"Love And Mercy" must go. I never use it on any of my BW comps but I always include the other 3 songs.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

Must be the fuzz bass that makes it almost kind of rock a tiny bit.

I can't believe "Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight" is gone.  I will vote for "Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long" this round.

Although L&M would get my vote, to provide further protection for the best song and recording of Brian's entire solo career (which of course is the sublime "Melt Away"), I will vote for:

Brian on why he loves God Only Knows: "Because Paul McCartney said it was his favourite song"

Brian Wilson is the eponymous debut solo album by Brian Wilson released in July 1988 on Sire Records. Working with an array of collaborators including his therapist Eugene Landy, Wilson accordingly themed the album around love and spirituality exemplified by its lead single "Love and Mercy". Although the album's sessions were contentious, where some participants demanded a progressive artistic statement versus conventional pop songs, nearly a quarter of the LP is devoted to "Rio Grande", a piece which was intended to rekindle Wilson's experimental drive from the mid 1960s and early 1970s.
It was voted one of the best albums of 1988 by NME, and as part of its acclaim, garnered the nickname "Pet Sounds '88" among some critics.Brian Wilson has since been reissued on several different formats with bonus tracks, and cited by some as a standout in Wilson's solo oeuvre.

The album is on Spotify!

Baby, you were around too long. (16)

FINAL THREE!!! Vote for your FAVORITE TRACK!!!

Tally on September 10th

Love and Mercy
Melt Away
Rio Grande

Round#1 - Night Time August 20
Round#2 - Walkin' the Line August 22
Round#3 - Little Children August 24
Round#4 - One for the Boys August 26
Round#5 - Let it Shine August 30
Round#6 - There's So Many
Round#7 - Meet Me in My Dreams Tonight September 4
Round#8 - Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long September 8

Rio Grande is great n all... but I do feel that it is just a wee bit overrated.

Love And Mercy is great, but the slick production on this version just kills it for me (in a bad way).

My favorite has to be Melt Away. I remember hearing this song for the first time and thinking "Hey Brian is still in there somewhere!"

Melt Away, which will win, has never been my cup of tea. Always skip it.

Rio Grande has it's moments like Night Bloomin' Jasmine, but yeah, a bit overrated.

So, Love and Mercy is my pick, though Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight & Baby, Let Your Hair Grow Long are by a wide margin, my two favorite tracks.
