Sirs -
may I take the liberty to point out a serious omission in your poll?
Yours truly was all set to vote for John Stamos. Alas, he's not on your nominee list.
I urge you to correct this directly. Otherwise, I might have to cancel my subscription to your publication, the reputation of which hitherto has been untarnished.
Yours sincerely, mr Heartical Don, the nether lands.
Darlin' Don - ya forgot the "ladies in the house!"
You cheeky little nerd -
let's go out and party all night. By way of apology. If I were a woman I would only go out with men like me.
Yours, the Don.

I accidentally voted for Dennis, who is definitely one of my favorite BBs for his music. I meant to vote for Carl, for that fabulous voice and his production talents.
Both Carl and Dennis are responsible for a lot of my favorite BB tracks.

Brian is my favorite in such a way that it's not even close to being a question. I don't consider myself a "Brianista" though, both because i recognize Brian as a fallible artist and person, and i really do generally like Mike, all his bullshit aside. I'm also not a "Wilsonista," as i think Al rules just as much as Carl, and Dennis can take a hike. After Brian, my second favorite is the entire band as a collective songwriting/producing/arranging/singing unit. That's what i like most about Brian stepping down -- that they all came together to become a powerful creative force, greater than the sum of its parts. And that democratic force, i think, was the best source of creativity after Brian, and produced a body of work greater than Dennis' own material. Dennis is easily my least favorite vocalist in the group, including Bruce. I love Bruce's voice and his golden trilogy (Deirdre, Tears, Disney).

With all that creative talent it's kind of mind boggling to think that in a parallel universe the others may never have been more than "Brian's backing singers".

This really does seem like a poll that is more fitting for Teen Beat than this board. But as the originator of a recent thread that probably sets a new smiley smile record for having received ZERO responses (much to my humiliation and embarrassment) I'm the last person who should criticize someone else's thread topic.
No you are wrong, I am in the same boat too.
Say! How about this...I'll post in your thread if you post in mine!

I may have to steal that "golden trilogy" description.
Since I'm in the mood of ranking, here goes:
1) Deirdre,
2) Disney
3) Tears

Ok, I'll speak up for some of the "other" guys (i.e., not of the Wilson/Love clan):
Dave Marks is a cool, funny, and very talented guy. If anyone could qualify as the fourth Wilson brother, he should -- he grew up with them and they with him.
Al Jardine is very much the gentleman and has an amazing voice even today.
Can anyone in the BBs hit consistently higher notes than Bruce Johnston? Maybe Brian back in the day, but Bruce can still reach the high ones.
Blondie Chaplin can definitely rock! The Stones' loss is Brian's gain.
Ricky is a great drummer, and I'm pretty sure Bonnie Raitt appreciates him too (at least she said so in concert).

Strictly based on music:
1. Brian
2. Dennis
3. Carl
4. Mike
5. Al
6. Bruce
I know too little about David, Ricky and Blondie from listening to Beach Boys music, to form an opinion.

Brian Wilson for sure.
Thankfully, this board is saner than I thought.
(Unlike Brian for parts of his life...but still. He is one of the ultimate pop music geniuses.)

Yours truly was all set to vote for John Stamos. Alas, he's not on your nominee list.
I urge you to correct this directly. Otherwise, I might have to cancel my subscription to your publication, the reputation of which hitherto has been untarnished.
Yours sincerely, mr Heartical Don, the nether lands.
John Stamos was never an official member, just like Glen Campbell, Billy Hinsche, Matt Jardine, Jeff Foskett, etc. never became official members
I'm 99% sure he's joking about having Stamos in your poll. At least I absolutely hope he is.

Brian, followed by Carl and Blondie. Really. I look at it as who brought what to the band and I think those three guys brought stuff the others didn't.
My full ranking is:
Brian
Carl
Blondie
Al
Dennis
Mike
Ricky *
Dave
Bruce
* Ricky's ranking stems from me being a drummer and Rutles fan.

Yeah, poor David. Never expected him to get the least votes, which is none.
I'd change my vote to him if it weren't for the fact that i'm too much of a Dennis fan, and Dennis is surprising not doing as well as I thought

Don't worry, I'm sure we can all think of one guy who's going to cast his vote in favour of Mr. Marks when he stumbles upon this thread.

Still waiting for Zep to make the list (though I still would have voted for Carl).
