I made a chart that basically does this about a month ago, although it goes up to 10. And yes, I'm bad at averages.

This is so awesome.  I am an engineer, so charts about my favorite band send a tingle up my leg 

SURF'S UP = PUSS FUR

Mike Love = ME VILE, OK?

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm "ashamed", but I liked the Cutting Crew album Broadcast in '86 and Play Deep by The Outfield in '85.    
Oh, and also really liked the Naked Eyes album from '83 - synth pop guilty pleasure.   

I love the Play Deep Album!

I can identify only 9 songs from 1962-1985 that have the following characteristics:

 - One Lead Singer
 - No Harmony vocals by others (double or multi tracking the lead vocal is allowed)
 - No background harmonies, counter melodies, oohhs, ahhs, etc. (not even the slightest additional vocals other than the lead singer are allowed)
 

How do background vocals by the lead singer count?

I wouldn't count them, but then there's the situation of Surfer Moon, which is Brian harmonizing with himself... a grey area!

I thought I read on here that Marilyn sang on "Busy Doin' Nothin'".

Indeed you did.

Thank you so much.  So, I will cross off Busy Doin' Nothin' and Add Blue Christmas.

Does the unreleased "4th of July" count?

Oh man, if I started counting unreleased stuff this list would be a heckuva lot longer!

Blue Christmas, 1964, Brian

Thank You!

Oddly, all of the songs I can identify are from the 1960's and only the Wilson brothers get the spotlight.  Please correct me if I have forgotten anything or made a mistake:

Your Summer Dream, 1963, Brian
In the Back of My Mind, 1965, Dennis
Girl Don't Tell Me, 1965, Carl
Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder), 1966, Brian
Caroline, No, 1966, Brian
I'd Love Just Once to See You, 1967, Brian
How She Boogalooed It, 1967, Carl
Be Still, 1968, Dennis
Busy Doin' Nothing, 1968, Brian

Why is Brian depicted as a handyman with tools?

Foreigner
Kansas
Winger
Poison

If Mike Love articles can spark so many responses, I can only imagine the number of pages a future "Mike Love Book Released" thread will generate.  The website owners may have to invest in new servers.

I've always loved the coda to MMT - it sounds very SMiLE-esque.

I wish the Beatles would have explored more of this instrumental type of music during their pscychadelic period.

Are there any other Beatles' song fragments or ideas that you wish they would have explored more fully?

I like this one very much:

Brian's voice is fantastic during this 2012 performance.  His voice during the middle section of Surfer Girl (around 1:08) is amazingly close to his 60's voice.

I looked closely and it appears that Foskett is NOT doubling him...

Very sad news. The next few years are going to be rough for fans like me whose favorite music came from that generation. 

As a matter of fact, I heard two Beach Boys songs in a row on Saturday, and knowing that no one in the group has a birthday coming up, I searched the net to make sure everyone was ok. Turns out that it was just a twofer.

Very well said.

Peter,

Words cannot adequately express the appreciation I feel for your vital role in helping Brian.  Your concern and dedication to Brian's health, as well as your humbleness while being such an important factor in his remarkable improvement is admirable.  You have my utmost respect.

Is there any particular reason why it has been more than 10 years since you have seen Brian?

The backing track of Let Him Run Wild is so sublime and mesmerizing.

"Tell Me What You See". Remove "besides the singles" & it's still my favorite Beatles song. John & Paul sound ace together. Also, I like friendly vibe I get from the song.
Hon. mention: "Come and Get It".

Tell Me What You See is a very overlooked Beatles song.  Good stuff.

Agree about Tell Me What You See.  I also like You're Going to Lose That Girl from the same album.

Good thoughts on Journey and Van Halen.

Sadly, my hopes of Gary Richrath rejoining REO Speedwagon were dashed when he passed away last year.

In light of the G-n-R thread, what other bands do you feel should put differences aside and have all remaining members get together for a tour, album, etc?

I'd like to see Dennis DeYoung rejoin Styx.

The "radio edit" of Sweet Child O Mine cuts short one of the greatest guitar solos in history.

Also the radio edit of My Sharona cuts short another incredible guitar solo.
