[Disney Boy (1985)]

Well, Dennis was not FORCED to remove his tracks from Surf's Up; he did it when he and Carl couldn't agree on sequencing. So the blame is Dennis' and his alone.

Yup. I have noticed there is a tendency among BB fans to blame everyone but the person(s) ultimately responsible for their various misadventures.

Going by comments on another recent post, I'm sure a lot of Smiley Smiler's blame Jack Rieley...

[Rocky Raccoon]

Honestly, I've always thought "'Til I Die" followed by "Surf's Up" closing the album was just perfection, I don't think I'd want it any other way.  I wonder why Dennis's songs didn't carry over to the Carl and the Passions album.  I guess he had just moved on from them by that point (I know a lot of people have said that Dennis was a very in-the-moment guy).  But I mean, that album could have benefitted from more material for sure.
