Title: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 Winner: Brian Wilson's "Melt Away" Post by: pixletwin on August 18, 2014, 12:33:16 PM (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8f/Brian_Wilson_%28Brian_Wilson_album_-_cover_art%29.jpg) Quote Brian Wilson is the eponymous debut solo album by Brian Wilson released in July 1988 on Sire Records. Working with an array of collaborators including his therapist Eugene Landy, Wilson accordingly themed the album around love and spirituality exemplified by its lead single "Love and Mercy". Although the album's sessions were contentious, where some participants demanded a progressive artistic statement versus conventional pop songs, nearly a quarter of the LP is devoted to "Rio Grande", a piece which was intended to rekindle Wilson's experimental drive from the mid 1960s and early 1970s. It was voted one of the best albums of 1988 by NME, and as part of its acclaim, garnered the nickname "Pet Sounds '88" among some critics.Brian Wilson has since been reissued on several different formats with bonus tracks, and cited by some as a standout in Wilson's solo oeuvre. The album is on Spotify! Vote for your LEAST FAVORITE TRACK!!! Tally on August 20 Love and Mercy Walkin' the Line Melt Away Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long Little Children One for the Boys There's So Many Night Time Let it Shine Meet Me in My Dreams Tonight Rio Grande Walkin' The Line. I can't stand Brian's vocals on this one. Probably the only BW song (officially released) that is embarrassing to listen to.

I struggled for many years with Walkin' The Line; especially the opening arrangement of each verse (Iiiiii walk the liiine.., and that harmonica or whatever lick) but over the years I've grown to quite enjoy it.

Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: donald on August 19, 2014, 01:13:35 PM Probably Night Time followed by little children.
I say Night Time because I have such unpleasant memories of Brian singing it on that Dick Clark special with Brian and Frankie Valli. Dr. Landy's Frankenstein. Shudder.

Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: The Shift on August 20, 2014, 03:55:17 PM One For The Boys.
To answer the question raised by "Unreleased Backgrounds", back in 88, while I loved the fact that I could hold Brian Wilson's first solo LP in my hand, which seemed like a miracle, One For The Boys was a reminder that the Beach Boys, together, harmonising under Brian's direction, was always going to have been better. It was a reminder of what coulda been, if you like. I love walls of Broan-type tracks but this seemed under-realised, with empty pauses that should have been packed with voices. Seemed more like backing vocals, lacking instruments and a lead.

All of these will be gone soon, and we will get to the heart of the record. Have said it before, but my original feelings when I heard this for the first time were why, why didn't he do this with the Beach Boys. It could have been so much better. As John says, "One for the Boys" was a missed opportunity. It's no "Passin' By" - that's for sure. My vote:
"One for The Boys" Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Rocky Raccoon on August 21, 2014, 10:38:43 PM I absolutely love "One for the Boys," y'all are crazy. I'm going to go with "Little Children."

Working with an array of collaborators including his therapist Eugene Landy, Wilson accordingly themed the album around love and spirituality exemplified by its lead single "Love and Mercy". Although the album's sessions were contentious, where some participants demanded a progressive artistic statement versus conventional pop songs, nearly a quarter of the LP is devoted to "Rio Grande", a piece which was intended to rekindle Wilson's experimental drive from the mid 1960s and early 1970s. It was voted one of the best albums of 1988 by NME, and as part of its acclaim, garnered the nickname "Pet Sounds '88" among some critics.Brian Wilson has since been reissued on several different formats with bonus tracks, and cited by some as a standout in Wilson's solo oeuvre.

Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Matt H on September 05, 2014, 04:22:19 AM I can't believe "Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight" is gone. I will vote for "Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long" this round.

Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Catbirdman on September 05, 2014, 10:04:18 AM Although L&M would get my vote, to provide further protection for the best song and recording of Brian's entire solo career (which of course is the sublime "Melt Away"), I will vote for:
Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Domino on September 05, 2014, 10:24:26 AM Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: feelsflow on September 05, 2014, 11:15:48 AM "Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long"

Working with an array of collaborators including his therapist Eugene Landy, Wilson accordingly themed the album around love and spirituality exemplified by its lead single "Love and Mercy". Although the album's sessions were contentious, where some participants demanded a progressive artistic statement versus conventional pop songs, nearly a quarter of the LP is devoted to "Rio Grande", a piece which was intended to rekindle Wilson's experimental drive from the mid 1960s and early 1970s. It was voted one of the best albums of 1988 by NME, and as part of its acclaim, garnered the nickname "Pet Sounds '88" among some critics.Brian Wilson has since been reissued on several different formats with bonus tracks, and cited by some as a standout in Wilson's solo oeuvre. The album is on Spotify! Baby, you were around too long. (16) (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/survivor.gif) FINAL THREE!!! Vote for your FAVORITE TRACK!!! Tally on September 10th Love and Mercy Melt Away Rio Grande Round#1 - Night Time August 20 Round#2 - Walkin' the Line August 22 Round#3 - Little Children August 24 Round#4 - One for the Boys August 26 Round#5 - Let it Shine August 30 Round#6 - There's So Many Round#7 - Meet Me in My Dreams Tonight September 4 Round#8 - Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long September 8 Rio Grande is great n all... but I do feel that it is just a wee bit overrated. Love And Mercy is great, but the slick production on this version just kills it for me (in a bad way). My favorite has to be Melt Away. I remember hearing this song for the first time and thinking "Hey Brian is still in there somewhere!" Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Ovi on September 08, 2014, 08:38:25 AM Melt Away!
Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: drbeachboy on September 08, 2014, 08:45:18 AM Melt Away, which will win, has never been my cup of tea. Always skip it.
Rio Grande has it's moments like Night Bloomin' Jasmine, but yeah, a bit overrated. So, Love and Mercy is my pick, though Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight & Baby, Let Your Hair Grow Long are by a wide margin, my two favorite tracks.

Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Emdeeh on September 08, 2014, 08:51:41 AM Easy one for me: "Rio Grande"
Not a fan of L&M (like the concept, but not the song) Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Fall Breaks on September 08, 2014, 09:01:56 AM Melt Away
Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: beacharg on September 08, 2014, 09:11:39 AM I love the acapella chorus part of L&M, but I prefer Melt Away as a whole song.
My choice is MA. Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: TimeToGetAlone on September 08, 2014, 09:15:08 AM Melt Away. All three remaining are great.

And it really isn't close. Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Matt H on September 08, 2014, 09:47:20 AM Rio Grande
Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Smilin Ed H on September 08, 2014, 09:50:44 AM Rio Grande
Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Les P on September 08, 2014, 10:48:15 AM Edit: Changed from Melt Away to Rio Grande. I just listened to RG again and as feelsflow reminded me, I re-experienced a little of the initial thrill, delight and awe I felt in 1988 hearing it for the first time.
It could be Melt Away on another day. Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: wantsomecorn on September 08, 2014, 12:33:19 PM Love and Mercy

Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: rogerlancelot on September 08, 2014, 02:07:51 PM "Melt Away" is my favorite with "Rio Grande" soooo close behind it.

Blew me away when i bought the album.. especially the ending. Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: The Shift on September 08, 2014, 02:41:27 PM Rio Grande.
Don't think of it as a song, but a beautiful interwoven series of linked chants. Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: The Cincinnati Kid on September 08, 2014, 02:42:48 PM Love and Mercy

Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: Eric Aniversario on September 08, 2014, 10:40:36 PM Rio Grande, by a wide margin for me.
Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: The Shift on September 08, 2014, 10:42:42 PM Would be unusual if "Rio Grande" made it to finals, otherwise, no, I'm voting for "Love & Mercy". But this IS the finals… Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: feelsflow on September 09, 2014, 11:51:25 AM These are the three I figured would be the final. My favorites have changed many times over the years. In fact when I played the record after voting to off "There's So Many" last week, I hoped that would make the final. "There's So Many" is a great performance of a great song. If that had made it, that would be my vote.
I'm not so sure this performance of "Love and Mercy" belongs here, though the song does. "Melt Away" is such a heart-tugger, but I'm going to go with the most ambitious track: "Rio Grande" is what everybody was hoping for in 1988, a SMiLE like epic. Title: Re: Beach Boys Solo Survivor #6 FINAL THREE: Brian Wilson's Brian Wilson Post by: alf wiedersehen on September 09, 2014, 11:58:46 AM Going to hop in for the first time for these solo rounds and vote for my favorite Brian solo song: "Melt Away".
