Here Today is one of Mike's best vocal performances. Total five.

As released, Lucky Old Sun. But if I play my version of the TWGMTR tracklist, I prefer that. 

What's your version?

So I've been looking at Our Favorite Recordings (For Collectors Only).

It has a few obscure guilty pleasure tracks. Like Rock'n'Roll To The Rescue and Problem Child. However the quality is a little hit or miss. Some tracks sound way too compressed and some have audible glitches. I know it's a bootleg, so I can't expect much.

Is this the best source for songs like this?

The 40th anniversary treatment for Wild Honey was a really nice surprise. I can see Friends, 20/20 and Sunflower getting the same treatment (maybe even everything up to Love You).

However what about the less revered albums? For example; do we see MIU, LA Light and KTSA getting anniversary editions with lots of bonus tracks? I know I'd buy them! What about you guys?

My dude! You're talented as heck!

Went through your channel and I also really dig your cover of I Went To Sleep. Very nice.

I Know 5 Is The Answer...

Sloop John might be my least favorite song on Pet Sounds but I really appreciate it for how much is going on there musically.

I actually like listening to Brian do this song when he's older. He's really aged into verses like "I wanna go home... Let me go home...".

I gave this one a 4. Great song, but I'm waiting for the day that I like the rest of this song as much as it's incredible ending.

Not sure if this is pertinent to your weird investigation but I thought I'd share an observation.

Al Jardine went through a brief but intense obsession with bells as an instrument between 1978 and 1979. They're all over MIU (which he produced) and Lady Linda. Then all of a sudden BOOM, Santa Ana Winds, no bells...

What was he trying to tell us? Ask not for whom the bell tolls?

Precisely, and Sal was also trying to tell us with the bells that the original Al was secretly buried behind Worthington Dodge on Bell-flower Blvd. in L.A. In its goofy commercials, Cal (!) Worthington always a wild animal by his side which he referred to as "my dog Spot", an obvious allusion to Pet Sounds.

The bells were utilized the most in 1978... 78...

7... The number of letters in Jardine.

8... The number of letters in the word REPLACED!

Say it isn't so!

Took me awhile, but I've finally chosen my favorite song from every classic album the lads ever made. Peace & love, peace & love.

Please Please Me: Do You Want to Know a Secret
Something New: Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand
The Early Beatles: Twist and Shout
Post Card: Inch Worm
20 Greatest Hits: Yellow Submarine
The Number Ones: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Starpeace: I Love You, Earth
Ringo Rama: Trippin' On My Own Tears
Karaoke: 100 Hits Presents 60's: Hey Jude
The Beatles - Rock Band: Yellow Submarine

I think you forgot a few:
In the Beginning (circa 1960): My Bonnie
Hey Jude: I Should Have Known Better
Straight Up: Day After Day
Holly Days: Take Your Time
Rarities: Misery
The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles Hits: All My Loving
Billy Sullivan Plays the Beatles: Paperback Writer/Rain

How could I forget The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles Hits? Such a solid album, not to mention the last time Lennon and McCartney really worked well together.

Don't even talk about giving this song anything less than a five.

I have a strange soft spot for MIU. I know it's not great but I still end up listening to it a lot as a curiosity. Songs and production aside, what's so distinctive about it is the lineup. Carl and Dennis had minimal to no involvement and we got a Beach Boys album where the unlikely team of Al, Mike, and Brian do all the heavy-lifting.

In an alternate reality where this era made Carl and Dennis quit the band for good, what do you think would have happened with the other three guys at the helm in 1978 onward...?

This is cool!

They went on a couple other times:

That's beautiful man, thanks!. You should start an All American Bandstand Appearances thread.

It's cool to watch them change through the ages while Dick Clark pretty much stays the same!

I'm going to put my butt on the line here. I think that Brian and Scott made a good collaboration team. If Midnight's Another Day(and most of the TLOS album) is a good indication, then he brought out the best of Brian. When the news about Scott surfaced I was a bit bummed out because I knew they would never work again. You may now commence with the rock throwing, and your regularly scheduled sh*t storm. 

What a bummer. This is why they say it's better not to know your heroes. I'd extend that to artists in general. While I'd hesitate to ever praise Scott as a person I do think he should be recognized for his musical contributions.

Took me awhile, but I've finally chosen my favorite song from every classic album the lads ever made. Peace & love, peace & love.

That's Not Me. Took a look at this song and said that's pretty good. 5.

Saw this on Facebook today and found it so heartwarming and incredible that Brian's music even reaches that part of the world.  I hope her wish comes true.  https://www.facebook.com/officialbrianwilson/videos/10155698378922241/

Not to mention that awesome guitar!

Just based on this brief clip, I could listen to Carl talk for hours. His gentle voice is just so calming. It's almost like a Bob Ross type of effect.  I think Carl's voice and demeanor could induce ASMR in people who are capable of feeling it.

Great clip, thanks so much for sharing.

Heck yeah. I've always thought this too. You know Carl's ASMR skills are also showcased in Smiley Smile's Wonderful.

I've been playing this a lot from our Apple TV and my girlfriend says it's her favorite Beach Boys album now. She particularly likes I Was Made To Love Her.

It's hugely satisfying for me because I've never tried to get her into this band. It's just happening naturally.

Thanks all! Sounds like I'm getting Pet Projects.

My favorite Pink Floyd era was when Syd Barrett and David Gilmour were kind-of-sort-of in the band at the same time. Five members is better than four as proven by The Beach Boys. Can you imagine the 15 Big Ones cover with four guys...? Doesn't work. Given this, I tune out on Pink Floyd after that period. Hope I didn't miss anything.

Do Mike & The Boys still do All This Is That? I have a memory of seeing them in 2015 and hearing that but I could just be remembering the 2012 reunion shows.

Match point is my new favorite member!

Thanks dude!

An interview from the Beach Boy's 1979 American Bandstand appearance was recently posted on YouTube. Pretty cool stuff.

Mike is being a weeaboo goofball and everyone else is being way too humble. Would love to see the whole episode.
