"Convalescence (incorporating "Rest Home on the Range")"
"Add Some Muslix to Your Day"
"Catheter Crazy Cutie"
"Crotchety Love vs. Sedated Wilson"
"Custom Oxygen Machine"
"Endless Agony"
"H.O.S.P.I.C.E is on its Way"
"Help Me I've Fallen (and I Can Get Up)"
"I Went to Sleep/Forever" medley
"I've Become My Ol' Man"
"Hot Flashes in the Summertime"
"Livin' with a Heart Monitor"
"Passing On"

Just remembered that "Dancin' the night away" is also still there with some Carl vocals. That "somewhere near Malibu"-part is breathtaking imo.

And again: can anyone explain where and what exactly Brian said about Joe Thomas ?

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

No only Carl vocals. It also has some killer guitar work from him

the whole "everybody brings a few of their best songs" approach doesn't particularly appeal to me.
It's been the approach from 20/20 onwards LOL

Point taken, and that was all well and good all members were alive, but this time around there's no Carl or Dennis to contribute good material (the latter especially), and I don't think I've heard Al or Bruce put out any decent original material in quite awhile.  So who does that leave...

If you want a good self-contained Beach Boys album with the best quality songwriting, I really think that Mike and Brian are the only legitimate shot we've got.

So, in other words, it's business as usual?  Oh that really sucks!  You mean all we have left is maybe the second or third best songwriting team of all time?  Damn I hate it when that happens. 

Second or third best of all time. You're not serious! I'd love to know what your first two are. Let me guess, Lennon and McCartney at number one. Of course!! Because musical history only began 50 years ago didn't it? Don't make ridiculous statements like this. I mean, I love Brian Wilson, and he is fantastic within his genre, but of all time 
Come on........

Of course musical history began 50 years ago, for songwritin teams.  I guess you could count Liszt and his wife but they didn't really write lyrics, eh?  Name 3 songwriting teams better than Wilson/Love.  I saw you named 1, it gets harder from there, huh?  Here's a clue: You're immediately off into musical land.

I don't think the tweet means anything much really - probably just the DIA re-recording.

I for one hope that there IS NOT a NEW Beach Boys album being released - it will be compromised creatively and will stain the legacy they already have.

Sorry to be negative





Yeah, I agree.  I mean, what I HATE is when I go to the music store, and there's TOO MUCH MUSIC.  I hate it when they give me choices!  It's the same way with everything in life.  I hate when there's extra pretty women walking around.  I mean, when it enough enough.  If the Beach Boys record a new song, it will make my life worse somehow.  They might even play it on the radio, then that will be even MORE music that I might hear!  Hell, if it does good, they might even tour, and come to my town, and I'll have to not go out of my way to buy a ticket.

I decided whilst taking a shower, to DOUBLE DOWN on my comment.


Brian Wilson, and Mike Love, are the best songwriting team WALKING THE PLANET.

and Real Beach Boy, sorry the wannabes you mentioned don't make the cut.  Sorry.  I like them, but they're just not tall enough.

Maybe it was just because I was skimming through the articles trying to find whatever Brian said, but I couldn't really find anything. Couldn't even find the name "Joe Thomas" in the first article. Am I really so stupid?

Yep I have heard just about everything they have released and most of the later stuff is poor - their voices are not as good as they were and unless there is a overall producer and writer (BW) all we will get is a watered down compromise - two stars at the most

Try the second link. It says that they are friends again and may even work together again. It doesn't say that they did, though.
We know that Brian recorded 5 songs in Chicago when he was playing there. But I don't think it  necessarily means they are working together. Maybe Brian just needed some demos for a new album and took the chance to record them there so he doesn't have to travel to another place in a short time. We'll have to wait I guess.


Songwriter debate:

Leiber & Stoller imo are the greatest Rock-/Pop-songwriting duo ever. The Gershwins are fantastic as well (I know, they're not rock). I would put them eye to eye. Lennon/McCartney wrote some great stuff but afaik many of it were solo efforts that only fell under the two name practice (Yesterday is a very famous example for that). Wilson/Love did many great things, we know that. But all in all I guess the music is many times much better than the words. No matter how much I love some of Mike's words, but his lyrics don't stand up to the music/composition. Of course there are exceptions

@LostArt: Thanks for the link !

Of course musical history began 50 years ago, for songwritin teams. 

Are you mad?

The song, in it's present form can be dated back to at least Elizabethan times. That is to say a verse/chorus structure.

And I was being sarcastic about Lennon/McCartney.

It's time for the baby-boomers version of popular history to end. There was life before the 60's.

I doubt any of you would agree with me, but I'm gonna go ahead and add Strummer/Jones to the list. The London Calling album alone warrants it in my opinion.

And on the topic of a new Beach Boys album, I'd say that on a scale of 1-5, with Pet Sounds being a 5 and Summer In Paradise being a 1, a new album would probably be about a 3.

Hoping for a reunion album that BW can take charge one last time like the old days and put out a decent album that we all know the Beach Boys can do. Smiley

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Al was suspended from the band when Recording started for SIP, yet his vocals are one of the few highlights of the album. Who says it is necessary for everyone to be all kissy, kissy to make music.

But we're talkin' Summer In Paradise here.  That's kind of like saying writing your will is one of the few highlights of dying of a terminal disease.  
Did you even read what I was getting at? The point was that they do not have to get along to sing well together. I only brought up SIP because Al was on the outs at the time, yet provided some very good vocals on some mediocre songs.
