow, who is that? What a lovely song''), L.A. Light Album (funnily enough my ex really loved this album too, in particular Baby Blue) and Dennis' Pacific Ocean Blue.

I always thought Carnival Of Sound is pretty much the most accessible J&D 'record' (Save For A Rainy Day too), outside of a few tracks (Only A Boy can get to f***), but you could play anyone who digs the 60's pop stuff Girl You're Blowing My Mind or Hawaii and they would see the merits. I can't get into their 'real' records at all! Too many crap jokes and dumb songs.
I realise this isn't a popular view at all round these parts.

Some friends and I were driving over an old rickety bridge in deep backwoods Virginia late late one night. My friend stopped the car in the middle of the bridge and turned the car off. It was pitch black out and there was complete silence except for the sound of branches rustling and the boards of the bridge creaking....a really creepy experience. Then I put on 'Fall Breaks and Back to Winter' over the car stereo - I was forced to turn it off within seconds. Someone yelled "
What the hell is that?!?
"
"The Beach Boys of course!" I replied.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!
"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.
Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

I'm convinced that the world's sum of girifriends appreciation of the Smile stuff falls down like this
1% of the chicks that listen to it like it. Some of those chicks are on this board.
20% of the chicks that hear it, don't like it, and don't mind telling you it's crap.
79% of the chicks that hear it, try to like it because they're kind hearted and soft like women are apt to be, and are trying to support their boyfriend's taste in music.

My wife does like the Beach Boys and fully accepts my obsession (and me).
But, 100 times out of 100, she asks for "Who Ran The Iron Horse" to either be turned down or switched off.
everyone has their limits i guess

'who ran the iron horse' can be the most annoying piece of music ever made I have to admit.
