Title: most famous \ Post by: punkinhead on February 15, 2013, 06:22:04 PM First of all, what I mean by unreleased is anything that's released as a bonus track or considered previously unreleased on twofers, box sets, b00tleg, or compilations like Endless Harmony or Hawthorne CA...Then as I consider most famous, I think of what the music listening public has possibly heard from documentaries, random radio listenings, or those of us who try to share the deeper tracks we know and love.
I can think of a list of songs that some may know- Loop De Loop Flip Flop (Some of my family and friends know this because I used to blare it when I first for the EH soundtrack, my brother asked me- "did that song not do so well?") Mrs. OLearys Cow (possibly from An American Band doc) Good Vibrations (early version) Soulful Old Man Sunshine Hang On to Your Ego (its discussion on many articles about Pet Sounds and such) Can't Wait too Long (its use on TLOS making it finally get released after years of usage on Smile mixes for some reason, and almost being put on other albums) San Miguel He's a Bum (Starting from David Leaf's rumor/article, talking about sining background vocals) Still I Dream it Of (the use on IJWMFTT, rumors of the Adult Child album, etc) Holy Man We Got Love Spirit of Rock and Roll (Since its appearence on the Hawaii reunion special, Brian's few performances, and Bob Dylan's rumor appearence) Do you Like Worms? Brian's Back California Feeling (rumors brought to the public that Brian's genius was back) Sherri She Needs Me Smart Girls (rumors of BW rapping in the early 90s) My Solution I'm sure there's some who will disagree with me, but I'd like to hear your votes or suggestions.

Check the 1990 twofer of SS/WH. Title: Re: most famous \ Post by: I. Spaceman on February 15, 2013, 07:12:12 PM And the GV box, of course.
I would say Fire is #1. Title: Re: most famous \ Post by: Please delete my account on February 16, 2013, 02:31:03 AM Maybe "Hang on to your Ego" due to the massive disproportionate fame and popularity Pet Sounds enjoys. The first Beach Boys album I ever owned was Pet Sounds on cassette and "Ego" was included as bonus track.

Check the 1990 twofer of SS/WH. Title: Re: most famous \ Post by: AndrewHickey on February 16, 2013, 03:35:42 PM I honestly think that none of those except Hang Onto Your Ego and *maybe* Fire would be known of by anyone other than the hardcore fanbase.
Title: Re: most famous \ Post by: I. Spaceman on February 16, 2013, 04:05:34 PM Fire was the symbol of Brian's craziness, cited in many articles and stories about the band, and spotlighted in the American Band film. Ego, I would rate above only hardcores, only because Frank Black covered it.

Ego, I would rate above only hardcores, only because Frank Black covered it. Ego is also the bonus track on Pet Sounds, which many, *many* people have without owning another Beach Boys album.
