It's a great, rockin' half hour of surfin' tunes. Almost as good as Surfin' USA (the album).

or do you have a gene that exclude you from enjoying such a soul wrenching classic by Dennis Wilson? Title: Re: Surfin' 'Round the World (BJ solo) Post by: I. Spaceman on February 14, 2006, 06:56:46 PM I heard it when it came out. Loved it since then.
I'm just more of a primal rock man. Title: Re: Surfin' 'Round the World (BJ solo) Post by: theeponymuseudonym on February 14, 2006, 07:00:35 PM cool daddy, cool

...My image of you is totally blown. You just bury your head in the sand and wait for your fucking prom. Title: Re: Surfin' 'Round the World (BJ solo) Post by: musicismylife101 on June 27, 2012, 05:19:22 PM It's a lighthearted album. Sounds dated but it's not necessarily a bad thing. The amount of instrumentals might turn some people off but I'm fine with it. Not for a causal listener though. Maksha At Midnight is the best track on the album.
Title: Re: Surfin' 'Round the World (Bruce Johnston) Post by: Mr. Wilson on November 29, 2013, 04:35:23 PM 2/5.. Well this is better than Pajama party at least so Bruce is makin headway.. I think his best stuff is things he did with Ripchords and Bruce + Terry.. There is more effort in those recordings than this stuff... If ya want instrumental surf music go find The Challengers or The Surfaris or Ventures + Dick Dale.. Or all those 1 hit wonders heck go find Duane Eddy or Sandy Nelson.. :banana
