Wouldn't consider some of these deep cuts.  "Sail On Sailor", "Warmth of the Sun", "Darlin", and "Let Him Run Wild" are songs I'd expect casual fans to know.  I knew all those songs before I was a super fan.

The fact that many of these songs are considered obscure deep cuts is kinda sad...

"Darlin'" got quite a bit of popularity when it was played on The Big Bang Theory, as well as it's inclusion in Sounds Of Summer, so i wouldn't consider that a "deep cut".

The guy that wrote the bios to each song entry LOVES the Beach Boys.

The fact that many of these are considered deep cuts isn't sad, it shows that they had a gajillion memorable hits up on the surface.

I wouldn't even consider most of these songs deep cuts to be honest.  Warmth of the Sun, Darlin, Sail on Sailor?  There's so many other gems buried in Beach Boys albums that have never appeared on any kind of best of or greatest hit compilation. 

Although, All I Wanna Do is a nice addition.

Not that it matters, as these Top 10 lists are at best just a fun curio and at absolute worst just click bait, but I don't think "Darlin'" is a deep cut by any measure. It appears on "Sounds of Summer", and was performed at most live shows from about 1968 until 1998. If you went to a BB concert in the last 20-25 years of Carl's life and Carl was at the show, they probably performed "Darlin'." That track has always seemed to be more of a "moderate hit that should have or could have been a bigger hit."

I think, in trying to put oneself in the position of a "casual" fan, a "deep" cut could be anything that isn't on the most common hits comps (Endless Summer, Sounds of Summer) and/or wasn't regularly performed in concert over the years. I suppose most of the rest outside of "Darlin'" could fit this bill.

It's difficult to say. "The Warmth of the Sun" and "Let Him Run Wild" are both on "Endless Summer", but were not often performed in concert (especially the latter).

"Sail on Sailor" is kind of one of the only somewhat well-known (to the masses) 70s track, and was sporadically performed in concert.

IJWMFTT was obviously not a concert staple nor a single nor on hits compilations, but "Pet Sounds" is so well known (and endlessly repackaged) that I'm not sure how "deep" of a cut something could be from that album.

But, as a "Songs that casual fans who might show up to a Beach Boys concert and know the car and surf hits" list, I think this list is fine and makes enough sense outside of "Darlin'"

My disqualifications from "deep cut" status would include having charted (Darlin', Warmth of the Sun, Sail on Sailor) or been on Endless Summer (Let Him Run Wild).

Would have really loved to have seen FTTBA or Summer's Gone. Maybe that's just too deep...

Interesting thread.
In our discography web page http://beachboyslegacy.com/ we have labeled those "deep cuts" as "gems". For us, the definition would be: "A lesser known track, but generally considered by Beach Boys aficionados as great or underrated, despite never entering the charts."
We have identified all the Gems of each Beach Boys and Solo albums, but we can revise or add more songs.

We will add some Gems mentioned here that are not in our site Wink

Everyone's list is equally superb! And no band besides the Beatles has given us so many gems!

Mine, to throw in the mix, is "Steamboat".

I would add Only with You. Other personal favorites have already been mentioned here, but of the mid and later years, I think the most overlooked are All This is That, Angel Come Home, and hands down Where I Belong........which for the life of me I can't realize how this song has been so overlooked.

Sorry but Darlin' CAN'T qualify as a "deep cut" when it was a top 40 hit.  Sail On Sailor?  Close to being THAT as well.  Songs contained on greatest hits packages are hardly DEEP CUTS.  Rolling Stone comes up ever-so-short yet again.  Who did they poll? ...people 24 and younger?  I say that as the listening experience seems limited.  Or did they even really do a valid poll?

Farmers Daughter
Hawaii
Ballad of Ol' Betsy
Keep An Eye On Summer
All Summer Long
Good To My Baby
Don't Talk...Put Your Head on My Shoulder
Let the Wind Blow
Little Bird
Time to Get Alone
Add Some Music to Your Day...[surprise surprise]
Long Promised Road
All This is That
The Trader
Had To Phone Ya
Kona Coast
Sunshine
Somewhere Near Japan

There's 18 more...[I limited myself to 1 song MAX per album starting with Surfin' USA]...not mentioned in the article, if memory serves, which are at the very least deserving of consideration both for their depth and for their outstandingness.

as usual RollingStone comes up with a list that doesn't quite foot the bill, but at least they're giving some love and webspace to some of the Beach Boys' lesser known classics. and that's pretty cool if you ask me
