The Beach Boys
: "I Do Love You" (sounds so different from everything else on the album, you'd almost think it was performed by a whole different band)
I wonder why that might be.
Sorry. I couldn't resist!

I always thought MIU was kinda underrated... it's definitely not a good album, but it's not awful. Though maybe it's because I was immediately won over with She's Got Rhythm
Agreed. Not a good album but not as terrible as some suggest. Al did a good job on songs like Come Go With Me, Pitter Patter and Winds of Change. A shame that Brian was barely interested by this point but I guess on the previous 4 albums that he'd worked on (if New Album and Adult/Child are included) he had done some work before giving up so not really a surprise.

What's the best song from LA?
"She's Got Rhythm" is one of the few other songs on
M.I.U.
that I can listen to, though it seems a little underdeveloped. The best song from
L.A.
, in my mind, is "Love Surrounds Me." I like most of the songs on the album (except "Sumahama," "Here Comes the Night," and "Goin' South") but that's the only one that stands out.

FTR I don't consider L.A. Light Album or the 85 album to be "sub-par", so I won't include them on this list. I'll include the best song off each album I consider "sub-par":
Little Deuce Coupe: Ballad Of Ole' Betsy.
Beach Boys' Party: You've Got To Hide Your Love Away.
15 Big Ones: Just Once In My Life.
M.I.U. Album: My Diane.
Keepin' The Summer Alive: Keepin' The Summer Alive.
Still Cruisin': Make It Big.
Summer In Paradise: Slow Summer Dancin' (One Summer Night).
Stars And Stripes Volume 1: The Warmth Of The Sun.

I guess the definition of 'sub-par' is a very personal one. That said:
M.I.U. Album
- My Diane (fantastic song on a below-mediocre album); and I do have a deep affection for Winds Of Change too, perhaps I am pretty alone in that;
Keeping The Summer Alive
- When Girls Get Together; and also: Goin' On, and Endless Harmony;
1985 - The Beach Boys
- Passing Friend, and Getcha' Back;
Carl & The Passions
- Marcella, and All This Is That (my long-lasting love affair with Cuddle Up has come to an end, unfortunately; I like it slightly).
Still Cruisin'
- Somewhere Near Japan, and, yes, Kokomo.

Worst albums?
MIU - My Diane and Pitter Patter
KTSA - Santa Ana Winds and Goin' On
SIP - Strange Things Happen
Still Cruisin' (not counting the classics) - Somewhere Near Japan
BB85 - Where I Belong, Male Ego, It's Gettin' Late. She Believes in Love Again
15 BO - Just Once In My Life, Had To Phone Ya, Susie Cincinnati, A Casual Look, In The Still Of The Night
LA - Good Timin', Baby Blue, Love Surrounds Me, Angel Come Home, Full Sail and, yes, as sappy as it is, Lady Lynda
CATP - I don't regard this as anywhere near their worst and I'm reluctant to throw 15 BO and LA in the mix - there's a lot of redeemable stuff on both.

I don't get anyone who calls themselves a Beach Boys/Brian Wilson fan and can't recognize a great tune from his pen. But what a lotta folks around here are best at is disliking the band's music, and talking about it incessantly.
Gone but not forgotten. You tell 'em Ian!

I have to admit, I've developed a soft spot for 'Sunshine'. This is probably bad.
