Don't Back Down
5. Punky indeed! Love everything about this short rocker, the fuzz-tone, the great lead by Mike, the forceful backing vocals, and the over all catchiness. I'm a punk rock fan and I always wished The Ramones would've covered this song (I know the Queers covered it but I never liked them...)

Pure perfection of their surf/hot rod era, except for OFLS. 5.

One of their purest albums. Pretty well flawless, I'd say.
5.

Had never heard this before.
Listening to the first part, I was going to give it a 3, but then it got a lot more interesting in the middle section.
Found myself humming a tune to it, sort of combining TWGMTR and a couple of other songs.
Yes, I'd also like to know if Brian had put a melody/vocal to this yet.

After All Summer Long we're supposed to do the Christmas Album, but to me it's pretty weird to discuss Christmas songs in the middle of summer, so we'll discuss Today! next. We'll save Christmas album for the Christmas.
◎The Beach Boys Today!(1965)
1. Do You Wanna Dance?
2. Good To My Baby
3. Don't Hurt My Little Sister
4. When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)
5. Help Me, Ronda [Album Ver.]
6. Dance, Dance, Dance
7. Please Let Me Wonder
8. I'm So Young
9. Kiss Me, Baby
10. She Knows Me Too Well
11. In the Back of My Mind
12. Bull Session with "Big Daddy"
[Non-Album Tracks]

The recent stereo mix of this song is my favorite version. The guitar riff during the chorus really pops in this version, Dennis has some great reverb vocals. The bass is powerful but doesn't drown out the rest of the music.
Dennis is perfect for this lead - kinda punk rock before that was even a thing. I implore anyone here who hasn't heard the recent Live In Chicago 1965 album to check out track 2 on disc 2...the guys absolutely nail this song.
5/5, perfect way to start off an album, especially Today!.

FIVE. Dennis is note perfect. So is his double tracking on the vocals. Best rendition of this song. (The Ramones definitely have the 2nd best version).

This is one of several versions I like. That said, none of the others comes close to the tidal wave of sound in the chorus of this one. And the solo is sublime. A great start to the album. 5.

I love the percussion and guitar playing in this one. Mike’s bass vocal is perfect for this track too. I’m putting it at 4/5 just relatively based on the rest of the album...Brian sets the bar so high that a gem like this isn’t even one of the best on the album.

Good To My Baby
FIVE. Great everything here. Mike's bass vocal, Brian's awesome lead, rockin' guitars, catchy as heck. (I loved hearing this live in 2016.)

Ill give it five as well. In a way, it's the album's Cinderella. It's kind of dwarfed by everything going on around it but it's a magnficent track in its own right. The opening bars are pure BW genius!

Ha! Is it joke? "Good To My Baby" "dwarfed by everything"? It's the best track in album! I listen to it & add to playlists which isn't case even for the beautiful "She Knows Me Too Well", favorite Side B song.
5 5's it gets.

FOUR. Great song, not as outstanding as the rest of the rockers on Side 1 but it's still a great upbeat tune with cool guitar, great lead and harmonies.
