Today's song is Add Some Music To Your Day.

Nice song, all the band members sound great, not my favorite Sunflower track but it's certainly well executed. FOUR

Today's song is This Whole World.

An almost two-minute masterpiece! So many key changes, amazing Carl lead, catchy as heck...it's magnificent and magical! FIVE

I'm all for it! Would love to see them if they hit up the east coast!

Today's song is Slip On Through.

Big 5 !!!
Dennis's voice is incredible on this song. What a crackin' way to start the album. Such a rocker! I love the backing vocals and how they weave in and out under Dennis's lead. Shame it was an unsuccessful single. But at that point any single good or bad would've flopped for them. In my opinion this is one of Dennis's best.

Today's song is Sail Plane Song.

Sail Plane Song gets 5 from me. I love it for the same reasons mentioned by rab, and I just really dig psychedelic Brian. I prefer this version over Loop De Loop as well.

Dear Dennis Wilson.
I could be your Son who is a Womanizer and love Corvettes and I was a Swimmer.

Hi Surfer. Sounds like a great ambition. :=)

Digging this grungy 1973 BB version of "River Song" (see comments). Just love that guitar sound! And the frantic percussion at the end----fantastic!

What's this Help Miranda?? Is this what you meant to post?

Heavy!

I was wondering if anyone was gonna say anything about that "womanizer" comment, lol. Surfer probably doesn't understand what it means.

Today's song is A Time to Live In Dreams

Gentle and beautiful, short and sweet. I'm giving it 5!
109  Smiley Smile Stuff / Polls / Re: Discuss Every Beach Boys Song Day By Day on: December 04, 2017, 10:37:52 AM
Today's song is Mona Kana.

I sure would like to hear what this would've sounded like with vocals. I dig the horns and the plunky sounds. Nice arrangement. FOUR

With POB playing on the turntable I raise a glass to the man. Thank you for the amazing music Dennis.
111  Smiley Smile Stuff / Polls / Re: Discuss Every Beach Boys Song Day By Day on: December 03, 2017, 05:38:08 PM
Today's song is We're Together Again.

Great block harmonies and melody. I've always been curious as to who this unrelated Ron Wilson is (writer of this song). Surely it can't be the drummer for the Surfaris? Either way, FIVE.
112  Smiley Smile Stuff / Polls / Re: Discuss Every Beach Boys Song Day By Day on: December 02, 2017, 07:42:50 AM
Today we'll discuss 20/20 album.

I want to give it 5, but I really dislike Nearest Faraway Place. So I gave it 4 (call it 4.5)

Some of my favorite songs by them are on this album. It's one of my favorite LPs. I just wish they could've replaced Bruce's song with something else from that era.
113  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What did the beach boys do better than the beatles? on: December 02, 2017, 07:39:58 AM
The one thing The Beach Boys did better than The Beatles - Christmas music.  

That too! I find Beatle xmas music dreadful.
114  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What did the beach boys do better than the beatles? on: December 02, 2017, 07:09:52 AM
Music

Exactly. And they were better singers too.
115  Smiley Smile Stuff / Polls / Re: Discuss Every Beach Boys Song Day By Day on: December 01, 2017, 03:34:04 AM
Today's song is Cabin Essence.

Breathtaking! Magical! Brilliant beyond brilliant! FIVE!
116  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Re: New James Clarke Five song: 'Rock and Roll (Took Me to the River)' on: November 30, 2017, 01:46:38 PM
I just finished listening to it. Excellent stuff! I dig!
117  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Noel Gallagher hates Brian Wilson on: November 30, 2017, 01:33:10 PM
Noel Gallagher is an overrated wanker anyway.....
118  Smiley Smile Stuff / Polls / Re: Discuss Every Beach Boys Song Day By Day on: November 30, 2017, 08:41:10 AM
Our Prayer = 5

Absolutely stunning! I also heard it first on 20/20 and probably prefer that version as well.
119  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: On first seeing the back cover of Holland on: November 29, 2017, 06:29:09 PM
I've only seen used LP copies of Holland . The first thing I always notice about the back cover is the tape pull where the EP used to be (very hard to find with the EP custom picture sleeve still taped to back cover)
120  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: I heard \ on: November 29, 2017, 06:19:50 PM
I heard the Smile Sessions version of Vega-Tables playing at a restaurant in Bellingham MA called The Beef Barn. I think I was the only person in the place who knew the song.
121  Smiley Smile Stuff / Polls / Re: Discuss Every Beach Boys Song Day By Day on: November 29, 2017, 06:31:24 AM
Today's song is Never Learn Not to Love.

Dennis took a mediocre song and turned it into an awesome song. FIVE!
122  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Al Jardine Solo Concert Series on: November 28, 2017, 07:11:34 PM

     Al has another potential offer for next year too:



Hah! Just as long as Ginn let's Al sing lead on Rise Above!
123  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Al Jardine Solo Concert Series on: November 28, 2017, 04:57:26 PM
Yes!! I hope he comes to the east coast!
124  Smiley Smile Stuff / Polls / Re: Discuss Every Beach Boys Song Day By Day on: November 28, 2017, 06:59:39 AM
Today's song is Time to Get Alone.

My favorite of Brian's waltzes. I consider TTGA to be one of their best songs from the late 60s. Beautiful song. FIVE
125  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Mike Love - Unleash the Love - Due November 17 - w/ 2nd Disc of BB Remakes on: November 27, 2017, 09:25:53 AM
I have some good neighbor friends who are middle eastern and sometimes we play music for each other. So naturally I was curious how they'd feel about Ram Raj so I somewhat reluctantly played it for them and to my surprise they loved it and they thought the curry thing at the end was funny. Considering that Ram Raj is one of the only songs I like on Unleash, I felt better about it when my friend Fuwaad was cool with it (because yes I questioned the curry thing after reading some of the posters opinions on it). So I just wanted to share that with everyone. I can't stand most of Unleash but I'm still digging Ram Raj.
