still, i can't really dislike ANY song from this album.
let's hear it for LOVE YOU y'all!

Love You is by far one of their best records. It was the last time Brian really captured what he was feeling (and at his best he could do better than anyone else by far). Its such such such a great record and so atmospheric and weird and perfect in its own way, and I don't get why a lot of people don't seem to like it. I mean I don't wanna put anyone down or judge em, but if it's because of the production that sucks. I don't think the core magic of Brian was ever about the production, it was about his emotional honesty and his music. And I think Love You is really raw honesty. Anyways, yeah, let's hear it for Love You!

Love You has some real gems. as Mike said, those songs are BITCHES!

it seems to me what people dislike most are the corny lyrics and Brian's vocals. i suppose some are turned off by the production as well... Pet Sounds it ain't! but it's Brian through and through. goofy subject matter or not (which i love), there's some great songwriting and arranging going on.

Roller Skating Child is a good example. if the lyrics weren't so godawful i would really regret voting if off

Those of you that don't care for tactical voting, please move through the room quietly.  There are no weak tracks on Love You.  Just great or Greater tracks.
A gentle bang for:
"Solar System"  See?  You can hardly read the title.  'specially those of you on pads and phones.

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  :D ).... and without further ado...

Quote
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.

12 smilers have destroyed the Solar System.

As usual vote for your least favorite track. The track with the most votes gets voted off.

Tally on March 17th

Round#1 - Love is a Woman March 7
Round#2 - Let's Put Our Hearts Together March 9
Round#3 - Ding Dang March 11
Round#4 - I Wanna Pick You Up March 13
Round#5 - Solar System March 15

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.
