Your Favorite Mike Fast Songs and Favorite Brian Ballads?

[thr33]

Let's say we are creating a single LP compilation: Side A with Mike fast songs, Side B with Brian ballads.

Sticking to classic era Beach Boys (so through at latest say 68, though if you think the classic era ended earlier - as it's an ambiguous term - go with that).

Which songs do you think we have to include?

[Tony S]

Brian- Warmth of the Sun, Please let me Wonder, Caroline No, Lonely Sea, Don't Talk, Surf's Up.
Mike- Surfin USA, Little Honda, Fun Fun Fun, Dance Dance Dance, Little Duece Coup

Mikey- Rocking the Man in the Boat. Incredible tune

Brian- Caroline No

I remember and recite these WOW lyrics far more often than anything from Pet Sounds
Do remember children that thankfully Mike didn't write this fine example of Mr Positivity Poetry  
It really is like the Soundtrack to a 2nd rate 1970's German Porn Film

Have you heard? She's back in town
They say the man that she loved was messing around
That didn't please her
So she's starting all over again

She's got the situation well in hand
She's in no hurry for just any man
She ain't worried
She's a real sensation at taking care of what she needs

And she'll be rockin' the man in the boat (rockin' the man in the boat)
Rockin' the man in the boat (rockin' the man)
Humming and strumming the tune that she wrote
'Cause she'll be rockin' the man in the boat

Late at night she's all alone
Turn down the lights and unplug the phone
She's got the feeling
She's gonna start reeling it in

Some nights she's let me know
You know the cat's in the cradle, she's runnin' the show
Higher and higher, up and down and all around
Roller coaster out of control

And she'll be rockin' the man in the boat (rockin' the man in the boat)
Rockin' the man in the boat (rockin' the man)
Humming and strumming the tune that she wrote
'Cause she'll be rockin' the man in the boat

(Feels so good) Just like she knew it would
(Feels so fine) She's finally crossing over the line

I'm watching her day by day
Blow by blow and play by play
Telescope love
How long can I go on this way?

You know I'd love to lend a helping hand
You're such a good singer, let me join in your band
She don't need it, she's her own sensation
She don't need it, got a good vibration (ASSASSINATION)
She don't need it, be no imitation at taking care of what she needs
