Getcha Back is the only good song on that album.
I agree. Even if it's not that good a song, it's the best song on the album. I hate that album. It's hands down the worst album the boys made with Brian.
Sir, that would be 15 Big Ones.
(for some odd reason, I am drawn to '85 - the only song I really don't care for is "It's Just A Matter of Time". Loves me some "Passing Friend", all five minutes.)

What? No way. 15 Big Ones have 'It's OK', 'Had to Phone Ya', 'That Same Song', 'Susie Cincinnati', 'Just Once in My Life', and 'Back Home' - all pretty good songs. BB85 has got 'Getcha' Back'. Enough said.

Replace Had to Phone Ya with A Casual Look & Just Once in My Life with TM Song, add R&R Music, Blueberry Hill & Chapel of Love and you've got rather a good collection of songs IMO.
Taste is certainly subjective

Ooh no...15 Big Ones has plenty of uninhibited, odd Brian at his best. MIU, Keepin' the Summer and '85 are barely listenable to me because the production is too sanitised. It's like, post Love You they all decided THAT was never going to happen again, and it hasn't.
With Dennis gone they lost any kind of soul (and hipness) in the music, no more 'wacky Brian' productions. Those were the things that kept them artistically interesting during the late sixties and seventies, imo.

fully agree.
by the late 70's Carl and Dennis were the only cool guys left. Brian had his eccentric/great moments, but Mike/Al/Bruce were about as lame as one could get. After LA Dennis slipped away and Carl gave up. The result being the utter trash KTSA (it's sh*t, whether one enjoys it or not, its just total sh*t...with an equally sh*t cover and production). 85' is not much improvement on KTSA (meaning it too is generally sh*t, the few good songs are rammed by sh*t production).
PS: I do like Goin' On, but if that is the best they can make then God help them (he didn't, because he thought it was sh*t too)!

I don't know if this is true. Dennis didn't slip away so much as get booted out. I'm sure, if asked, he would have happily contributed material to
KTSA
and a follow up if he was still around. And with Carl, I think he was still trying, but his tastes were just becoming a lot less "hip". It looks like he was honestly trying with stuff like "Keepin' The Summer Alive" and "Livin' With A Heartache", but that it was just more predictable and not as artistic sounding as stuff like "Feel Flows" "Angel Come Home". Same thing with his stuff on the self-titled album. He was trying to make the band contemporary, but instead of leading like they used to, it sounded more like he was following the sounds of the times.

"Made In California" (5 important songs on a 6 disc set,for the first time ever you will get every recording,demos,and alt takes known for five historical songs we also include a rare live performance of each song as well)
Disc #1 -"Surfin,what the beach boys are all about" -for the first time ever you get 78 minutes of the very first song ever recorded by the beach boys,including the rare out of print version from the now out of print "Summer in paradise" and a live "lip Synch" version an early tv appearance.
Disc #2-"The Problem Child Sessions"-for the first time ever we are releasing the complete sessions for what most fans call the last great beach boys song,this disc contains not only the outtakes but a couple new remixes and a newly discovered live performance and piano demo with mike love on the piano. In Honor of the late John Ritter the song has been remixed with a syphony orchestra to pay tribute to a great comedian.
Disc#3-"Hey Little Tomboy,Listen to this disc"-Hey all you tomboys out there check out this disc dedicated just for you,for the first time ever you get to hear a pristine remaster of the lost tomboy sessions as well as a new duet,it also includes a piano demo with Brian and Dennis.
Disc #4-"Duets"- for the first time ever we are releasing every duet they ever did,including the now rare out of print "Stars and straipes" cd in it's entirety.
Disc#5-"Forever-The John Stamos sessions"-for the first time ever we are releasing the complete "John Stamos Forever sessions",we also found 5 live performances which will be included on here,as well as a "duet" between he and the late Dennis Wilson using todays best technology we took out certain parts of Johns voice and carefully placed it on the original Dennis Wilson version,we think Dennis would be proud.
Disc#6-"Unreleased gems"for the first time ever the last disc is saved for the best,their greatest unreleased songs,including the long lost "Cocain Sessions",some of the songs slated for release are "Drip Drop","The battle hymn of the republic", and outtakes of "TM song",A demo of "Dennys drum" and live performances of "Ding Dang" and "Summer of Love"

I like the originals on 15 Big Ones (except TM) - but I find the covers to be pretty terrible. Glad you dig it, though.
All of you who have heard the BB version of "Just Once...", have you heard the original Righteous Brothers version? So powerful.

I agree I only play the 45 of Getcha Back/Male Ego.
Nonsense. Where I Belong is hands down THE best Beach Boys song of the eighties!! (Also It's Gettin Late and I Do Love You also good songs. Getcha Back is the 5th or 6th best song on BB '85 - not my opinion, but a proven scientific fact).

Does anyone else cut the Beach Boys much more slack than they would other groups? I mean I have most of 15 Big Ones, MIU, KTSA BB85 on my mp3 and DO listen to them from time to time, but when it comes to other groups I like that have put out albums of a similar mediocre quality as the ones mentioned above they
never
even get a lookin on my playlist. It seems I'm much more willing to forgive the BB's than I am other bands.

I'm sure we all do compared to the average person -- liking
Love You
is probably one of the better examples of this sort of thing -- but even I don't listen to any albums after 1977. There's just no point for me -- there are some good songs, sure, but they're few and far (far!) between that the GV box set has almost all you seriously need (except "Love Surrounds Me" and "My Diane").

I'm almost getting to the point where I think her iconoclastic tastes are so odd that they go all the way through crazy and into cool. Maybe she is the "clue to the new direction".

As immodest as it may sound, from all the usernames I like my own. It begins with "R" and ends with "r". And in the middle is also the same letter. Besides, I like difficult-sounding names, some roughness in them. And the last: once seeing this car model on TV, I immediately liked its design, type etc. But mind that I don't know anything about the automobiles, neither their characteristics nor the titles of details and various car-related terms.
