I think I'm gonna go with PCH.  It was the song that moved me most when I initially played the album.  The only thing that makes me reluctant is that is almost not a song, but a coda to FTTBA as pixletwin points out.  And I guess FTTBA has more to it to enjoy as you listen to it more and more.

But PCH is still so moving despite anything else.

To be honest anything will be a worthy winner at this stage.  Can't we just crown 'The Suite' as winner?  JT did say in an interview that dividing it into tracks was somewhat arbitrary anyway, right?

Summer's Gone.  If it is indeed the last song on the last Beach Boys album, they nailed it.

When i first got the album i thought Summers Gone was my initial favorite.  However as time has gone by i have found myself liking From There to Back again the most.  What a GREAT Song.  Best BB tune in like 30+ years.

Brian is indeed back.

Summer's Gone doesn't quite land the emotional punch it's going for - From There to Back Again certainly does though. Smiley

Horrible autotune almost makes way sway towards PCH but FTTBA pips it.

Summer's Gone. If this really is the last Beach Boys album, then this is the perfect ending!

Regretably, I won't go From There To Back Again - a beautiful piece but I've always been a bit 50/50 about the - babada baba ba bada broadway show bit just before the mighty Al makes with the whistlin';


I've really come to appreciate Summer's Gone - initially thought it was a good closer, and in time it's become one of my favs.

But my vote goes to PCH - blows me away today as much as when I first heard it; subtle hints of Denny (just IMHO), pretty compelling tune.

"From There to Back Again" is absolutely wonderful and may well be the best composition on the LP.

But "Summer's Gone" is my absolute favorite and is the best at giving me that deep, visceral experience of connection and longing that very good art engenders.

"Summer's Gone," it is.
