Roller Skating Child is one of my very favourite rock songs from the guys. Some Live versions of Still Cruisin' rocks too!

Let Us Go On This Way is a heavy rocker, relatively speaking.

How 'bout "City Blues"? Does that qualify?

Roller Skating Child is one of my very favourite rock songs from the guys. Definitely; there's a lot going on in there, especially some great guitar. The whole first side rocks, actually. The Beach Boys Rock You! |

Live versions of I Get Around and Hawaii, circa 1964 are pretty good, like the TAMI Show or the Lost Concert. Surfin '92 is pretty hard, but in a bad way.

To view my video documentation of my Beach Boys collection go to www.youtube.com/justinplank "Someone needs to tell Adrian Baker that imitation isn't innovation." -The Real Beach Boy ~post of the century~ "Well, you reached out to me too, David, and I'd be more than happy to fill Bgas's shoes. You don't need him anyway - some of us have the same items in our collections as he does and we're also much better writers. Spoiled brat....." -Mikie "in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead |

I think my Palisades Park wins this discussion because you can actually hear one of the Beach Boys (Dennis) exclaiming right in the middle of the song that "We're cookin' so hard, I can hardly stand it". At least that's what I think he is saying. I'll take his suggestion as gospel.

Yeah, but you can actually hear Dennis cookin' hard at the end of the studio version of "All I Want To Do"...  |

Palisades park is an awesome BB's song. Much better than the original! The original is so fast and hyped up it can't be appreciated properly, the reworked BB's song is just rockin! I love the drums on it. |

I love the drums on it. With the possible exception of "It's OK", I always felt "Palisades Park" was the best song on 15 Big Ones. I realize they had to release an original song, "It's OK", as a single after "Rock And Roll Music", but I thought "Palisades" had hit single potential. If anything, it proved that Brian could still produce great songs, and add that little special "something" that only he could add... |

Its Getting Late and Maybe I Don't Know (already mentioned) from The Beach Boys (85) are decent rockers belted out by Carl Wilson if you like that 80's sound.
Love you has some "heavy" stuff in Roller Skating Child and Lets Go On This Way.
Keepin the Summer Alive, title cut.
In Concert and some of the live material from Endless Harmony kick pretty good.
Personally, I like to alternate soft with harder on my compilations.

Thanks for all the ideas - it seems that the production is important, IMO after Carl and the Passions, the rock numbers suffered a bit.
Let Us Go On This Way, for example, great track, could have been dealt with a number of ways... The version on "Love You" isn't too bad, the synths actually rock more than what I have to describe as the "Old Fart Boogie" style on 15 Big Ones and BB '85. So if the band had applied their then-current production techniques to the rockier tracks on Love You, I'm sure it would have turned them to cheese.
I still think some of these songs could've sounded like the Stooges if they had racked it up a notch. Did they ever play Let Us Go On This Way live? And was it recorded ?

"Little Honda" (the originally released version) comes immediately to mind. Oddly, the alternative version rocks a lot less, thanks to the more melodic backing vocals in the chorus.

Cabinessence chorus is really heavy. Not in a rocking way, but it weighs a ton. Multiple tons. Like a huge steam engine.

I know it's never been released, but Oh Those Girls has a bit of hard guitar in it. Sorta. It's not Motorhead but it's sure not Air Supply either. btw All I Want To Do is hands down the hardest rocking Beach Boys song ever...live or studio.

The live It's About Time on the Made in California boxset is about as good as it gets for the Beach Boys as a hard rock act IMO.
