Dennis Wilson Songs

[Surfer]

What song is better Never Learn Not to Love or Lady

[Gertie J.]

none. I love POB.

[Surfer]

Pacific Ocean Blue is my Personal Favorite because i have it on my MP3 Player and l listen to it all the time.

[Chocolate Shake Man]

Anybody want to place bets on how long this guy will last?

[Gertie J.]

he's a Surfer so.......... we expect a wipeout.

[Mikie]

Just happen to be listening to the acapella version of it right now: "Forever".

There's so many. Be With Me, All 4 songs on Sunflower. San Miguel, Cuddle Up, Make It Good, Barbara, I've Got A Friend, Only With You, Steamboat, Carry Me Home, Baby Blue, Morning Christmas, Wild Situation, River Song, the whole damn POB album. And yes, You Are So Beautiful. Even effing Denny's Drums.

These are off the top. I know I left a few out that should be included. Celebrate The News. Fourth Of July. Just great, great, top shelf material.

Next to Brian Wilson, The Wood was hands down the best songwriter of the band. Not even a second thought.

[Surfer]

Charles Manson did the original Cease to Exist.

Everybody play nicely. We were all newbies once. Hell as a brand new fan my first ever post was in 1996 on the old Wheeler board asking if it was Bruce singing on Do you wanna dance. I had yet to hear what him or Dennis sounded like at that point and figured the vocals sounded "like I'd expect someone named Bruce to sound like".

[18thofMay]

I am suss this guy looks like a nobody!

[I. Spaceman]

What song is better Never Learn Not to Love or Lady

Lady. But Never Learn is great as well.

[joshferrell]

Out of the two songs listed, "Lady"..

[Mikie]

"Lady" is a great song. Right up there with the others I listed above. Desper says he was the engineer on that. Good story about it on his thread.

Surfer, as you might know, the 2009 mix of "Lady" ("Fallin' In Love") is on the Beach Boys' compilation "Summer Love Songs". To me, the best version out there. Spring also did a great version of "Fallin' In Love". You have good taste!

Love this one too:

More people need to dig "Celebrate the News", that song is a motherfucker!

Couldn't have put it better myself, Mikie. Right on all counts.

Incidentally, I've got to say it was pretty unpleasant to read some of the smug, sarcastic comments in response to Surfer's perfectly innocent, unoffensive post. What the hell kind of justification is there for talking at/about him like that? We should be welcoming new people to the site, not trying to patronise and belittle them. The sensible thing to do would've been to point out to Surfer that his question would've maybe been better posted in the 'Questions that don't warrant an entire thread' post - or better yet, you could've just answered his question and left him to get a feel of the site for himself. This constant smirking smugness is really unjustified, folks. No one here is any better than anyone else - we're all a bunch of geeks obsessing over a fifty year old music group!

Anyway Surfer, in answer to your post: I think Never Learn... is an amazing production from Dennis, but Lady is the better song - one of my favourite songs in the bands entire catalogue in fact... I prefer the original version rather than the updated remix however.

Agreed!

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Very well put.

[SonicVolcano]

Lady, definitely.

[Micha]

Even if you had listed all released DW songs, I'd still choose Lady. What a great string arrangement, what intricate vocals!

[Lowbacca]

What song is better Never Learn Not to Love or Lady

I love both of them equally. Neither of them is "Celebrate The News", though.

[Micha]

Lady is good as well, but that orchestra lets the song a bit down.

As I said, the orchestra is the greatest thing to me on that track next to the vocals!
