Nothing can save 'Til I Die at this point. Shame.

Oh well, my vote is for Good Vibrations.

Good Vibrations.

For no other reason, I guess, that it was the first Beach Boys song I consciously, knowingly listened to. And listened to. And listened to. When I was 12 I put it on my little boxed record player and set it up so it just played and played and played. I've been listening to it for 38 years now, often daily multiple times, and it's just part of my environment to the extent that I don't always consciously hear it any more. God Only Knows and Til I Die came a little later and my heads prick up at something "new".

So very personal subjective reasons and I can't even claim they're valid in this context.

But Vibes has my vote, essentially on over-familiarity grounds.

From a compositional perspective, "Good Vibrations" is the least interesting of the three so it gets my vote.

p.s. "Surf's Up" from the lp "Surf's Up" is my favorite BB song of all time for both music and lyrics with "'Til I Die" right behind it. "God Only Knows" musically is brilliant but IMHO is lyrically clumsy. But when it comes down to it, I would rather hear "Pitter Patter" over anything by Kanye West, Slipknot or Travis Tritt (for instance).

Good Vibrations.  I'm actually surprised Surf's Up didn't stick around to the end.  It usually makes the top two in song tournaments around these parts.

Maybe if the '71 version had made it through this far but, to me, TSS version lacks the same kazzam… Appreciate that many feel different but perhaps, if '71 SU had been the wild card instead of Vibes, it would also remain in the top three at this stage in the game.

Doubly surprised that 1) "Surf's Up" got eliminated (it was my favorite out of the ultimate survivor list), and that 2) "Till I Die" has made it this far.

So I'm voting off "Till I Die", as beautiful as it is.

TSS/Purple Chick's Surf's Up is what I was first introduced to and it's definitely my favourite incarnation of the song, I would've supported it till the end Cry.

Ah well, it's time for the rigor mortis to set in for 'Til I Die. It's knocked out too many a superior song at this point.

Me too. I expected that the final top 3 would be 1. God Only Knows, 2. Surf's Up, 3. Good Vibrations.

not voting against TID but it feels weird voting against one song that I may be voting for
after this round.

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

Considering all of Brian's talents as a singer, songwriter, arranger & producer, to choose a demo as the best he has ever done just doesn't sit well with me and why I was voting it off from the very beginning. But to each their own. Smiley

The Brianista Prayer

Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen.  ---hypehat
