Post by: Mikie on May 05, 2013, 05:10:26 PM Since "Made In U.S.A." has been done, I think "Made In California" will be a great title!
There just might be a couple of songs that weren't made in California, but only the hard cores will know (and so what anyway). Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...?

There just might be a couple of songs that weren't made in California, but only the hard cores will know (and so what anyway). I think he (or she?) is referring to an alternate title to That's Why God Made The Radio (the album). I agree that that title is pretty rank, but wouldn't have chosen any of the above, too tacky. Beach Boys 50 would have probably been a nice title, to coincide with the tour, but then again, might have been confusing because it wasn't their 50th album. As far as naming albums after song titles goes, From There To Back Again would have made a good title. Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...?

Seriously though, "From there to back again" or "Summer's Gone" would have been great. Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...? Post by: Phoenix on May 05, 2013, 10:22:11 PM Summer's Gone

Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...? Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 06, 2013, 05:19:22 AM I like "Made In California", "Ocean Way" & "Tales From Hawthorne" titles.
Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...? Post by: Generation42 on May 06, 2013, 05:47:07 AM If this truly were to be the band's swan song, then I absolutely love Brian's original title for the album, Summer's Gone. Once things went so well, and Brian was (still is?) hopeful that even more Beach Boys albums could arise, I totally get why the group opted for a change, though.
I remember last year, before we knew what the record would be called, some suggesting that Ocean Way would make for a fitting title. Given the connection to the band's image and oft' quoted subject matter, it seems like a winner to me. Additionally (and maybe it's the Beatlefan in me), going out with a record named after the studio where the fellas have been working seems like a great idea, too, so should we ever get that one last Beach Boys LP, I'd put this one forth as a contender for the title of the next album. Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...? Post by: Ovi on May 06, 2013, 07:38:32 AM Think About The Days - would've sounded like a healthy dose of nostalgia, nothing too obvious or forced.
Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...? Post by: lostbeachboy on May 06, 2013, 07:54:17 AM I thought I saw the title was originally gonna be called Summer's Gone, but Brian changed it to TWGMTR... Sorry, I love Brian but that was a mistake.. The title is way too long, has nothing too do really with the album itself, the title should have been short and sweet. Something to honor their 50th anniversary reunion or where their from, or the fact their America's Band!
Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...? Post by: leggo of my ego on May 06, 2013, 09:07:39 AM I think Summer's Gone would have been a pretty great title, but that would be too much of a downer for Mr. Love. Summers Gone?? Naw. Thats a Doors rip-off anyway. Almost. ;D Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...?

Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...? Post by: SloopJohnB on May 06, 2013, 01:57:53 PM I suggested that one back when we didn't even know the title yet, but it would only have made sense if the bulk of the album had been Brian&Mike tunes...
"From Wilson, with Love". Title: Re: What would you have named the reunion album...? Post by: Wah Wah Wah Ooooo on May 06, 2013, 04:43:22 PM "Summer's Gone" and "Isn't It Time" would be my choices. I don't hate TWGMTR as a title, though.
