Smiley Smile

Friends, 20/20 is too much of a hodge-podge

Love You, because as good as POB is I find myself listening to tracks off of LY a lot more.

All Summer Long, easily.

These earlier albums are so hard for me. They are just TOO similar.

Bruce certainly knew how to play that thing. So who knows.. (but yeah, I guess it's unlikely).

Did someone mention Bruce Johnston playing bass?

To be perfectly honest, I have a higher tolerance for Disco than most people around here, which is probably why I enjoy the disco Here Comes The Night.
Anyway, I actually quite liked Pipeline. Bruce looks adorable on the bass in that video 

Yeah I really like that song as well. I don't see why so many people seem to hate on it.

Summer of Love covered in 12 different styles

This is one thing I've always imagined.  Certain songs, while possibly good or even perfect for its respective wra, have a what could have been feel to it had it been recorded in a different period.  Now I'm of the opinion that just about anything would sound great in a Pet Sounds sheen, but certain songs just seem like they would have been divine in another period and I can almost imagine.

A few that come to mind that I would have loved to hear...

Let's Put Our Hearts Together circa Pet Sounds
You're Still A Mystery circa Today!
Goin' On circa Sunflower
I Know There's An Answer circa Love You
She's Got Rhythm circa Surfer Girl

I can definitely imagine she's got rhythm as a mid-tempo ballad.

Let Him Run Wild with Brian's Love You Era vocals would be very good.
I can imagine the farty synths during the verse and more wobbly sounding ones during the chorus with the horns.

Girl Don't Tell Me would translate great with 20/20 Carl vocals

Hushabye with Al singing Mike's lead circa M.I.U. (totally hearing Lady Lynda)

Kona Coast to be be released in '63 on Surfer Girl

Slip On Through with Blondie in '72

All I Wanna Do around Smiley Smile era so it would be a little more experimental.



That's all I got for now

If they told Dennis how old he lived to be he would probably just party even more knowing he didn't have much time left!

don't talk
let's go away for awhile
i'm waiting for the day

Phoenix - trying to be cool

Because Mike lost his tambourine and Dennis started kicking all the drums off of the studio so no one could control them.

Honestly I don't think I have heard any of these songs... I'm such a bad fan.

my vote is for Busy Doin Nothin

Not sure how it made it this far

Everyone on this forum always talks about how the beach boys went downhill after endless summer.

A lot of people seem to think that its because endless summer came out.

I think the dudes were running out of creative juice.

wrong thread

Yea the 1st link the song is 1 1/2 minutes longer and the 2nd link the intro is different.. Wonder how Al got the BB to do the video because it is on Al"s solo lp.. Excellent track..  Very nice ecology song Al..!

I think it's because it was for a charity.

Our prayer

I bet Al probably felt a little stifled when he couldn't do as many folk / americana songs as he wants to.

Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey

I personally never heard what people were talking about when they said AC reminded them of the beach boys until I listened to Time To Get Alone recently.
It made me like the song a lot more.
