To add to the Happiest and Saddest songs how about the most annoying ?

Little Children is at the top of my list.

I guess it's a fandom thing too, I mean I could happily never hear Fun, Fun, Fun or I Get Around or Surfin' U.S.A. - and naturally, Kokomo - for the rest of my life. Nature of the fan to wish those spots were taken up with lesser-known classics. Familiarity breeds contempt and all that. But I guess that's side-stepping the point a little. Even Hey Little Tomboy, Smart Girls and Wrinkles are weird and idiosyncratic enough to warrant interest, even if it is largely rooted in scorn. What annoys me as a fan are the played out hits that can be easily re-rendered with little feeling or effort. But - of course I know they're there because they're crowd pleasers. And hey, when you're there in the crowd it's easy to get swept up in them.

Did I have a point?

Student demonstration time and most of the SIP cd...as far as how the songs are mixed.. and those strange comedy tracks they had on their early albums...especially the one on "Today" (Bull sessions) that one doesn't even make any sense.. and most of the surfin instrumentals on the "Surfin USA" album...

It's the 3rd door down the hall...on your right.

GAWD!!! I loathed THAT.  Especially released, as it was, HOT on the heals of the Kingsmen reinventing the song and making it EVER-SO cool. Cool Guy  And it futher, then, 'qualified' as a "Best of" song HOW??? Razz.  Damn!!!

[Yet the original Richard Berry version sounds just FINE.]


And then to further FILL the album [SD-V2] with Denny's Drums... Drum  If 'they'da put Keep An Eye On Summer on side one along with Pom Pom Playgirl...and dropped Cassius vs. Sonny onto side 2... Shocked ...

One of the weakest early albums.  Looee Looee still annoys with a vengence...51 FULL years later. Angry

Me gotta go.

I think listeners feel could be because Mike Love's nasal vocal delivery does not sit well with the filter Desper puts him in (that makes him sound like he is talking through a megaphone).  He sounds so nasally that it annoys people... including me.

It's a low spot for me on the album. Never really liked it. Same goes with Don't Go Near the Water.

I agree SDT is a low point on Surf's Up. DGNTW, on the other hand, has alwys been one of my faves. Great backing track and some wonderful singing, especially on the coda.

Very few annoying songs in the catalog. Those are two that pop into my head (I know that one is unreleased).

For me, Bluebirds Over the Mountain. I always skipt that one! Nothing even remotely interesting about it and the production makes it sound pretty annoying overall.

Also, Belles of Paris. (I do like Bells of Christmas, however!)

Wouldn't It Be Nice is super fuckin' annoying.


It's so well written, catchy, and with such great production that it's constantly overplayed and mentioned any time some plebeian music fan mentions favorite Beach Boys songs.

NOT a joke Kook.  The Beach Boys bothering to record it and release it in early 1964...10 minutes after the Kingsmen took it to the top was a joke.  To go back and try to Richard Berrify it was not a good idea.  It was...as the thread suggests...annoying.  VERY annoying.  And 2 1/2 years later...there it was being annoying all over again. Angry

The ONLY reason they recorded it was Brian did NOT have enough new songs to release another album right then. The Beatles and the British Invasion were just exploding and someone/somewhere felt they needed to rush release some kind of 'line of defence'?  Not good enough.  Fun x3 was all the line they needed THAT day.  It was important to sound cool and ready, willing and able.  You know...move forward with something capable of contending with.  duh duh duh/Duh Duh.  didn't accomplish THAT.

DUH!!! Wink

The version of Bluebirds Over The Mountain from the 1983 Rarities album with that loud TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK percussion. Drives me looney tunes! The normal version from 20/20 doesn't bug me in the least, I like it quite fine. I just cannot deal with the Rarities version. Also Everyone's In Love With You annoys me too.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Neither do I, instead I find both "The Private Life Of Bill And Sue" and "Summer Of Love" unlistenable.

To my ears it starts with Berry's version, moves to The Kingsmen's (my all-time favourite record) and then back to Berry's.

All i can think of right now as being... well, more embarrassing than annoying, is the cringeworthy argument at the start of "The TM Song".
