Just joined after lurking on the forum for a long time. Been a Beach Boys fan since 8th grade, 1972. First album bought was Best of the Beach Boys Vol.2 which was the first album I could find that contained "I get Around", a song I fell in love with after hearing it on the radio. I thought I was the only "geek" who tinkered with album lineups until I read some of the postings here. Glad to see I'm not alone!  My latest concoction is a revamped "Surf's Up". My lineup goes: Don't Go Near the Water; Long Promised Road; Lady; Disney Girls; Student Demonstration Time; All I Wanna Do; Cuddle Up; Big Sur (Landlocked version); Feel Flows; Lookin' At Tomorrow; Wouldn't It Be Nice to Live Again; Till I Die; Surf's Up(Smile Sessions Version). I think it makes a much better flowing album. I know a lot of folks here hate SDT, but I like it and think it a pretty good rocker. The lyrics do get a little ackward at times. I'm looking forward to continued discussions with fellow Beach Boys fans!

Just joined after lurking on the board for years. Been a BB fan since 8th grade (1972) when I first heard "I Get Around" on the radio and was hooked. Bought my first album, Best of the Beach Boys Vol.2 get that song. I used to think I was the only "geek" who liked to tinker with album lineups, but now see that there are others like me. My most recent concoction is a new track lineup for Surf's Up:

Don't Go Near the Water
Long Promised Road
Lady
Disney Girls
Student Demonstration Time ( I know, most folks here hate it, but I like it and thinks its a good rocker, despite ackward lyrics)
All I Wanna Do
Cuddle Up
Big Sur (Landlocked version)
Feel Flows
Lookin' At Tomorrow
Wouldn't it be Nice to Live Again
Till I Die
Surf's Up (Smile sessions version)

I also recently put together a compilation of songs the BB have covered. I call it "The Beach Boys-Under the Covers!)
I am looking forward to continued discussions with my fellow BB fans!

No need to use quotes. Shame is a good thing.

I operate entirely on shame and paranoia. It shows doesn't it.

An Al Jardine song over "Tree"? You might wanna rethink that.

you are now REALLY an official board member with this first questioning of your taste and judgment. :p

I have thick skin when my taste is called in question! "Tree" was not included in my revamped Surf's Up lineup because Reilly and Parks' vocals just don't do it for me. If Brian had sung it I might have a different view of it. I welcome the different points of view and personal tastes because "that which unites us(love of the BB) is greater than that which divides us"

Actually, I'm far from being a "treehugger", but I seldom discuss politics or religion. I do have opinions in these matters, just don't like to share them on anonymous discussion forums. I don't want to ruin anyone's "fun, fun, fun"!

Knowing bgas, I'm certain in this case 'treehugger' was a pun, because of the song's title.

At least, that's how I took it :lol

Welcome WickedWaters! I like the tracklist, but yeah, I personally could do without SDT ;D
