The SMiLE Sessions. It's official now if you haven't heard.
SMiLE
By a long shot.
The best Beach Boys album is SMiLE.

Hi, I was wanting some suggestions on which album (only one) you'd recommend out of the following:
Friends
Wild Honey
Love You
Sunflower
Surf's Up
Holland
20/20
As for what I'm looking for, I'm pretty open.
Thanks a million!
I'd rank em this way:
Love You
Friends
Sunflower
Wild Honey
Holland
20/20
Surfs Up
...but everybody's different. Can't go wrong with any BB album up to and including MIU, in my opinion.

SUNFLOWER may be a more consistent start to finish listening experience than SURF'S UP, the latter's highlights are among the most essential items in the group's entire catalog. Can we truly say the same for SUNFLOWER?
Can I assume the highlights you would be comparing are these?
- This Whole World
- All I Wanna Do
- Forever
vs.
- A Day In The Life Of A Tree
- Till I Die
- Surf's Up

Bruce and Alan both said Sunflower was the best. I like Holland. Even 15 Big Ones has some good songs.

Smiley Smile is better, and IT is not even the best, by a country mile. Sorry.

I was also considering "Feel Flows", Long Promised Road" and "Disney Girls". Side 2 of SUNFLOWER is a tad sweet. I've always preferred the darkness of SURF'S UP. IMO the best SURF'S UP tunes are better than the best SUNFLOWER songs.

IMO, their best album, just in terms of rockin' out and not being stupid hippies, is LITTLE DEUCE COUPE.
IT'S A WINNER !

Surf's Up or Holland, I've always been a particular fan of Surf's Up over Sunflower, but Sunflower is magnificent.

LITTLE DEUCE COUPE is Rock's first concept album. Do the cuts borrowed from other albums make it a ringer? Well, the Stones pulled that trick with FLOWERS and the Beach Boys do it with LITTLE DEUCE COUPE. Classic Americana.

Right. It's NEVER bothered me that they snagged 'car' songs from earlier albums. And it still doesn't. I loved that Lp the moment I heard it. I'm going.... YEAH BABY, this rocks!!!

20/20 because that's when they had to make it or break it. The album worked and the BB re-entered the dance club song list. Sunflower mellowed things out at a time it was needed and Surf's Up grabbed the listener by the balls and said, this is what you been missing. Holland re-certified those feelings and emotions. Big time!

My personal favorite is Love You. Incredibly inventive backing tracks, bizarre yet ultimately touching lyrics by BW himself, and lots of brilliantly catchy melodies.
Let's not forget Carl and the Passions, by the way, a great little album in its very own way.
