Yes. Keep the game going with at least live stuff and box sets (do them as they are, or one disc at a time - it would be fantastic!). We've Got to do the Solo albums...Dennis would win one of those. Do the Deluxe version, and he could win two! I would like to do one of the versions of Adult/Child, even if we leave out the tracks done so far. Example: I've listened to my 1984 vinyl copy twice in the past week. My choice for the version to use. It's like a real album to me. Bootlegs were very important back then pre-internet. Adult/Child and Landlocked (as it was known), for me, slips in just after Carl's Youngblood and before Beach Boys ('85). And it didn't screw with the chronology one bit. Thanks to the fact the boys were constantly putting old tracks on current records all the time. Something that I've noticed does bother some these days when discussing on Survivor Threads. I now think Mike's lead on "Calendar Girl" is my favorite version of this song ever. The only place you will find The Beach Boys version. Adult/Child does not deserve to be just an outtakes record. We need a placement for "Deep Purple" and others. "Mony Mony" rocks! Al puts a bit of Neil Young in his vocal on "On Broadway." Neat. Neil soon did his own version. Do you think he was doing his take on Al's vocal? Survivor is fun and gives us all something to do in lighter moments. And as this Thread points out we want our voices Heard! Damn It! Somewhere! Be it on the main board or sectioned off elsewhere. I know you (pixletwin) want to keep it going, as I found the very Thread the other day, where it was you who wanted to revive the game - though I can't find the first version. Was there a first version, or just a take-off on Rank the Tracks and the Album Threads? We may disagree (often), but in the end it's fun. (Didn't he already say that?)

EDIT: Folks of the future will notice I had to go in and modify every one of my posts in this Thread! Seems my use of the color beige has left my posts invisible now that the MODS have moved it over to the sandbox. Yes, this Thread is a casualty of the very topic it is about.
Glad that the Tread Survived, even if just here in this dumping ground. It was topical in it's day.
Now on to the new day...
Up early to have blood tests at 7am. One of them is fasting, so I'm functioning on coffee/no cream. Oh wait, there's a Tread for that over here somewhere in the sandbox.

EDIT EDIT: Since doing this post... Mr. Dennis Wilson has WON a Survivor Round!! This is sure to bring World Peace, and maybe, just maybe some peace to the Survivor Game. spread the word brothers and sisters...
