Welcome back, one and all, to the second thread of the Beach Boys Solo Survivor. The Solo Survivors are going to tackle the main solo albums of members of the Beach Boys. This will not include solo albums released prior to membership in the Beach Boys. This will also not include works done by members who were participating in different groups (ie David Marks in The Moon or The Marksmen) nor will it include "Best Of" albums or rehash albums (ie Summertime Cruisin' by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston will not be included. This also means we will not be including Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE or I Just Wasn't Made For These Times.) Lastly, we will not be including EP's or Unreleased Albums. Some of the Solo Survivor albums may be hard to come across. Smilers are encouraged to locate legal copies of the solo albums. I expect these rounds to go quicker with less voting than normal. No big deal. So without further ado... Going Public is Beach Boys member Bruce Johnston's third and final solo album, and the only one recorded after becoming a member of the band. It was released in 1977 under Columbia Records. Bruce proves to the world what Beach Boys fans have known from the get-go: namely, he hasn't a rock 'n' roll bone in his body. Per the usual, vote for your LEAST FAVORITE TRACK. The track with most votes will be voted off. Tally on July 17th. If you can bring yourself to vote. I Write the Songs Deidre Thank You Baby Rendezvous Won't Somebody Dance with Me Disney Girls Rock and Roll Survivor Don't Be Scared Pipeline I don't own this album and it doesn't appear to be available on youtube. So I will only be a caretaker in this thread. Enjoy! |

It's on Spotify, probably the easiest way to access it.

I vote Won't Somebody Dance With Me. A horrfic song.
As a side note I really like the rest of this album; don't get why it's ragged on so much.

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

Won't Somebody Dance with Me
And while not great, Bruce's version of I Write the Songs is easily the best thing here as far as I'm concerned. Being mostly just his voice and the keyboard keeps his tacky production choices at bay.

Bruce had the ability to make a better album than this. Seems like he could have come up with something along the lines of Garfunkel's BREAK AWAY had he pushed himself. GOING PUBLIC is a lazy listless album.

The whole album belongs in the garbage...after being set on fire. Worst BB solo album IMHO, by far.

To view my video documentation of my Beach Boys collection go to www.youtube.com/justinplank "Someone needs to tell Adrian Baker that imitation isn't innovation." -The Real Beach Boy ~post of the century~ "Well, you reached out to me too, David, and I'd be more than happy to fill Bgas's shoes. You don't need him anyway - some of us have the same items in our collections as he does and we're also much better writers. Spoiled brat....." -Mikie "in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead |

Won't Somebody Dance With Me I'm saddened at the exclusion of Blondie Chaplin's 1977 solo album, especially considering it fits all the criteria to be included  |
