God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Anything that Brian sings very good again-I don't care what they use to make him sound good-RG, ITKOD, LOS, Heaven, whatever-a good BW vocal goes a long way. Cry

I agree with OSD! Brian at his best is tear inducing!

Surf's Up may be the all-time killer for me, though Please Let Me Wonder almost takes the cake.

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

Strangely, Just Once In My Life gets to me whenever I hear it. I know Brian's voice is cracking blah blah, but emotion-wise, he's right on the money!

I mean WHO hasn't felt like THAT in their life? The original is great, but Brian on the 15 Big Ones version: that's what those emotions feel like and Brian nailed it!

The synths are amazing in that song as Brian is rebuilding the wall of sound with them.

Agree completely. Stunning arrangement of this song and the vocals go right to the heart and soul of the song's premise. Carl's "...every pot of gold ain't so easy to find... could melt steel.

Brian sounds great on "Just Once In My Life". Suits the song too well. I don't understand the majority's opinion on stuff like this.

Baby Blue kicks my ass everytime, even more so since the passing of both vocalists.
Also, I'll bet he's nice, as each brother lays it down

Your Summer Dream, God Only Knows acappella tag, Daybreak (2005 version), Forever.

With you on GOK acapella tag, chokes me up every time! Also agree with the dude who said Cuddle Up, love it. I also get quite choked up during the Who Ran The Iron Horse? sections of Cabin Essence, the vocals and the backing track are sublime and deeply moving to me.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

I only cry at songs about dogs dying. That said, "She Knows Me Too Well" is quite a close call.

Caroline, No gets me every time.  After going through the emotional ride pet sounds is, Brian's falsetto sounds so vulnerable and unsure... it's crushing. . Also, SU '67 did it the first couple of times.  I've listened to it some 500 times by now, so I can generally stifle the tears
Logged

Mark-pull the first part of the song off comp real P0216643 and back to P0189510 for the chorus. Wait, sorry, it's on the second half of the 'our prayer' reel, P026636, 22 minutes in.  Tracks 2,4 and 5, see?  Wow, this is tiring work...

Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread

As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
