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! Vote for your LEAST FAVORITE TRACK!!! Tally on August 20 Love and Mercy Walkin' the Line Melt Away Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long Little Children One for the Boys There's So Many Night Time Let it Shine Meet Me in My Dreams Tonight Rio Grande Walkin' The Line. I can't stand Brian's vocals on this one. Probably the only BW song (officially released) that is embarrassing to listen to.

Let It Shine.
I struggled for many years with Walkin' The Line; especially the opening arrangement of each verse (Iiiiii walk the liiine.., and that harmonica or whatever lick) but over the years I've grown to quite enjoy it.

Night Time is definitely not delight time, nor star light time, and it's not the right time for me

I'm gonna echo "Night Time." I'm surprised by all the people who don't like "Walkin' the Line." To me it is one of the better songs on the album. Great craftmanship--an expertly constructed song.

It's hard because I like most of the tracks about the same.

Night Time is dislike time.
Could those who decry One For The Boys elaborate? Is it hearing a wall of Brians where the other Beach Boys ought to be that grates, or do you just not like the song? It's one of my favourites on the record and I find it a teasing glimpse into what a half-decent '80s Beach Boys album might have been like.
