Which BB song can you never hear too many times?  Which tune can you just never get enough of?


For me, it comes down to a 3-way tie:


IKTAA (that is, the tag - in my opinion, it's Brian's most beautiful sonic creation)

Here Today (more specifically, the backing track)

The Little Girl I Once Knew (the interplay between the organ and saxophones is exhilarating)

Cabin Essence. That backing track is phenomenal and the vocals in the fadeout are some of the Boys' best. I can listen to  that song anytime, any day.

For me, it's a tie between I Just Wasn't Made For These Times and Let Him Run Wild. The play count on those two are the highest of all the songs in my iTunes.

"It looks like I'm going to have to go bananas all by myself." -B.W.

"Dr. Landy and Brian Wilson are right out of a storybook." -Brian Wilson

"So maybe Beach Boys fans are stupid and we can dismiss the whole thing. But maybe that's a pretty snotty attitude to take; maybe something is happening here that we just ought to know about" -Paul Williams

"Brian is an enigma, a leprechaun," said rhythm guitarist Al Jardine.

"There ain't a rocketship powerfull enough to be able to blast Jeff's fat ass into space."-Mike's Beard

Don't Worry Baby, Sufer Girl and God Only Knows. Other great songs became boring o "skipable" at some point, but never these three.

Smile (TSS disc 1). Rarely a day goes by when I don't listen to at least some of it. My wife now hates it, my kids sing smile songs without realising it (son was singing You're Welcome yesterday). If I had to narrow it down to one song then I'd opt for TSS Heroes and Villains - It's like a sampler of Brian's best melodies and vocal arranging and never grows old for me. I think Linett and Boyd did a great job with the compiling and sequencing of this Smile and all attempts at mixing my own went out the window when it was finally released.

"Don't Worry Baby"----it manages to say so much with so few means. All the ingredients are there but stripped back to the essentials. The Boys' big "Less is More" moment...

"Help Me, Rhonda" single version and the instrumental track.

I love the chorus, Al's voice, and I love the blend. I definitely like the vocal sessions from the Murry meltdown.  Hearing the blend during the verses and the resolution into "... help me get her into my heaaaaart" make me want to cry almost. So beautiful.

Definitely one of my favorites to listen to when I'm feeling blue.

Hushabye.  Used to play it over and over again to the point my college roommates were ready to kill me.
