The Olympic rings of 15 Big Ones is kinda kooky but I like it. I have often wondered how they got the permission to use that logo ?

Surf's Up, way ahead of the pack. Why? The mood it projects----it reflects the darker stuff on side two perfectly. And front and back are of a piece...
With Surfin' U.S.A. in second place...

1) Holland - It's artistic
2) Pet Sounds - Connects with the music in such a weird way
3) Wild honey - Unique colors

Holland, Ten Years of Harmony, Surf's Up, Wild Honey - all fairly artistic and very tasteful.
I like the early stuff as well, fits their music in a nice unassuming (and very 60s) way. Summer Days is a particular favorite.

I've always loved the cover for Smiley Smile. Fair enough, it's a massive Rousseau rip off, but I like Rousseau and I like the Beach Boys, so it's a great mix. It just fits songs like Fall Breaks and Little Pad too.

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

Smiley Smile and Wild Honey are my favorites. and Surf's Up.
I forgot that someone already had that bee tattoo, I was thinking of getting that tattooed somewhere on me. I also want to get "The Smile That You Send Out Returns to You" tattooed on my arm.

Summer Days
Sunflower (the sleeve, as do the songs, exudes warmth and love)
L.A. Light Album
But also a note for the awful typography which spoils the wonderful Dennis image on POB.

A majority of 1 (me) think the Carl and the Passions cover in 12" format only is one of their greats. Great piece of very US car art, but loses something in CD format. Like KTSA; moody and evocative in large format. That tatt' is amazing!  |

They all have merit. For some reason, when this question comes up, I always think of LA. Maybe cause of the colorful postcard array. Also liked KTSA when it came out. Seemed really cool (NPI) at the time. MIU isn't bad..at least the cover isn't.

Keepin' The Summer Alive is both really cool and really lame at the same time. It's a really cool concept, but then also paints the desperation they had going at the time to stay relevant. As an oldies act. Overall I like it, though.
