I haven't listened to all of The Beach Boys albums (and I doubt I ever will), but I'd like to make a few comments.

-You need to have Kiss Me, Baby on Today!. Great song.
-I think Good Vibrations needs to be included somewhere. Sure, maybe it doesn't really FIT on Smiley Smile but it should be there so it isn't neglected.
-Darlin' is too good of a track to be left off of Wild Honey. Same for Aren't You Glad.
-Where is This Whole World on Sunflower? Or Add Some Music?

I know the whole "top 3" aspect means certain songs can't make the cut (picking 3 favorites from Pet Sounds is nearly impossible for me) but I would have had a few different choices. Not a bad list on the whole, though.  :)

I don't normally do list threads, but I've been thinking about this one since the thread was opened. It's been more difficult than I thought: it was difficult to whittle some albums down to only three tracks ("Today"), whereas with others it was difficult to find three at all! Due to obsessively listening to the Beach Boys in my youth, I find the more, erm, popular material to be damned with overfamiliarity these days. For example, the only track from "Surfin' Safari" I'd really want to listen to is "Cuckoo Clock" (don't laugh), but by sticking to the rule of three tracks, I picked probably the two other most obvious tracks. I've also only just realised that there are only three tracks I ever listen to on "Friends"!

Here's my 2d'orth:

Surfin' Safari: Cuckoo Clock, Surfin', 409
Surfin' USA: Farmer's Daughter, Lana, Lonely Sea
Surfer Girl: Hawaii, Our Car Club, Your Summer Dream
Little Deuce Coupe [not counting duplicates from previous albums]: Ballad of Ole Betsy, Car Crazy Cutie, Custom Machine
Shut Down vol. 2: Fun, Fun, Fun, In The Parking Lot, Pom Pom Play Girl
All Summer Long: We'll Run Away, Drive-In, I Get Around
Today!: Please Let Me Wonder, In The Back Of My Mind, She Knows Me Too Well
Summer Days...: The Girl From New York City, California Girls, Summer Means New Love
Party: Hully Gully, Mountain of Love, Alley Oop
Pet Sounds: Don't Talk..., I'm Waiting For The Day, Pet Sounds
Smiley Smile: Vegetables, Fall Breaks and Back to Winter, Gettin' Hungry
Wild Honey: I'd Love Just Once To See You, Aren't You Glad, A Thing or Two
Friends: Meant For You, Be Here In The Mornin', Busy Doin' Nothin'
20/20: Be With me, All I Want To Do, Time To Get Alone
Sunflower: Slip on Through, This Whole World, It's About Time
Surf's Up: Long Promised Road, Disney Girls (1957), 'Til I Die

While I own the rest of the catalogue, years can pass before parts of it see a turntable or the inside of a CD player, so I'll stop here with one notable exception:
Love You: Good Time,  Johnny Carson, Let Us Go On This Way

It's too bad SIP wasn't released on vinyl.  Then I could pick Hot Fun, the end groove on side one, and the end groove on side two.

It is on vinyl but rare. Mine is a unexpectedly great Koren pressing. I think there may have been one from Australia as well.

I'm stopping at Love You because I've honestly never listened to any of The Beach Boys' albums after 1977 completely, I don't think...

1962    Surfin' Safari: [Ugh... what a bad album. I never listen to it, but since I have to pick I'd go with...] "Country Fair", "409", and "The Shift"
1963    Surfin' USA: title track, "Farmer's Daughter", "Lana"
1963    Surfer Girl: title track, "In My Room", "Hawaii"
1963    Little Deuce Coupe: title track, "Car Crazy Cutie", "No-Go Showboat"
1964    Shut Down Volume 2: "Fun, Fun, Fun", "Don't Worry Baby", "The Warmth Of The Sun"
1964    All Summer Long: "I Get Around", "Little Honda", "Don't Back Down" [This one was tough because now their albums are getting to be, frankly, actually worth listening to!]
1964    The Beach Boys' Christmas Album: "Merry Christmas, Baby", "Christmas Day", "Blue Christmas"
1965    The Beach Boys Today!: "Please Let Me Wonder", "She Knows Me Too Well", "In The Back Of My Mind"
1965    Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!): "California Girls", "Let Him Run Wild", "You're So Good To Me"
1965    Beach Boys' Party!: "Tell Me Why" [better than the original!], "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" [dig Brian letting go on the chorus; the whole thing just rocks], "There's No Other (Like My Baby)"
1966    Pet Sounds: [This one will be a motherfucker!] "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "You Still Believe In Me", "God Only Knows" [This is definitely a 'mood album' for me, so my favourite tracks change accordingly...]
1967    Smiley Smile: [I'm cheating a bit here by excluding the two obvious choices: "Heroes And Villains" and "Good Vibrations" -- it's more fun without them anyway!] "She's Goin' Bald", "Little Pad", "With Me Tonight"
1967    Wild Honey: "Aren't You Glad?", "I'd Love Just Once To See You", "Let The Wind Blow"
1968    Friends: title track, "Little Bird", "Busy Doin' Nothin'"
1969    20/20: "Be With Me", "Time To Get Alone", "Our Prayer"
1970    Sunflower: "This Whole World", "Forever", "Cool, Cool Water"
1971    Surf's Up: "Take A Load Off Your Feet", "A Day In The Life Of A Tree", "'Til I Die"
1972    Carl and the Passions ``So Tough``: "...Mess Of Help...", "Marcella", "All This Is That"
1973    Holland: "Steamboat", "Big Sur", "Trader"
1976    15 Big Ones: "Had To Phone Ya", "Palisades Park", "Back Home"
1977    Love You: [This one is hella hard for me!] "Mona", "I'll Be He's Nice", "Airplane"

Of course, these will probably not hold up too well when I see this list tomorrow!

great lists people!

I enjoy seeing what other people like on all their albums instead of just favorites period. I chose three songs because as someone said some albums it was hard for me to pick 3 let alone 5.

I agree with drbeachboy in saying that some albums are pretty bad, but there is at least one song I could listen to from each album. SIP is tough but I think Lahaina Aloha is a great song with great vocals from carl.

I can't believe people picking 'Be True to Your School' as one of their favourites, I find it to be on of the worst tracks they have in their early portfolio  ::)
To each their own, I guess ;)

Making that list, it really showed how strong my top three songs from Carl and the Passions "So Tough" are. Cuddle Up is my favorite Dennis song, Marcella is a great 70s Beach Boys rock song and Hold On Dear Brother is one of my favorite 70s country songs period.

All three are very underrated songs.

I'm a sucker for verses, and I love the Be True to Your School verses, especially the "on Friday we'll be jacked up on the football game" verse.

If you're counting solo albums:
Pacific Ocean Blue - River Song, Time, Rainbows

Title: Re: Top 3 Songs from each Beach Boys album
Post by: Catbirdman on May 11, 2012, 04:45:56 PM
Surfin’ Safari
1. Chug-A-Lug; 2. Cuckoo Clock; 3. Surfin’ Safari
Additional Note: I have to choose the title track, just because, well, because one must. But the guilty secret is I love this album for all the goofy tracks best.

Surfin’ U.S.A.
1. Shut Down; 2. Finders Keepers; 3. Noble Surfer
Additional Note: Screw it, I’m sticking to my guns this time and not picking the title track. Brian didn’t write the music anyway.

Surfer Girl
1. In My Room; 2. Catch A Wave; 3. Surfer Girl

Little Deuce Coupe
1. Custom Machine; 2. No-Go Showboat; 3. Cherry, Cherry Coupe
Additional Notes: “Shut Down,” “409,” “Little Deuce Coupe,” and “Our Car Club” were all released on previous albums, and thus were ineligible. But in fact, only “Little Deuce Coupe” would have made my top three (third) anyway, believe it or not.

Shut Down, Vol. 2
1. The Warmth Of The Sun; 2. Fun, Fun, Fun; 3. Don’t Worry, Baby

All Summer Long
1. I Get Around; 2. All Summer Long; 3. Little Honda

Beach Boys Concert
1. Let’s Go Trippin’; 2. Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow; 3. Long, Tall Texan

The Beach Boys’ Christmas Album
1. We Three Kings of Orient Are; 2. Little Saint Nick; 3. Blue Christmas
Additional Note: Man, I really love “Santa’s Beard” too.

The Beach Boys Today!
1. Kiss Me, Baby; 2. When I Grow Up (To Be a Man); 3. Please Let Me Wonder

Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)
1. California Girls; 2. Let Him Run Wild; 3. The Girl From New York City

Beach Boys’ Party!
1. Devoted To You; 2. There’s No Other (Like My Baby); 3. Mountain Of Love

Pet Sounds
1. God Only Knows; 2. Wouldn’t It Be Nice; 3. Caroline, No
Additional Notes: That third choice was beyond difficult. For the record, “God Only Knows” is my pick as best-ever Beach Boys song.

Smile
1. Heroes And Villains; 2. Surf’s Up; 3. Cabin Essence
Additional Notes: For lack of a more definitive source, I used the 2011 “album” versions as my eligible pool. Obviously, it was difficult to leave “Good Vibrations” out. There are three others – “Wonderful,” “Our Prayer,” and “Wind Chimes” – that would make my top three on any other album (yes, including Pet Sounds).

Smiley Smile
1. Vegetables; 2. Little Pad; 3. With Me Tonight
Additional Note: “Heroes And Villains” and “Good Vibrations” are ineligible, since in my mind they belong with Smile, both in composition and production. The re-recordings of Smile material, on the other hand, is fair game.

Wild Honey
1. Let The Wind Blow; 2. Wild Honey; 3. Here Comes The Night

Friends
1. Busy Doin’ Nothin’; 2. Friends; 3. Be Here in the Mornin'

20/20
1. I Went To Sleep; 2. Time To Get Alone; 3. I Can Hear Music
Additional Note: “Cabinessence” and “Our Prayer” are ineligible, since in my mind they belong with Smile.

Live In London
1. Aren’t You Glad; 2. Their Hearts Were Full of Spring; 3. Wake The World

Sunflower
1. This Whole World; 2. Forever; 3. All I Wanna Do

Surf’s Up
1. ‘Til I Die; 2. Lookin’ At Tomorrow; 3. Don’t Go Near The Water
Additional Note: the title track is ineligible, since in my mind it belongs with Smile. As for the Carl tracks, yeah, they’re great, but something about the Jack Rieley lyrics bugs me and keeps them from “classic” status in my mind.

Carl and the Passions – “So Tough”
1. You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone; 2. Marcella; 3. He Come Down

Holland
1. California Saga/California; 2. Steamboat; 3. The Trader

The Beach Boys In Concert
1. Let The Wind Blow; 2. Marcella; 3. Heroes And Villains

15 Big Ones
1. Had To Phone Ya; 2. Blueberry Hill; 3. Rock And Roll Music

The Beach Boys Love You
1. Airplane; 2. The Night Was So Young; 3. Solar System

Pacific Ocean Blue
1. River Song; 2. Time; 3. Dreamer

Adult/Child
1. Still I Dream Of It; 2. It’s Over Now; 3. Lines

The Beach Boys
1. Getcha Back; 2. Where I Belong; 3. California Calling

Brian Wilson
1. Melt Away; 2. Rio Grande; 3. Walkin’ The Line
Additional Note: It speaks to the strength of this album that “Love And Mercy” didn’t even make my top three. I felt that as a composition it’s iconic and stellar, but as a production it’s somewhat lacking.

Still Cruisin’
1. Somewhere Near Japan; 2. Kokomo; 3. Still Cruisin’
Additional Note: The three re-releases were ineligible (though clearly superior to the rest).

Sweet Insanity
1. Do You Have Any Regrets?; 2. Thank You; 3. Don't Let Her Know She's An Angel

The Wilson/Paley Sessions
1. Gettin’ In Over My Head; 2. You’re Still A Mystery; 3. Marketplace
Additional Note: If it only had a decent vocal take, “It’s Not Easy Being Me’ would certainly make the cut.

Stars and Stripes Vol. 1
1. The Warmth Of The Sun (Willie Nelson); 2. 409 (Junior Brown); 3. Caroline, No (Timothy B. Schmit)
Additional Notes: Tammy Wynette’s “In My Room” is the only really great track on this album. Shame it isn’t on the album though. God, what a pile of drivel this is. My pick of “Caroline, No” is for the backing vocals only (especially on the tag).

Imagination
1. Cry; 2. Lay Down Burden; 3. Happy Days

Gettin’ In Over My Head
1. Saturday Morning In The City; 2. How Could We Still Be Dancin'?; 3. You’ve Touched Me

Yes. Set aside hours from your day to listen to songs you've never heard on YouTube for the sake of being accurate for a thread that has so much promise.

Small correction - no such album, released or un.  ;D

Looking Back With Love - the crackling fire in my fireplace after I put the album in it, the resulting explosion because there's a gas leak, and the sound of the buzzing of the bulk eraser that wipes out every existing copy of the master.


This album is nothing like as bad as some people try to make out. There are certainly worse BB solo albums out there...

One Good Reason, Paradise Found and On and On and On for example.

I can't believe people picking 'Be True to Your School' as one of their favourites, I find it to be on of the worst tracks they have in their early portfolio  ::)
To each their own, I guess ;)
I actually hate the version with the female backup singers, I think it's so awkwardly done but I really like the version on Endless Summer.

Oh, really? And what's with Cabinessence site then? Because there I saw the title "Landlocked", among the Unreleased albums, so I included this to my list. Maybe, there's something I didn't understand? It'd be great to know. Good morning to you!   

"There never was going to be a Landlocked album. At best, it was the working title for Surf's Up, but a series of coincidences and misunderstandings led to the strongly rooted belief that the tracks listed above comprised Landlocked. Following the August 1970 sessions, engineer Steve Desper compiled a tape of tracks in the can that might be suitable for the second Reprise album (curiously omitting "Seasons In the Sun"). The later discovery of this tape, labeled "2nd Brother album", coupled with the tracks common with Surf's Up caused many to jump to the obvious conclusion, later disproved by the research of Brad Elliott (although as far back as February 1971, during a WLPJ interview, the band stated that the acetate they were playing "isn't an album… it's tracks that might be on an album")."

From a truly excellent website concerned with these things:

'Landlocked'
recorded August 1970 except * January 1969, **March 1969, +November 1969, #January 1970
produced by The Beach Boys except §Alan Jardine, †Dennis Wilson, ØBrian Wilson, ‡Brian & Carl Wilson
Loop De Loop**§ - Susie Cincinnati*§ - San Miguel*† - HELP Is On The Way - Take A Load Off Your Feet#  - Carnival (aka Over The Waves)* - I Just Got My Pay# - Good Time# Ø - Big Sur* - Lady#† - When Girls Get Together+ - Lookin' At Tomorrow - 'Til I Die ‡

Another factor in the longevity of the Landlocked myth was the printing in David Leaf's biography of Brian of an alleged advert for the album, complete with this track listing: "Big 'T' Water/I Was Born In Kentucky/Sally (Was A Gentle Woman)/Sneakin' In The Back Door Of Love/Statue Of A Fool/Mountain High/Long Lonesome Highway/Tie Me To Your Apron Strings/There's Been A Change In Me/Sing That Song Again". Leaf wisely remarked upon the possibility of a hoax, and many BB historians noted the decidedly country slant of all the titles. And so it proved, for the track listing was lifted wholesale from the 1971 MGM album The Best Of Michael Parks. Of the tracks not previously dealt with, "San Miguel" was first released in 1981 on the Ten Years Of Harmony compilation, also turning up, along with "HELP Is On The Way", on the 1993 box set. The version of "Big Sur" here is a completely different recording to the Holland track, and "Lookin' At Tomorrow" and "'Til I Die" were, of course released on Surf's Up.
Possibility of release: none, of course, but it's interesting to compile a tape/burn a CD.

Arse - someone beat me to it.  ;D

I mean, it's the common name of a bootleg, in the same way there was no Beach Boys album named "Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 10". but you can't say UM 10 never existed.

Fun exercise, folks, but the fatal flaw here is clear: the eleventh best song on PET SOUNDS is better than the #1 song on SUMMER IN PARADISE. Thus these poll results, were they to be collated, would reflect that distortion. It's such a huge effort to mount a "scientific" poll to rank all of the songs in order that it's understandable why this shorthand approach gets employed, but what's most interesting in terms of these results is to see what type of idiosyncrasies emerge in the individual ballots.

EDIT/ADD: And, yes, apologies for any "buzzkill"/"killjoy" here...not trying to discourage folks from participating, honest!  ;D

Title: Re: Top 3 Songs from each Beach Boys album

What a stretch it is to come up with a "Top" 3 songs from some of those albums.  In one or two cases a "Top" 1 is almost impossible.  The word top suggests something positive, noteworthy and significant.  It doesn't merely imply any old 3...'if ya have to'.  We'll see how this goes.

With the albums which include a top 6-7-even 8 great choices...our lists will vary.   And an arbitrary 3 song limit is as bull-shitty as picking the least 3 loser choices.   Like when an lp is hard-pressed to give up even 1 choice [2 if there was some luck involved] this is rather an exercise in futility.

So...those omitted are omitted on purpose.  'Dog Turd Stew' is never gonna make it to the menu.

Surfin' USA.  Farmer's Daughter, The Lonely Sea, Surfin' USA
Surfer Girl.  In My Room, Surfer Girl, Catch a Wave
Little Deuce Coupe.  Ballad of Ole Betsy, Spirit of America, No Go Showboat
Shut Down 2.  Fun x 3, Don't Worry Baby, Warmth of the Sun, Keep an Eye on Summer
All Summer Long.  All Summer Long, Hushabye, Do You Remember, Girls on the Beach
Xmas.  Little St. Nick, Frosty
Today.  Don't Hurt My Little Sister, Please Let Me Wonder, Kiss Me baby
Summer Daze.   California Girls, Let Him Run Wild, Salt Lake City
Party.  You've Gotta Hide Your Love Away, Devoted to You, There's No Other
Pet Sounds.  Everything except Caroline No and the 2 instrumentals
SMiLE.  Cabinessence, Surf's Up, Our Prayer/Gee/Heroes and Villains
Smiley Smile.   Good Vibrations, Heroes and Villains
Wild Honey.  Country Air, Let the Wind Blow, Here Comes the Night [original version ONLY]
Friends.  Everything but Diamond Head and Transcendental Meditation
20/20.  Everything except Bluebirds Over the Mountain and that piano thing.
Sunflower.  I'm good with all of it although Cool Cool Water is too long.
Surf's Up.  All good except Student Demonstration Time and the voice on 'Tree'.  No wonder it was dying.
Carl/So Tough.  All This Is That, Marcella, He Come Down
Holland.  Only With You, Trader, Sail on Sailor
15 Biguns.  Had to Phone Ya, Palisades Park, It's OK
MIU.  Pitter Patter, Peggy Sue, Kona Coast
L.A.  Good Timin', Full Sail
Keepin' the Summer Alive.  Livin' With a Heartache, Sunshine, Goin' On
Beach Boys.  It's Getting Late, California Calling, Getcha Back
Still Cruisn'.  Somewhere Near Japan
Stars and Stripes.  Warmth of the Sun
TWGMTR.  Think About the Days, Pacific Coast Highway, Summer's Gone

They did better than I thought they would.  2 hit singles looking for a home saved Smiley Smile from the sCRAP heap.  A couple of others didn't make it.  Only a couple had 1 song make it [for me]. And...there were lots with WAY more than a mere 3 'top' songs.  Guess I forgot ... I'm a fan.
