Title: Beach Boys Survivor #26 Winner: My Diane Post by: pixletwin on March 26, 2014, 12:50:19 PM Welcome back to a new round of BEACH BOYS SURVIVOR. Remember to be respectful of others opinions. Please don't spam the thread with too much opinionating (a little is ok :D ).... and without further ado...
Quote "M.I.U. Album is the twenty-second studio album by The Beach Boys, released on October 2, 1978 on Brother/Reprise. Recorded during a fraught time for the band, only Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Brian Wilson appear consistently throughout the album, with Carl and Dennis Wilson audible on only a few tracks. Produced by Al Jardine and songwriter Ron Altbach, the album's title stems from Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa, where the majority of the album was recorded. Reflecting on the album in 1992, Mike Love noted, "It was too democratic. Everybody coming into it with their song, which is okay. It's like if you have an album and have a hit song on it, and it's very commercially viable. Doesn't it make sense to have another song that would also be commercially viable? And a third and a fourth." As usual vote for your least favorite track. The track with the most votes gets voted off.

MIU isn't bad because thee songs are pure shite, they are simply so bland and soulless. One has to be a fan to be able to tell them apart. They are mostly pop ditties without substance but even the pretentious Winds Of Change feel empty, despite some fine harmonies. It just stinks average because it is average. It doesnt even feel like a Beach Boys album to me because it borders to satiring their early career. Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U.

It's like if you have an album and have a hit song on it, and it's very commercially viable. Doesn't it make sense to have another song that would also be commercially viable? And a third and a fourth." 12 Smilers knew Peggy Sue enough to vote her out. (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/survivor.gif) As usual vote for your least favorite track.

Match Point of Our Love Yup, that's exactly what I'm doing (and have been since the first round!) My Diane just does not fit the mood of the album, and also it's just not a great song in general. And I consider myself a big Dennis fan (writing and vocals). Interestingly enough, Matchpoint is my favorite on the album! I know that voting for My Diane in these first few rounds is futile...there's no way it will be voted off in the first half. In fact, it will probably be win (or at least be top 3). But just playing by the rules...it's my least favorite, and I don't want to vote strategically. Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U.

It's like if you have an album and have a hit song on it, and it's very commercially viable. Doesn't it make sense to have another song that would also be commercially viable? And a third and a fourth." Dom Dom Dom Dom Dom. Dumbeedoobee. Gone. (10) (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/survivor.gif) As usual vote for your least favorite track.

I think American Spring could have done a great gender swap of the track, for some reason I can easily hear a Marilyn vocal singing "saw a foxy boy out on the floor".

Match Point of sh*t. A year or 2 before this steamer was fermented, an Australian group had a massive hit with a song depiciting the end of a love affair using a cricket metaphor (Howzat, 1976). Strange days indeed. Yeah, that's an excellent song. It's by Sherbet, isn't it? Hey pixeltwin, are you doing mid to late 70s odds and ends? Good question.

I'm opposed to it, it's just a Country styled remake album of some of their hits. And is there going to be rounds coinciding with Super Survivor about the songs that was first voted off, so we can also vote for the worst Beach Boys song of all time?

They're just voted off as "Favourite Remaining Track" until there's the final 3 of the worst BB's songs (which I presume will include Summer Of Love). At which point you can vote for the "Least Favourite Song" And instead of the tracks first voted off of SDVII, ASL, and Today!, I say use the songs voted off next, because the ones voted off first aren't actual songs.

I like the last four (five really) about equal, so no vote for me this round. To say, would it just be considered a "spite" vote - cause it would be for "My Diane"...it's going to the final anyway. I would request that you open the comments back up on Survivor #27. Too often it's becoming common for Threads to be closed by the time I catch-up to the end. Are you aware that some of the post Thread Titles have been altered to: Rightful Winner: "Baby Blue"? I voted for the song that I thought was the best of what was left to pick from. I don't do many polls, but if I did you would know my favorite songs from that album are "Full Sail" and "Goin' South" more than "Baby Blue." I think it's one of their best 70's long-players, Much better than M.I.U. - Brian's involvement or not. I don't share a lot of what I think about favorites, because so many are favorites. This is my favorite band, and I don't think much of what they did was sub-standard. Again, open back up the comments on #27. This Is just a Game, if some want to take it so personally - then don't let them have the final word. peace Will Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U.

Quote "M.I.U. Album is the twenty-second studio album by The Beach Boys, released on October 2, 1978 on Brother/Reprise. Recorded during a fraught time for the band, only Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Brian Wilson appear consistently throughout the album, with Carl and Dennis Wilson audible on only a few tracks. Produced by Al Jardine and songwriter Ron Altbach, the album's title stems from Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa, where the majority of the album was recorded. Reflecting on the album in 1992, Mike Love noted, "It was too democratic. Everybody coming into it with their song, which is okay. It's like if you have an album and have a hit song on it, and it's very commercially viable. Doesn't it make sense to have another song that would also be commercially viable? And a third and a fourth." Sweet Sunday Kinda Love. Gone on Monday. (12) (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/survivor.gif) As usual vote for your favorite track.

Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U. Album Post by: Les P on April 14, 2014, 07:01:58 PM This has been a tough round for me, but not for the same reason Sunflower was...
My Diane: heartfelt (if sometimes lazy) lyric, heartfelt vocal. So why has this never grabbed me like it does others? I don't know, but it just seems plodding to me. It will win anyway, and it may well be the BEST song of the three. Matchpoint of Our Love: Nice melody and great Brian vocal that (almost) makes you forgive the clunky tennis metaphors. Lyrically the bridge is as right to the point as "My Diane." This would have fit right in the airwaves in '78 with groups like America and Starbuck. Which makes it unremarkable production-wise. She's Got Rhythm: Brian's opening would-be Frankie Valli vocal still makes me wince all these years later, along with the disco lyrics. But listening to it again, doggone it, it's kind of fun, and the chorus is catchy in the best kind of Brian Wilson way. Of the three, the latter two would be my "favorites," so I'll go with the better vocal... Matchpoint of Our Love Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U. Album Post by: Watch a Cave on April 14, 2014, 07:14:38 PM Never been a huge fan of Matchpoint despite the smooth vocal by Brian. I like it better now then when i first heard it many years ago but it's still not in my top 3.
I really like She's Got Rhythm.. I dig the falsetto and the bit at the end "..never will forget her!" with the harmonies and everything. Very catchy. But.. gotta go with My Diane. Emotional song and powerful performance by Dennis. I'm sure Marilyn would've picked this one as the winner as well. Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U. Album Post by: Emdeeh on April 14, 2014, 07:53:47 PM All my favorites have already been voted off, so I'll go with "She's Got Rhythm."
Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U. Album Post by: Quzi on April 14, 2014, 08:13:48 PM My Diane is a pretty okay song stymied into a plodding borefest because of the production. That rough mix that may or may not be doing the rounds shows it could have been a lot more interesting. Hopefully one day this is given the MiC Rock and Roll Music treatment. That would probably result in the best thing to come out of the M.I.U. sessions, but as it stands, I've gotta vote for Matchpoint.

Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U. Album Post by: alf wiedersehen on April 14, 2014, 10:17:04 PM So, I just listened to M.I.U. Album for the first time.
Not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Anyway, "She's Got Rhythm" is great fun. It's def an ass-shaker. "My Diane" is certainly a good song, and I like that Brian went off in this darker direction. Nice lead by Dennis, too. However, when "Matchpoint of Our Love" came on, something inside me said "Oh, f*ck yes." I will go with my gut: "Matchpoint of Our Love". Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U. Album Post by: shelter on April 14, 2014, 10:18:00 PM She's Got Rhythm. Brian's vocal doesn't sound pretty, but it's still a great, catchy song.
Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U. Album Post by: bluesno1fann on April 14, 2014, 11:57:18 PM I'll admit it now, I love Matchpoint, and I am seriously glad it's in the finals.
But I still prefer My Diane, but honestly not by too much. Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U. Album Post by: ThyRavenAscend on April 15, 2014, 06:05:42 AM She's Got Rhythm is an awesome song to blast while driving on a summer day--can't explain it.
Matchpoint is the one of the most non-Beach-Boys-sounding songs in the canon, and they really pulled off the disco-feel. But my vote must go to one of the only Beach Boys songs that can make me cry: My Diane (I freakin' love M.I.U., even though it has a number of duds on it.) Title: Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U.
