Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Cabinessenceking on June 04, 2015, 04:34:18 PM ok, real try...
Best Surfing Song: Surfin' USA Best Car Song: Don't Worry Baby Best Love Song: God Only Knows Best 70's Song: The Night Was So Young Best/Most Beautiful Beach Boys Harmonies Song: The Warmth Of The Sun Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Lee Marshall on June 04, 2015, 04:50:34 PM These are ALWAYS so HARD to do. And the 'answers' can easily change day to day.
Best Surfing Song: 'Surfin USA' because it grabbed my ears and made me a lifelong fan. NO regrets. Best Car Song: 'Custom Machine'. Always wanted my own version. Finally got it. With a KICK ASS sound system. [for playin' Brian/Beach Boys tunes on primarily] Best Love Song: 'Only With You'...Carl Version. [Our wedding song...and sho nuff...Lucy prefers Dennis' version. :lol] Best 70's Song: I'd go with Surf's Up...except...well...YOU know. So...'Add Some/Add Some /Add Some/Add Some Music...To Your Day' Best/Most Beautiful Beach Boys Harmonies Song: Tie...'God Only Knows' [who?] *a n d* 'Our Prayer'. Even their best 'instrumentals' have voices in the mix. Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on June 04, 2015, 05:17:21 PM Best surfing song: Surf's Up
Best car song (mechanical song): Sail Plane Best love song: Let the Wind Blow Best 70s song: Til I Die Best harmony song: Celebrate the News Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: kookadams on June 04, 2015, 07:16:38 PM Since sunflower was recorded in 69 would songs from surfs up be considered their first output from the 70s? And other than surfs up til I die and take a load off your ft the rest of the album was recorded in 70 rt?
Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Sheriff John Stone on June 04, 2015, 07:36:39 PM Best Surfing Song: Surfin' U.S.A.
Best Car Song: I Get Around Best Love Song: Cuddle Up Best 70's Song: Til I Die Best/Most Beautiful Harmonies Song: In My Room Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Cyncie on June 04, 2015, 08:46:33 PM Best Surfing Song: Surfer Girl
Best Car Song: Don't Worry Baby… okay, Fun, Fun, Fun Best Love Song: God Only Knows Best 70's Song: Til I Die Best/Most Beautiful Beach Boys Harmonies Song: Our Prayer Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Lee Marshall on June 04, 2015, 08:53:28 PM Since sunflower was recorded in 69 would songs from surfs up be considered their first output from the 70s? And other than surfs up til I die and take a load off your ft the rest of the album was recorded in 70 rt? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Crap on a stick!!! So add Some Music to Your Day is dated...and I become a child of the 60s? Well I was anyway. In THAT case then...I'd substitute 'Add Some Music to Your Day' with 'Sail On Sailor' as their best 70s song. Disagree completely with the premise that 'Love You' is the exception to the rule and that everything after 'Endless Summer' is "hodgepodge except Love You". 'Love You' is WAY too short on hodge and FAR too long on podge. Likely every 3 albums gave you enough material to make 1 decent lp. Sorry to Woody's Brother. I just really can't sit here and not make a noise when someone suggests that Love You is somehow 'all that'. I'd rank it just barely above Summer in Paradise and Smiley Smile as one of the top 4 or 5 worst Beach Boys albums ever. OK...Top 6. 'Surfin Safari' is pretty mediocre. I'd be 100% leary of trying to encourage a new fan to enlist with 'Love You'. Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: NateRuvin on June 04, 2015, 09:14:21 PM Let's play a game.

Best Car Song: Little Deuce Coupe Best Love Song: God Only Knows Best 70's Song: All This Is That Best/Most Beautiful Beach Boys Harmonies Song: Kiss Me, Baby Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: KDS on June 05, 2015, 06:45:54 AM Since sunflower was recorded in 69 would songs from surfs up be considered their first output from the 70s? And other than surfs up til I die and take a load off your ft the rest of the album was recorded in 70 rt? In these cases, I go by the release date. Since Sunflower was released in 1970, it's a 70s album. Love and Mercy was filmed in 2013, but when the movie in written about, it will be referred to as "the 2015 film Love and Mercy." Same rules apply. So, Lee, your choice is good, and for that matter, I probably should've put Surf's Up as my favorite 70s track. It was released in 1971, and Carl did record his leads in the 1970s (and did Brian in the coda). Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Sam_BFC on June 05, 2015, 02:48:59 PM I think I prefer Surfin Safari to Surfin USA
Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Lee Marshall on June 05, 2015, 05:47:29 PM I think I prefer Surfin Safari to Surfin USA As a song? Or as an album Sam? I always felt that they hadn't really found their sound with the first album. Then Brian took charge and there it was. I MUCH prefer album 2 to album 1. Surfin USA and Shut Down are both just oozing with energy, power and a whole new vocal direction NO ONE had ever applied to Rock 'n' Roll before. [Not sure what the rules are...If it's release dates...I'l backtrack to Surf's Up for My 70's song.] Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: orange22 on June 05, 2015, 11:05:07 PM Best Surfing Song: Surfin' USA
Best Car Song: Our Car Club Best Love Song: God Only Knows Best 70's Song: Leaving This Town Best/Most Beautiful Beach Boys Harmonies Song: Their Hearts were Full of Spring It's weird how people think of different songs. I put "Surfer Girl" as favorite surfing song, but then I thought that it really wasn't a surf song. Same for "I Get Around" and "Don't Worry Baby" as "car" songs. edit: Oh, and of course Surf's Up as a 70s song! Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Sam_BFC on June 06, 2015, 04:44:52 AM I think I prefer Surfin Safari to Surfin USA As a song? Just the song :) Thought I would drop that in as so many had chosen Surfin USA for best surfing song, so wanted to spread the appreciation! Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: RangeRoverA1 on June 06, 2015, 05:31:47 AM Best Surfing Song: "Surfin' USA"
... Car Song: "I Get Around" ... Love Song: "God Only Knows". I would've said WIBN, but GOK is real & sincere, the other is too dreamlike ... 70's Song: "Trader" (for now) ... Beach Boys Harmonies Song: oh, too many... the tag to "Wind Chimes" (SS) Title: Re: Summing up the Beach Boys Post by: Please delete my account on June 06, 2015, 08:04:41 AM Surfin' Safari
