Was looking over some O-L-D emails from 2005 when I can upon a request from Bob Hanes to name my top 5 fave tunes. I had never really thought about it before. Here was the list I gave him (after #1, the order isn't really important):
1. A Tie-Heroes And Villains (SMiLE version) / Do It Again 2. Surf's Up 3. Good Vibrations 4. God Only Knows 5. California Girls
The way I came to this conclusion back then was to think "What songs do I never skip on either the radio/CD. These were the ones. And I always liked H&V but was never crazy about it. Then the 1990 SS/WH CD came out with the cantina version and I was gone. That version kicks ass. Brian's vocal is so forceful. The release version sounds like someone being mellow and just kinda grooving on a joint.
Let's here what everyone else has on their list. All you OLD TIMERS like me jump in.
Bob

I would have to break it up into two categories. I have limited knowledge of the stuff from 67 on so far, but with the earlier music; Kiss Me Baby Let Him Run Wild Lonely Sea Our Prayer (is that before 67?) Wouldn't It Be Nice (just in case Our Prayer doesn't count) and ... I GET AROUND!!!!!!!!! From 67 on I like; All I Wanna Do Something beautiful I heard on a mix that I've never found again Another something beautiful I heard on the same mix that I've never found again Do It Again (if it fits in 67 or after, otherwise it doesn't rate in the list above.) Surfs Up There ya go. I've never seen a more simple or straightforward list of 5 before in my life.

That's Why God Made the Radio 12. Kokomo 13. Don't Worry Baby 14. Breakaway (alternate version) 15. Wouldn't it Be Nice What the heck, I'll do top 25. 16. The Little Girl I Once Knew 17.

The top 3 are pretty solid but have changed around in order over the years. The other rest of my top 10 changes a lot.
1. All This Is That 2. Do It Again 3. God Only Knows 4. Then I Kissed Her 5. It's OK
6. Darlin 7. From There To Back Again 8. Marcella 9. Cotton Fields / Cottonfields 10. The Trader
Oddly enough, very few songs from my favorite albums make the list above.
Favorite studio albums:
1. Friends 2. L.A. (Light Album) 3. Carl & The Passions - So Tough 4. Sunflower 5. 20/20 6. Surf's Up
