You have 10 Albums…..

[Outtasight!]

Haha, so now....which will you cull and never hear again?

I can't do it. They are all essential. If pushed All Summer Long. Gershwin's missed the list. Tough choices!

[Hot Rod]

in no particular order:

That lucky old sun
Smiley smile
Friends
Sunflower
Today
All summer long
Pet sounds
Surfer girl
That's why god made the radio
Holland

[Half Moon Bay]

This is my first post so please be gentle!

Today
Pet Sounds
No Pier Pressure (18 track version)

Holland
The Smile sessions (2cd) can this be included? If not BWPS.

That's why the thread is called "You have 10 albums..." and not "You have 10 albums to force on everyone else." Y'dig.

1. Pet Sounds
2. The Smile Sessions (1 disc version)
3. Today!
4. Sunflower
5. Friends
6. Love You
7. Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)
8. That Lucky Old Sun
9. All Summer Long
10. Shut Down Volume II

1-7 was easy. 8-10 was super difficult and many albums could have made the cut instead of the ones listed. Usually depends on my mood.

As a BBs zealot I sold my LPs of 15big ones, MIU, Light album and KTSA. Theyre thrown together collections of outtakes and rewrites...nowhere on the same level as their 63-73 output, those were perfect albums, esp-surfer girl-all summer long-today-summer days-pet sounds-wild honey and sunflower. Lil deuce coupe, shut down vol2 and 20/20 were/are killer too.

But now another person has to suffer through these even though they're just collections of outtakes.

No zealot sells part of their canon because they are collections and rewrites. Hell, my DCC Endless Summer and Spirit of America comps are important to me for sound, as well as being part of their release history. Did you sell off any treadwear too? They are just collections of songs and studio banter too. Just my opinion, of course.

[The Cincinnati Kid]

Today
Summer Days/Nights
Smile (TSS disc one)
