Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What is THE most underrated Brian Wilson song?

Soulful Old Man Sunshine, Mama Says, and Let the Wind Blow.
Yeah, you know? People diss Let the Wind Blow all the time and I like it! People diss LTWB? It's one of the most beautiful things - musically and lyrically - that I've ever heard. The version on the live album is unreal. I can't think of a single song that should get the title of most underrated. The crappiest BB songs are still better than the vast majority of other pop music. But in the spirit of the thread, I'll throw out this underrated gem: Our Car Club. The key changes and the harmonies that they bust out in the second verse! An American Family got me hooked on LTWB. The version with just the vocals, a piano, and the backing harmonies from the film are astounding.

Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Finding Beach Boys Photos?

I've looked around everywhere, but no dice. I'm looking for the photos taken in '66/'67 of the boys in stripe shirts WITH Brian. I know there are some photos of the 5 on the couch, with Brian slouching. As well as a photo of Brian looking out from a door while Dennis is slouched wearing a large hat. If anyone can tell me when, where, and who took the photos, it would be appreciated. And if someone could point out where to find high quality versions of these pictures, It would be awesome. As I would like to have them framed.
Who knows, maybe this can become a new thread for those trying to find specific BB photos.

Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Albums you would change the titles to..

I'm sure of the ones I would change, but don't have many creative ideas as to what I would change them to, so I'll mostly use song titles:
Surf's Up to Long Promised Road, I also like Landlocked due to the theme of the album
Carl & The Passions - So Tough to Make It Good or Cuddle Up
15 Big Ones to It's OK! (gotta use the exclamation point!)
M.I.U. to Our Team (with an album cover featuring prominently the 5 Beach Boys surrounded by spouses, girlfriends, children, supporting musicians, parents, whoever - kind of a Sunflower album cover meets the infamous 1966(?) airport photo)
L.A. Light Album to anything, maybe Baby Blue or Angel Come Home, possibly Good Timin'
Keepin' The Summer Alive to Endless Harmony or Goin' On
Beach Boys 1985 to Getcha Back, California Callin', It's Getting Late, or It's Just A Matter Of Time
That's Why God Made The Radio to Isn't It Time, maybe Summer's Gone but that might be too ominous
Pacific Ocean Blue to Dennis Wilson
Gettin' In Over My Head to Soul Searchin'
So, refresh me on what the airport '66 photo looked like?

Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Settling the "Getcha Back" debate

It's been 30 years since BB85 was released, and for 30 years, it has been debate whether Jeff or Brian sang the falsetto. However, I think we might finally have an answer. Here is a full recording of the Beach Boys on 6/27/85. What is so sweet coal about his concert? Getcha Back is played for the first time live. I'm not sure if other people have heard this, but Jeff takes the falsetto live, and it definitely sounds different than the one on the record. The live recording and album recording were taken within a year, and I highly doubt that Jeff's voice would be strained on the record, but clear live. I think that this proves Brian Wilson is the one who sang the falsetto. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WrT48E18GGw
