Sunflower is the sixteenth studio album by American rock group The Beach Boys, their first on Reprise Records. The album reached a respectable number 29 in the UK though only achieved number 151 on the US albums chart during a four week stay, becoming the lowest charting Beach Boys album until 1978's M.I.U. Album equalled it.
The album's critical reputation has grown since its original appearance; it is notable for the emergence of significant songwriting contributions by all members of the band. Welcome back to the a new round of BEACH BOYS SURVIVOR. Remember to be respectful of others opinions. Please don't spam the thread with too much opinionating (a little is ok  ).... and without further ado... VOTE OFF YOUR LEAST FAVORITE TRACK!!! Tally on February 13th!!! Slip on Through This Whole World Add Some Music to Your Day Got to Know the Woman Deirdre It's About Time Tears in the Morning All I Wanna Do Forever Our Sweet Love At My Window Cool, Cool Water My least favorite has got to be the overly saccharine "Deirdre". |

At My Window, no contest at this point!
I actually quite like Deirdre and to an extent, Tears In The Morning!

Tears In The Morning
It's very nicely produced, I really like the accordion, in fact on a Bruce solo album it'd probably be a highlight...
But on Sunflower it sticks out like a sore thumb and is absolutely the weak link of the album.

Tears in the Morning. I recently re-listened to Sunflower and decided that I don't dislike the song as much as I had previously, but I still don't think it's as good as the other songs on this album.

Tears…
At My Window might not be the strongest BBs track in the world but I'd ask those who've already voted for it to listen again, closely… listen to the delivery of "the people must look like miniature toys…"; listen again to "poooof"; and especially listen again to the glorious fade… his is a song packed with intricacies, exquisities and brief brush strokes of utter genius.

But on Sunflower it sticks out like a sore thumb and is absolutely the weak link of the album.
Bruce himself has agreed with this opinion, stating that he shouldn't have made it a BB track. That being said I like it more than Cool Cool Water--in my opinion that last 2 tracks of Sunflower are the weakest. I know I'm on an island with the Cool Cool Water track but its charm was lost on me, and I'm a SMiLE nut |

My least favorite has got to be the overly saccharine "Deirdre".
More like overly the best song on the album. It's got such a sweet and tender vocal, it's melodic, the sentiment is nice...I dunno, I know most here don't dig it as much as I do, but it's one of my favorite things about the whole catalog, that there's this gem sitting on Track Five of this album. Least favorite is Cool Cool Water
