Shoot me but I've always felt that "Bull Session" was the perfect way to end Today!. How can you follow something as extraordinary as "ITBOMM" with another song? But you can't end the album with it either. So what can you end it with? Something non-musical----"Bull Session", for instance.

Why can't you end it with ITBOMM?

I would say, because the string fadeout is much too abrupt. It doesn't feel right as a closer----not to me anyway. If it were longer, then I concede that you could end the album with "ITBOMM". |

Bull Sessions. I dig why they were included in the first place, back in the day, but they're pretty dated and not necessary.

What about using 'Guess I'm Dumb' as album closer then? Instead of giving it away to an aspiring session musician. |

Bull Sessions with Big Daddy should go. Putting it as the last track eliminates any intrusion on the album, but to think an actual song could have gone on its spot instead!

ITBOMM works amazingly as a closer. I agree. Not only that, but what I don't understand is why it's so underrated. I mean I love that track, it the second-best off this album. But at the same time, it's obscure and forgotten |

While Bull Session is my favorite filler track, it has to be the first one out.
This should be a unanimous vote, but some smart alec will vote for something else to be different...same reason why no baseball hall of famer has ever received 100% of the vote--though Mariano Rivera may change all that....Bull Session has to go
No, it won't. For one thing, there's been more than 10 deserving, non-steroid contenders on the ballot in recent years and you can only vote for 10. So people might purposely leave off names like Rivera in order to help the candidacies of others they feel should be in. Then there's the fact that there's hundreds of voters and some of them are old enough to forget to check a box when there's some 30 names or whatever on the ballot. Then there's idiots that like to whine and punish players for whatever reason they can think of... ...then there's the old ones that simply don't want to vote for modern players because they hate the idea of sharing the limelight. /end rant Rivera gets in with 89% |

easy to vote against Bull Sessions - this is not even the funniest part of the whole.
NOW (IMO) we start on the TOUGHEST LP next to Pet Zounds cuz all the tracks are good, many Great.

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

Even by Beach Boys standards....some of the lyrics are pervy-cringy. Besides, if they hadn't shelved it, we might not have Marcella.... |

I see "Bull Session" as little different from the chat during the instrumental break in "Barbara Ann" or the middle section of the Smiley Smile version of "Wonderful". It's just that it takes up a whole track.
I still think it fits, in the same way that "Our Favorite Recording Sessions" fits----Brian's forgotten note on the piano is the first tone heard in the following song, "Don't Back Down". I'm still out on Cassius whatever. Although it did give fans a chance to hear the speaking voices of Al, Mike and Brian...

Don't Hurt My Little Sister. I actually don't hate it as much as some people on this board seem to, I like that it's a little bit of a story song which is unusual for the Beach Boys and I like Brian and Mike on vocals. But it's definitely the weakest song on the album.
