Title: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: Wata on May 24, 2017, 09:06:33 PM Hi, everyone. Here's another poll on lead vocals by Al. Which are your favorites?
Looking forward to seeing your opinions. Again, thanks to RangeRover for the thread idea. Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 24, 2017, 10:21:50 PM "I Know There's An Answer" wouldn't be cool without Al's vocals. Never liked Brian's voice here & Mike sings very short to care. Smb. - the OP? - picked "Then I Kissed Her" - great choice! I really hate girl group sound, Al-sung version is definitive. Ditto "The Times They Are A-Changin'" about which many complain but they don't do it in regards Al's performance but the "party" noises. So they must've liked it. "Lady Lynda" showcased his mellowing. "The TM Song" - Al at his grooviest. :3d
Can "Runaway", "Out In The Country", "Lady Liberty", "On Broadway" be added? Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: JK on May 25, 2017, 02:43:56 AM Slight dilemma here. My choice would be "Tell Me Why"----from NPP. Whereas the "Tell Me Why" on the list is clearly from Party!.
Al's entry on the BW song brings tears to my eyes. A bit like when Freddie takes over from Brian May on "Who Wants To Live Forever"... Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 25, 2017, 04:08:32 AM Duh. This is BBs list. Solo works don't count, don't you see? Isn't there Al vocal you like in BBs?
Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: JK on May 25, 2017, 04:29:40 AM Duh. This is BBs list. Solo works don't count, don't you see? Isn't there Al vocal you like in BBs? I don't see BB anywhere. Still, if it makes you happy I'll vote for the second track on side two of Surf's Up, my favourite BB album. :=) Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 25, 2017, 04:36:54 AM "Help Me Rhonda" is No.1 due to Al's terrific lead vocal! :3d
Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: Scaroline No on May 25, 2017, 06:02:33 AM Just one vote?! I wish we could have 4 or 5, or something, this is pretty much impossible :P
I voted for the SDSN version of Rhonda, it's the most no-brainery one. My other choices would be: Cotton Fields (20/20) Take A Load Off Your Feet Pitter Patter Loop De Loop From There to Back Again Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: Wata on May 25, 2017, 06:05:18 AM "I Know There's An Answer" wouldn't be cool without Al's vocals.

Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: bringahorseinhere? on May 25, 2017, 06:25:22 AM c'mon Watamushi!! how could you not remember everything Al has sung? (hahaha!)
you are great at these, keep up your great work. I love your polls. they are fresh, new and exciting. well done my friend. Al has done some wonderful vocals that are hard to dismiss, but I did vote for 'then I kissed' her'. I can't hear in my mind anybody else singing it. kind of like Mike singin 'California Girls' or Carl on 'God Only Knows'. Alan owns this. Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: NOLA BB Fan on May 25, 2017, 06:50:43 AM Then I Kissed Her is great.
My favorite Al vocals are from concerts when he sang H & V. Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 25, 2017, 07:26:25 AM you are great at these, keep up your great work. I love your polls. Yes indeed but to be fair, this thread is MY idea. :police:they are fresh, new and exciting. That said, you're very right in this bit: Quote Al has done some wonderful vocals that are hard to dismiss, but I did vote for 'then I kissed' her'. I can't hear in my mind anybody else singing it. kind of like Mike singin 'California Girls' or Carl on 'God Only Knows'. Alan owns this. Happy to see some fans appreciate "Then I Kissed Her" by Al, NOT the boring girl group stuff. He DOES own it. :3d Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 25, 2017, 07:36:26 AM Then I Kissed Her is great. Did you pick song in this poll?My favorite Al vocals are from concerts when he sang H & V.

Did you pick song in this poll?My favorite Al vocals are from concerts when he sang H & V. Yes I clicked on Then I Kissed Her Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: Jay on May 25, 2017, 01:31:46 PM "I Know There's An Answer" wouldn't be cool without Al's vocals.

Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 25, 2017, 04:19:57 PM Yes I clicked on Then I Kissed Her Ah, it was you. Figured it's bringahorseinhere?'s vote ("I did vote for 'then I kissed' her'").Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: bluesno1fann on May 25, 2017, 05:41:07 PM Went with Lady Lynda, though isn't Make It Big a Carl song?
Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 25, 2017, 05:53:52 PM "Make It Big" features Carl, Mike, Al & Brian. Since Al sings there, "Make It Big" counts as "vocals by Al Jardine".
Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: Jay on May 25, 2017, 07:45:01 PM I screwed up my vote. I voted for Lady Lynda and then instantly remembered From There To Back Again.
Title: Re: Favorite Lead Vocals by Al Jardine Post by: Jay on May 27, 2017, 06:38:31 PM Is it possible to fix my vote?
