Beach Boys Survivor #16 WINNER: TIME TO GET ALONE!!!

[MyDrKnowsItKeepsMeCalm]

Be with Me

As a relative newbie to the 1968-73 material, I actually like All I Want To Do. There are better songs in the world, but I dig the "OMG this is the BBs?" shock of it, and Mike's vocals are pretty cool.

All I Want To Do.

Never Learn Not to Love--nothing to do with Manson, just not my fave tune

I am going to have to politely ask you guys to accept that people have different opinions and by their very nature as opinions they are neither right nor wrong. Others like different stuff than you. Deal with it.

It's a huge drag to count votes and have to wade through your excessive back and forth. Discussion of the tracks is ok, but not to the point where you are monopolizing the thread.

I know you are both new here and your exuberance is o.k. Just rein it in a bit, ok?

I'm not new...

Hate to vote for it but "cotton fields"

I understand you and I can respect other people's opinions but when they start attacking him using Brian songs as weapons like Gabo did (the guy that started this whole thing) that's the kind of stuff I was talking about.  Denny looked up to Brian and stood by his side and when Brian took a downward spiral it was Denny who really stepped up musically and some people on this board seems to have forgotten that

July 2013 is new. Not December 2013 new.

You are new.

Now... the length of your membership isn't at issue here. The issue is spamming my thread. So just apologize for helping to make this last update a HUMONGOUS PAIN IN THE NECK for me and be on your way.

Exactly! I say blame Gabo.
Virtually everywhere I see him, he trashes Denny's work!
Rarely I see him say something good about his songs
Little Bird, NLNTL and possibly Forever aside, he generally takes pleasure in what he's doing.
Yet we're the ones people complain about....

You don't know Gabo in real life. He is an anonymous guy on the internet who is entitled to his opinion, so long as he isn't breaking any rules. If you are going to spend much time here your skin needs to get a helluva lot thicker. Again, deal with it somewhere else. Don't clog up my thread with useless smilies and argumentative banter. Keep it constructive. Don't feed the trolls. etc....

Gabo's opinions don't clog my thread with spam. Move on.

6 months isn't that new in my book.
But in this case people have a difference of opinions.
I apologize for "spamming" on this thread.

P.S. At least we were having a discussion directly related to this thread, instead of starting a new topic or talk about/spam completely unrelated stuff.
In no way Retrokid and Myself are trolls. If you do think that I apologize, and please don't be misunderstood.

[alf wiedersehen]

Look, you don't have to defend Dennis - that's not your job.

Just let it go.

Tip of the hat to pixletwin for keeping these survivors going, must be a pain in the neck tallying the votes

[retrokid67]

Just let it go.

We know we don't "have to" I felt the need to because he gets the short end of the stick quite a lot regarding his music.  and I'll be ready to do it again if I need to, but I don't want to ruin this guy's thread because he's right it wasn't intended for this  

[SMiLE Brian]

Quit posting about it then. This spamming is pissing me off.

You don't need to respond.

Vote,  say your peace, and go off somewhere else. Come back for the next round. That is how this works.

I'm surprised you would even care about what goes on in the Survivor threads.
You never even participate lol

Just about to say that.
Plus Dennis is dead. Someone has to defend him, he can't defend himself anymore.

Anyway enough with the discussion. Let's just go back to how Pixletwin wants the Survivor threads to be, which was frankly far more peaceful

[Mike's Beard]

Let's face it, when Dennis first started writing, some of his stuff was very much in the 'oh look Ringo has wrote a song, how cute' vein. It's obvious that his Friends/20/20 songs are not going to outlast the best of what Brian was still producing during this period. Dennis upped his game considerably from Sunflower onwards and I expect once the 70s album threads start the voting will reflect this.

I can understand where you're coming from but when Gabo made that comment on the Friends thread, he wasn't so much attacking the song "Be Still" he was attacking Dennis himself which is what started this whole thing.  But we said we would leave this alone, I don't wanna cause anymore problems for Pixletwin

Yeah, Gabo started this whole mess. He does this all the time, in fact there's a whole list of threads where he's said similar stuff

I dunno about that. I for one love his songs from the Friends/20/20 era. Be With Me is a masterpiece, All I Want To Do is such a great song to dance to, Never Learn Not To Love is interesting and unique, Little Bird and Be Still are both beautiful and amazing considering they are his first compositions.
The only Denny tracks I don't care for much during that period is Mona Kana, and Celebrate The News.
I feel bad for Dennis that the band treated him like that and was always under-appreciated in his own band.

Now I'm going to shut my mouth. No doubt Pixletwin is already sick of this discussion, and I have no intention of pissing him off further

Are you two going to vote your least faves or what?

[bluesno1fann]

Are you two going to vote your least faves or what?

We already did...
Retrokid voted for Cottonfields.
I voted for Do It Again, then changed my vote to Cottonfields in an attempt to save All I Want To Do
