Did they really need to put Frosty the Snowman on there?
Seems really out of place.
Yeah, well, that was the US "Best of," not the UK. I know it's not really kosher to put something like this on the list; just saying that there are compilations that have special resonance for the individual BB listener. Probably something that should be in its own thread (and I'd be surprised if it hadn't already been).

I have made myself a 2disc mixcd with all the stuff Brian Wilson was involved with, post smiley smile, up until 1971. With the newest stereo remastered versions of the songs. I tend to listen to that collection a lot. I woould put that one on number 4 instead of Sunflower, if it was offical.

Smile shouldn't count as it was never officially released and smuggling in compilations is bad form.

I've excluded folks votes for compilations (hence the totals don't match).
Smile
has been lumped with the big box as many folk have listed both. In the final analysis, it doesn't' affect the #1 album.

Wow you would think Beach Boys fans would like real surf music ala Surfin' USA. That's a great early rock and roll album if I ever heard one.

I'm oddly conflicted over this issue. I grew up with the surf and car styled songs, and loved them with a passion. Songs like "409", "Little Deuce Coupe", and "Surfin" were awesome to me as a young kid growing up. But now I mostly ignore most of their pre 1965-66 material. Stuff like "409" to me now sounds pretty juvenile, compaired to Marcella, Add Some Music, anything from Pet Sounds or Smile, etc. I know that statement won't sit well with some people here.
There are some obvious exceptions though, such as Please Let Me Wonder, Warmth Of The Sun, and Don't Worry Baby.

Not only do I have a new favorite album almost every day, I've been known to change my mind several times in one day.
Right now it's somewhere between Friends and Sunflower. Or maybe Holland.

A few random stats:
To date
Pet Sounds
has garnered 307 votes out of a possible 335, or 91.64%. It's also got 40 first placed votes out of a possible 67.
Highest placings by decade - 60s, #1... 70s, #3... 80s, #23, 90s, none, 00s, none, 10s, #17 (or #5 if you count the
Smile/TSS
votes)
10 albums have gained first place votes.
Every album voted for has missed at least one list. Yes, even
Pet Sounds
.
The average vote for
Pet Sounds
is 4.58. That of
Today
(currently in 2nd place) is 2.09.
In the current Top 10 there are six sixties albums (allowing
Smile/TSS
as a 60s album) and four from the seventies. Only one predates 1966.

Agree, Surfin USA is fantastic. Listened to the remaster a lot recently and it blows me away.
I also absolutely love Carl and the Passions more with each listen. Been playing it since I was about 15 (33 years!) but appreciate it more on every play.
