Title: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: DUMB ANGEL on January 21, 2006, 12:00:10 PM In my humble opinion, the three best ballads the Beach Boys ever did were; In My Room,Don't Worry Baby, and God Only Knows. Any Thoughts?
Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: Don't Back Down on January 21, 2006, 12:14:08 PM Don't Worry Baby, God Only Knows, and Warmth of the Sun imo. but then again, there are so many to choose from.
Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: the captain on January 21, 2006, 12:15:42 PM I'll just say these three are my three favorites (with a few alternates included), rather than worry about what best means.
Surfer Girl Wonderful (60s Smile version) Let the Wind Blow With strong competition from Our Sweet Love, All I Wanna Do, Warmth of the Sun and Kiss Me, Baby (as well as those mentioned in the first post and many others) Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: Rocker on January 21, 2006, 12:32:35 PM Don't worry baby
Warmth of the sun God only knows also: Keep an eye on summer Your summer dream Surfer's moon She knows me too well Oh Darlin (great song, miserable production) and, though I hate to say it, many others, that won't come to my mind at the time Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: Reverend Joshua Sloane on January 21, 2006, 12:34:51 PM Deirdre
The Warmth Of The Sun Kiss Me Baby Plus like 60 others that I would put up there. Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: Mark H. on January 21, 2006, 12:35:10 PM Warmth of the Sun
Girls on the Beach Surfer Girl alternate: The Lonely Sea In this selection I defined a ballad is a song for slow dancing...therefore I chose all early lush harmony numbers. There are really too many to pick any three. Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: Susan on January 21, 2006, 12:42:32 PM Warmth of the Sun
Your SUmmer Dream Little Surfer Girl Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: Reverend Joshua Sloane on January 21, 2006, 01:04:49 PM I hope someone says Cabinessence. Though the whole song isn't a typical ballad, I buy into the whole "Sitting in a log cabin with the one you love and talking".
This is also the track I think would've crushed all opposition had the album been released. It's so bizarre and unusual. Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: I. Spaceman on January 21, 2006, 02:21:43 PM Quote "Sitting in a log cabin with the one you love and talking". Then you run the "Iron Horse" on her?

Then you run the "Iron Horse" on her? I introduce her to my new Chinese friend and suggest a little bit of three-way fun. Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: I.

Please Let Me Wonder Warmth Of The Sun Thought about Let Him Run Wild but not sure if it qualifies as a ballad - a lot of BB stuff is sort of slow-mid tempo stuff rather than rockers. Those three wil do nicely though... Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: LaurieBiagini on January 21, 2006, 05:08:30 PM Surfer Girl

Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: I. Spaceman on January 24, 2006, 01:47:38 AM I thought it was God Only Knows, Jack.

All I Wanna Do Baby Blue Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: donald on January 25, 2006, 09:03:07 AM All of the above are excellent choices. It appears that WOTS is in the top 3.
And guess who is given full credit for the Lyrics. I'll nominate a long shot, and say that one of my all time favorites is One More Night Alone written by Billy Hinsche and sung by Carl Wilson on the Youngblood album. Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: Chris Brown on January 25, 2006, 08:02:13 PM Kiss Me Baby

In My Room Please Let Me Wonder Girls on the Beach Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: phirnis on June 22, 2012, 09:24:52 AM I Wanna Pick You Up Let's Put Our Hearts Together All I Wanna Do Great choices! I have to say, I Wanna Pick You Up gets me every single time. The genuine affection expressed in this song is absolutely heartbreaking and that little synth melody that comes in at the start of the 2nd verse has to be one of my favorite Brian moments ever, true unadulterated genius! Edit: Just noticed that post was from 2006. Anyway... :smokin Title: Re: Three Best Beach Boy Ballads Post by: JanBerryFarm on June 22, 2012, 03:45:40 PM Please Let Me Wonder
