Title: Beach Boys Survivor #19 WINNER: BREAKAWAY!! Post by: pixletwin on January 22, 2014, 03:30:09 PM Big thanks to Fall Breaks for putting together a viable list of songs to vote from. I will quote his disclaimer text:
Quote All songs legally released. Rounds not strictly defined by eras, since I wanted about an album’s length of songs in every round. May or may not work. No guarantee that I haven’t forgot to include some obscure track. You could argue that especially the 1969-1971 “suffers” from having too many strong tracks where only one can win, but then again, only one Pet Sounds track made it to the finals as well. Version specifications have to be made for some tracks, e.g. Can’t Wait Too Long and It’s A Beautiful Day). So... without further ado.... As usual, VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG!!! I will tally votes on January 24 Celebrate the News Breakaway Cottonfields (single version) Soulful Old Man Sunshine Loop De Loop (w/1998 overdubs) San Miguel Games Two Can Play I Just Got My Pay HELP Is On The Way 4th Of July Wouldn’t It Be Nice To Live Again Where Is She My least fave.... San Miguel. Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19: Odds 'n' Ends part Three 1969-71 Post by: alf wiedersehen on January 22, 2014, 03:32:04 PM Loop de Loop

Back Home Barbara Lady & Sound of Free are technically DW songs, but they were included on BB comps as BB songs, so they could be included as well… Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19: Odds 'n' Ends part Three 1969-71 Post by: Disney Boy (1985) on January 23, 2014, 03:08:20 AM Loop De Loop - it's, at best, a throwaway b-side.

Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19: Odds 'n' Ends part Three 1969-71 Post by: Quzi on January 23, 2014, 07:57:11 AM The mashup on youtube of Sail Plane Song and Loop De Loop is rather nice though as we're voting for the tracks as they appeared on the album, Loop De Loop has gotta go. Too bombastic for me.

.

I've added that description to the track in the first post. :3d
Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19: Odds 'n' Ends part Three 1969-71 Post by: Summer_Days on January 23, 2014, 06:11:04 PM The single version of 'Cottonfields' would make sense since we already voted on the album track version, obviously.

Quote All songs legally released. Rounds not strictly defined by eras, since I wanted about an album’s length of songs in every round. May or may not work. No guarantee that I haven’t forgot to include some obscure track. You could argue that especially the 1969-1971 “suffers” from having too many strong tracks where only one can win, but then again, only one Pet Sounds track made it to the finals as well. Version specifications have to be made for some tracks, e.g. Can’t Wait Too Long and It’s A Beautiful Day). So... without further ado.... THis round has put me into a punchin' kinda mood. 4th of July is exquisite! A pox upon all of you who voted it out!

How any of you can't be absolutely bowled over by that fade to Celebrate The News is beyond me? Whack up the volume and it's one of my favourite moments in any Beach Boys song ever! All those different instruments all sound fantastic, the drums are incredible, 'a-wum-a-num-ah, a-wum-a-num-ah' - it's just phenomenal and wayyyy better than the (admittedly brilliant) A-side.

Quote All songs legally released. Rounds not strictly defined by eras, since I wanted about an album’s length of songs in every round. May or may not work. No guarantee that I haven’t forgot to include some obscure track. You could argue that especially the 1969-1971 “suffers” from having too many strong tracks where only one can win, but then again, only one Pet Sounds track made it to the finals as well. Version specifications have to be made for some tracks, e.g. Can’t Wait Too Long and It’s A Beautiful Day). So... without further ado.... Apprently this was a Game that more than Two could Play... 12 actually. (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/survivor.gif) Unlike #17/18 we will keep this one at a one song vote.

Obviously... :) Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19: Odds 'n' Ends part Three 1969-71 Post by: pixletwin on February 09, 2014, 09:51:24 AM Big thanks to Fall Breaks for putting together a viable list of songs to vote from. I will quote his disclaimer text:
Quote All songs legally released. Rounds not strictly defined by eras, since I wanted about an album’s length of songs in every round. May or may not work. No guarantee that I haven’t forgot to include some obscure track. You could argue that especially the 1969-1971 “suffers” from having too many strong tracks where only one can win, but then again, only one Pet Sounds track made it to the finals as well. Version specifications have to be made for some tracks, e.g. Can’t Wait Too Long and It’s A Beautiful Day). So... without further ado.... THE FINAL ROUND BEGINS NOW!!!! Saint Michael has retreated back to India to find his mojo. (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/survivor.gif) Final round means it is not time to VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SONG!!! I will tally votes on February 11th!!!! Breakaway Soulful Old Man Sunshine Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again Round#1 - Loop De Loop (w/1998 overdubs) January 24 Round#2 - HELP Is On The Way January 26 Round#3 - 4th Of July January 28 Round#4 - I Just Got My Pay January 29 Round#5 - Where Is She January 31 Round#6 - Games Two Can Play February 3 Round#7 - Cottonfields (single version) February 4 Round#8 - Celebrate the News February 6 Round#9 - San Miguel February 8 Soulful Old Man Sunshine is great, but as has been stated previously, it's a bit too "shampoo commerical". I love (Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again, but in the end it's a bit overlong and is hurt by the lack of guitar solo. My absolute favorite for this round would have to be Breakaway. The complexity of layers really became apparent when Desper uploaded his analysis for us all to watch. Wonderful performances. Wonderful engineering. Wonderful production. Just about perfect in every way a beach Boys song should be.

But Breakaway gets my vote, one of Brian's true tours-de-force. It can easily compete with anything the man's ever done, in my opinion.

Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19 FINAL ROUND: Odds 'n' Ends part Three 1969-71 Post by: feelsflow on February 09, 2014, 11:52:04 AM Don't want to get my hopes up too soon...but my favorite from the start has made it to the final round. I have really enjoyed these odds-n-ends lists.
"Soulful Old Man Sunshine" gets my vote as Best Track on the list. . This is one of my very favorite Carl vocals. Until some of you made reference to it sounding like a "commercial jingle," I've never thought it nothing more than a fabulous track that should have found a place on Sunflower. Brian and Rick did a fine job on this. I had never heard it prior to 1998. One of my very favorite tracks on MIC, I've just grown to love it over the years. Like "Breakaway" a Great Up-Beat song, which would be my second choice here. A hard choice for sure. Carl's vocal gives "Soulful Old Man Sunshine" the edge. . As for "(Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again," while quite beautiful, it has not had enough time to grow on me yet. But is a solid #3 on the list. We got the final three right. Great Round.

I thought it was on course to absolutely storm this round - very disappointed to see Breakaway in the lead. I think it'd be nice if a Brian song didn't win every single round. I like Breakaway, but to me, it's not Brian at his best. It just sort of... ends. WIBNTLA is so moving - incredible song. It lived up to the hype, which is rare indeed. Dennis deserves to win this one. Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19 FINAL ROUND: Odds 'n' Ends part Three 1969-71 Post by: Gertie J. on February 09, 2014, 01:00:49 PM damn brianistas ;D

If WIBNTLA was written by anyone else, I'd still say the same thing. It's just a mind-blowing, staggeringly majestically powerful song and the fact that it doesn't even have half as many votes as Breakaway is Bullshit in my opinion Don't get me wrong, Breakaway is also a brilliant song, and it deserved to make it to the finals, same for Shunshine. But neither aren't nearly as good as WIBNTLA, and I'm just shocked that it's not a landslide win like Little Girl I Once Knew on the other thread, let alone being beaten by a song which isn't even one of Brian's best Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19 FINAL ROUND: Odds 'n' Ends part Three 1969-71 Post by: rab2591 on February 09, 2014, 05:50:30 PM Soulful Old Man Sunshine

Here's the thing about WIBNTLA; I'd be a lot more knocked out by it if I hadn't already heard Cuddle Up I've Got a Friend Love Remember Me Barbara.

As to what Al said- a well-known quote as it was featured in the twofer liner notes- I think people have taken it too much on board and let it affect the way they hear the song. Obviously Al was very disappointed it wasn't a hit, but it WAS a hit in the UK, and it'd have been in a hit in the U.S. too if the Beach Boys weren't such box office poison at the time.

If you are torn between any two of these songs, please vote for breakaway it deserves your vote! Nope. WIBNTLA deserves your vote. WIBNTLA is one of Denny's best songs, as well as one of the best songs the BB's ever made. As good as Breakaway is, it's not even one of Brian's best songs, and falls far short of WIBNTLA. Same with Soulful Old Man Shunshine. Breakaway and SOMS are neither half as powerful or beautiful as WIBNTLA! Obviously the Brianistas disagree, as they must have Brian's songs win every single round. This is such a frustrating sentiment. Your entire message was pure opinion, but you present it as though it's fact. If anybody sees it different than you, it's because they're wrong and they have some grudge against Dennis. We're just all Brianistas who can't bear to think that a Dennis song should receive a single vote. When, in reality, we all have different opinions. I don't think it's one of the best songs they did. It's alright, but the legacy of the song and its ties to Dennis make you vote for this song. Which is exactly what you attack "Brianistas" for doing. Perhaps I don't drool over this song like you do, and I find "Soulful Old Man Sunshine" to be a more pleasant, enjoyable listen. Is that okay with you? If WIBNTLA was written by anyone else, I'd still say the same thing. It's just a mind-blowing, staggeringly majestically powerful song and the fact that it doesn't even have half as many votes as Breakaway is Bullshit in my opinion Don't get me wrong, Breakaway is also a brilliant song, and it deserved to make it to the finals, same for Shunshine. But neither aren't nearly as good as WIBNTLA, and I'm just shocked that it's not a landslide win like Little Girl I Once Knew on the other thread, let alone being beaten by a song which isn't even one of Brian's best Man, if you get so frustrated over someone having a different opinion from yours, I don't think hanging around message boards is such a good idea. Seriously. I'm not a 'brianista' and I'm not even sure what it means, but I hate to be called one over and over again by you just because I happen to think Breakaway is an amazing song. Tootsie's post is well-stated and reflects my feelings too, so I don't wanna repeat what he said. Please read it again and try to drop the childish attitude.

It's the last real pop single Brian wrote, an end of a era. I can even forgive the tag fading far too soon. Here's the thing about WIBNTLA; I'd be a lot more knocked out by it if I hadn't already heard Cuddle Up I've Got a Friend Love Remember Me Barbara. A good 50% of the song seems to have been lifted from or recycled for the above songs. Ooo Ooo that smarts, Ow!

Anyway enough of my moaning. I will vote for Breakaway.

Surely if (like me) you can't believe San Miguel and Celebrate the News are gone, why not help keep the Dennis flame aloft by voting for WIBNTLA? :) Soulful is ok but rather over-praised on here. It certainly isn't better than San or Celebrate that's for sure... Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19 FINAL ROUND: Odds 'n' Ends part Three 1969-71 Post by: Watch a Cave on February 10, 2014, 10:43:40 AM This is a difficult selection for me.. aarrgh. Both songs have their pros and cons.
Breakaway sounds great but I do feel it is missing something. I can't quite put my finger on exactly what that is, but it doesn't feel done. Maybe a soaring Brian falsetto at the end would have given me a sense of completion. In my opinion WIBNTLA features the best Dennis vocal on record.. I mean he truly sounds like a Wilson brother. Just a fantastic performance. However, the ending is a little bit of a disappointment for me.. I was expecting some over the top harmonies or something. The rest of the song is excellent though and what a joy to finally get the opportunity to hear it! So for me it's a 90% completed Brian tune that had great potential vs a fully realized Dennis masterpiece with minor flaws. My vote goes to Wouldn't it be nice to live again.

It carries a weight to it the other two do not. A very special song to me. Sorry Break Away. Love the song, but the outro doesn't have the warmth that I think it needs to feel conclusive.

I will quote his disclaimer text:
Quote All songs legally released. Rounds not strictly defined by eras, since I wanted about an album’s length of songs in every round. May or may not work. No guarantee that I haven’t forgot to include some obscure track. You could argue that especially the 1969-1971 “suffers” from having too many strong tracks where only one can win, but then again, only one Pet Sounds track made it to the finals as well. Version specifications have to be made for some tracks, e.g. Can’t Wait Too Long and It’s A Beautiful Day). So... without further ado.... With 12 votes, Soulful Old Man Sunshine sets for good. (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/survivor.gif) With 13 votes, Dennis' Opus Magnum (Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again gains respect. (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/survivor.gif) And the winner of perhaps the most hotly contested round of BEACH BOYS SURVIVOR is... with 22 votes... !!!BREAKAWAY!!! Round#1 - Loop De Loop (w/1998 overdubs) January 24 Round#2 - HELP Is On The Way January 26 Round#3 - 4th Of July January 28 Round#4 - I Just Got My Pay January 29 Round#5 - Where Is She January 31 Round#6 - Games Two Can Play February 3 Round#7 - Cottonfields (single version) February 4 Round#8 - Celebrate the News February 6 Round#9 - San Miguel February 8 Round#10 - Soulful Old Man Sunshine February 11 Round#10 - (Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again February 11 New rounds of Survivor to start soon!!!!

Dennis made it to the top of the mountain however, with WIBNTLA and River Song, possibly Forever. Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19 WINNER: BREAKAWAY!!

If you know anything about chord analysis, compare the two chord structures. Surf Up is far more complex. If you examine the production and the arrangement, Surf Up possesses subtleties that wouldn't it be nice to live again doesn't even come close to.
That being said, it is among Dennis' best compositions, and an equal to many of Brian's. It is definitely Dennis is best vocal pre-Pacific ocean blue.

In fact it's arguably the greatest song the Beach Boys ever made which, considering they're the greatest band of all time, means it could even be said it's the greatest pop song ever, period. However, I stand by what i said: a song isn't automatically superior to another song just because it has a more complex arrangement. Look at Til I Die - certainly in comparison to Surf's Up at least it's fairly un-complex, but I can think of few songs that are so f**king damn good!

Post by: pixletwin on February 15, 2014, 03:52:45 PM I created an edit of WITNTLA that extends extends the intro by a measure, removes the guitar solo (as it were), and fades out a wee bit into the end jam. For me it tightens up the song and makes it much more enjoyable.

Of all the Desper study videos, this one (to date) is my favorite! A big +1 to that - it's really, really cool; thanks Stephen and Will C - even happily suprised myself by during the singalong; think I'd pretty well, in fact. CAN NOT WAIT for the under construction items to be revealed ;D And the winner of perhaps the most hotly contested round of BEACH BOYS SURVIVOR is... with 22 votes... !!!BREAKAWAY!!! COMMENT: Now that Breakaway has won the contest, those of you who wish an in-depth look at Breakaway should visit the Study-Video of this song by its engineer. The a cappella of the words, the recording details, the sing along section, and other tidbits of info about Breakaway are a click away. SEE: http://swdstudyvideos.com and look for the Breakaway button. ~Good Listening, ~Stephen W. Desper Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19 WINNER: BREAKAWAY!!

The part of the song I dislike is the 'I know I/you can cry' part and the floundering afterwards. Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #19 WINNER: BREAKAWAY!! Post by: Disney Boy (1985) on February 16, 2014, 07:32:39 AM Boooooo!!! Dennis was robbed. I've pretty much agreed with the result of every round before now, but WIBNTLA is just so, so, so much better than Breakaway - I'm actually slightly heartbroken by this result. WIBNTLA is Dennis' Surf's Up. Every songwriter has their own Surf's Up. Susie Cincinnati is Al's. naw, its kona coast :hat ;D Don't agree with either of you. Al's Surf's Up is either Lady Lynda or Don't Fight The Sea. Though neither is in the same league as WIBNTLA and Surf's Up WIBNTLA is not in the same league as Surf's Up. That's what I was getting at. Surf's Up is a work of art. WIBNTLA is a sappy, cliche-ridden love ballad. It's enjoyable, but clunky. You seem to have a real issue with Dennis, Gabo! Something we should know?
