I think I have the other decades covered, but I feel like I must be missing some great material from the 90s. It's a very confusing era.

What's the deal with Sweet Insanity? Can I buy it? Or outtakes from it? Any tracks you recommend? I really like Love You and a few tracks from BW88 so I'm sure I'm missing something in those sessions...

And what about the "left over" sessions from that album? Like this one- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iSvmqhF-Hw

I've heard IJWMFTT and like it, though I prefer big production from Brian. Like Love and Mercy and There's So Many.

Is there anything good from Imagination?

If it's helpful here's my list of favorite BW/BB tracks. Let me know if you think I'm missing anything!! Smiley

Sweet Insanity is usually found easily enough online (if you know where to look) but much of it isn't worth the effort. Imagination is good but it's heavy on the adult contemporary side of things, and that's not usually what people associate with Brian. You could also try and track down what's known as "the Paley sessions;" some of it is great, some is meh.

Orange Crate Art is a bore, though. Avoid it.

If you like Brian's "big productions", here's some stuff you might dig:

"Don't Let Her Know She's an Angel"
"The Spirit of Rock & Roll"
"Country Feelin'"
 from Sweet Insanity (the rest of the songs are in the BW88 style, but can get a little too over the top for me)

"Chain Reaction of Love"
"This Song Wants to Sleep With You Tonight"
"Dancin' the Nights Away" (a Beach Boys outtake!)
"This Could Be The Night"
 from the Paley sessions

and with Imagination... it really depends on how much you can stand the production. I can't.

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.

You have a nice selection of favorites, but opinions of Brian's 90s music (as well as his other solo work, even this month's) vary (as you can already see). You really have to listen for yourself.  Smiley

But what's your rush? Part of the fun of being a new Brian Wilson or Beach Boys fan is exploring their catalog. It's not as if there are thousands of songs to wade through. You can't easily purchase unreleased material, but what YouTube doesn't have can usually be found by spending a few minutes with Google.

I would definitely include it, as well as the Wilson/Paley Sessions (and more). For example:

But let's not forget the journey! Wouldn't it be great to be able to begin again with Surfin' Safari?  Smiley

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Both the Sweet Insanity and Paley sessions are long overdue an official release.

I read your posts Mikie…

Got to agree with this… so many of my own favourite BW solo tracks come from their work together. I hope BW works with Andy again when he gets around to producing his rock and roll album (not the Chuck Berry/Buddy Holly one, y'know, that other one)… their faster stuff, well, rocks!

Don't Let Her Know She's An Angel is good, but the production and arrangement on Sweet Insanity are awful, as they are on the released version on GIOMH.

I Sleep Alone



I think the lyrics for this kinda suck, but I love the melody and the music!  Didn't Brian write this for a woman to sing?  I don't think it was ever released.  Here is Brian performing it on VH1:

Not from the Paley sessions. Co-written with Tony Asher in '96 and produced by Brian alone in a reunion with members of the Wrecking Crew.
