I'm not sure what was so bad about California Calling.  One of the more convincing throwbacks, if nothing more.

And RINGO FREAKING STARR on real drums - a desperate man for a desperate time. Totally rad!

I'm so lonely - back in ole '85, while I was delighted to hear this track get annouting on my local AM station, I had to begrudingly agree with the smart ass announcer when he said "That's a new one from The Beach Boys, it sounds like they couldn't care less" (altough he obvioulsy hadn't heard the whole LP)
Hi Pixletwin - sorry, my vote for this round is for  "I Do Love You" (and so on, until that f*cker's gone) not I'm So Lonely. I attribute this gaff to over-consumption of a rather delightful South Australian Riesling - cheers - A

Being a dedicated Beach Boys fan in these 70's/80's Survivor Threads has become a matter of defending what we should be here to adore.  I sure do.   I Love this record.
When I first heard that Culture Club's producer was picked to oversee the tracks, I thought it was a bad choice.  I couldn't stand Culture Club, not one track.  They were popular, so it was difficult to completely shut them out.
I also didn't think it was the best idea for Carl to come back to the band.  But regardless of what I read around here, Carl was the Boss of this band.  Live - now when they did oldies you were more likely to hear deep cuts, overlooked for years - Carl even worked in his solo stuff, the 1983 sets were fantastic.  And in the studio... especially in the studio.  They were so dependent on him, even Bruce turned his one song over to Carl to sing.  Smart move.  Brian was struggling a bit by 1985.  He brought what he had, unlike later when he saved songs for future projects - I don't think he was doing that here.  I had heard a piece of "It's Just a Matter of Time" back in 1979.
Mike is solid on this record too.  His vocal on "It's Just a Matter of Time" is a wonderful throwback to 15 Big Ones.  "Getcha Back" and "Male Ego" are both classic.  I believe since the late 70's he was happy just doing his part (the popular oldies) at the concerts.
Carl wanted to sound modern, something he had been pushing for years.  He may have thought it was a good idea to bring in Levine, but to me he is very much in control of the production on the tracks he is singing.
I'm going to try and start putting up more input on all the polling/ranking around here.  For now I need to vote, my first on this record.  My very favorites aren't doing too well.

My vote goes to "I'm So Lonely"

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

Kinda seems like the "next new vote" was for "Maybe I Don't Know," BUT WHATEVER.

Come on Pixletwin and Bubbly Boy, don't ruin it for those who love that song! I'm So Lonely was voted off by one vote. 3 people voted after Pixletwin announced it was a tie, and 2 voted for I'm So Lonely!

EDIT: Just realized Les P had voted twice for the same song. Never mind, carry on

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...

For me this album  is fraught with tracks which bear little resemblance to THE BEACH BOYS and far too much much resemblance to Culture Club. My least favorite Beach Boys album.

Quote
The Beach Boys is the self-titled twenty-fifth studio album by American rock band The Beach Boys, released on June 10, 1985. Produced by Steve Levine, the album is the band's first to be recorded after the death of founding member Dennis Wilson. It was also the first of the band's albums to be recorded digitally and released on CD. It's also the last album released by James William Guercio's Caribou Records.

For the album, the band hired Culture Club producer Steve Levine, who took them into the world of drum machines, synthesizers, sampling, and hi-tech recording technology. Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and Al Jardine all took an active role in the project, writing several new songs for it, with Stevie Wonder and Culture Club each donating a song. The album was recorded during summer 1984 at Red Bus studio in London, and Westlake Audio in Los Angeles during late 1984/early 1985. It features Motown artist Stevie Wonder on harmonica and keyboards on the song "I Do Love You", which he also wrote. Ringo Starr also appears on the track "California Calling" (Starr also appeared live with The Beach Boys in 1985 during the 4th of July concert in Washington D.C.). Noted guitarist Gary Moore features on all tracks playing both guitar and synthaxe.

Although "Getcha Back" (composed by Love and his new musical partner, former Byrds producer Terry Melcher), was a top 30 hit, the album only reached #52 in the U.S. (making it their highest charting album since the release of 1976's album 15 Big Ones). After the album, CBS Records let the band's contract expire, leaving them without a record deal for the first time in years.

Brian Wilson contributed a song written in 1982 by himself and Dennis Wilson called "Oh Lord", but the song did not make the final cut. Also cut from the album was a cover of "At the Hop" with lead vocals by Mike Love.

10 voters sure new what they wanted.  

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

Tally on April 27th

Getcha Back
It's Gettin' Late
Crack at Your Love
Where I Belong
I Do Love You
It's Just a Matter of Time
Male Ego
I'm So Lonely

Round#1 - Passing Friend April 19
Round#2 - She Believes in Love Again April 21
Round#3 - California Calling April 23
Round#4 -Maybe I Don't Know April 25

I don't love I Do Love You... At all....

I'm So Lonely... Probably the one Brian Wilson Beach Boy song I don't appreciate on some level.
