Welcome back to 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... Love You (also known as The Beach Boys Love You) is the twenty-first studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on April 11, 1977. Originally conceived as a Brian Wilson solo album entitled Brian Loves You, the album is almost entirely written and performed by Wilson, with the other band members mainly serving as additional lead vocalists.
Penned during a process of mental and drug rehabilitation for Wilson, Love You has been praised by critics for the album's honest, unpretentious lyrics, and has been described as a portrait into Brian Wilson's sense of self in 1977. Heavily reliant on 1970s analog synthesizers, the album has been recognised as an idiosyncratic and creative oddity in the Beach Boys' canon. As usual vote for your least favorite track. The track with the most votes gets voted off. Tally on March 7th Let Us Go on This Way Roller Skating Child Mona Johnny Carson Good Time Honkin' Down the Highway Ding Dang Solar System The Night Was So Young I'll Bet He's Nice Let's Put Our Hearts Together I Wanna Pick You Up Airplane Love is a Woman This is probably the toughest album for me to vote things off. There are little things that make me love every since track. That being said my vote for least favorite goes to Roller Skating Child. It feels the most thrown together of all the songs. |

Ding Dang--I understand its back story, but it's still just a snippet at the end of the day

Hate to say it, but Love Is A Woman.
Love all the tracks on this album, including the likes of Ding Dang and Johnny Carson!

Love Is a Woman, the one song that just doesn't explode into some mad burst of creativity. It has some of the album's elements, but comes off more as lounge-singer cheese. I always find that the final tracks on 15 Big Ones and Love You should be switched because Just Once in My Life has the synth-drenched transcendence needed to end the album.

I have disagree with all of you who are voting for Love Is A Woman (my favorite on this album). To me that is the song that brings it all together. I hated love you until one day I was listening to Love Is A Woman with it's mocking saxophones and suddenly I GOT Love You. I understood it. I laughed harder than I had laughed all decade. I can't see how you can get Love You and vote off the punchline of the whole album. Just my op. |

"Solar System" Nice song but weakest for me. If "Love is a Woman" goes first I'm shutting this board down  |
