a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LISTTo sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.- Jack Rieley

'Pet Sounds' was seen as "uncommercial", yet it has more US top 40 singles than any other Beach Boys album and it was their highest charting studio album ever in the UK.

Have any other bands relocated to another country to record just one album?
That happens all the time. Ok, but what about building their own studio in or near a barn to record an album? Didn't this also happen for the KTSA album? or was that just Al's barn? |

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 |

There's one song on '20/20' that was written by someone who's been convicted of murdering someone with his own hands. And it's not 'Never Learn To Love', but 'Cotton Fields'!

I hope Jim Gordon didn't play drums on 20/20. What a trifecta that would be.  |

He probably most certainly did!!!!!
A thought just came to me!!! What if Polanski got extradited to LA and somehow ended up at the same prison as Manson???

The most famous "I'mma make you my bitch" situation in history. Once Polanski would get his hands on Manson, all bets would be off. |

Let's also not forget what might be the most famous pre-20th century musician involved in a murder - Don Carlo Gesualdo. He wrote madrigals in between murdering his adulterous wife and her lover.

Trivia question. Or maybe world record question. Which song has Mike love performed the most times? I t has to br approaching 10,000 time for at least a couple of songs. Medleys don't count.

Surfin' Safari would be my guess. No stats to back-up but his lead, lyric and from early in their career, 1962. edit Dang.... After a quick look at Erics setlist site I am now backing Surfin USA.  |

I think we're talking about hardcore Mike leads!
If this is the case, I'd say California Girls all the way!!!!

Yeah I'd say Surfin' USA but of course there's no way of knowing exactly. Might even be Fun, Fun, Fun? But I'd still bet on Surfin' USA.

"SUSA" has a two year drop on "CG" ! That's maybe 150-200 gigs. |

Here's a trivia question: How many cover songs did the group play as part of their regular setlists? Barbra Ann comes to mind, off the top of my head. Student Demonstration Time, doesn't count, since it's a cover song with totally original lyrics by Mike(?). Now, the original version, Riot In Cell Block #9 does count.

Goode What'd I Say Surf City Little GTO Happy Birthday Long Tall Texan Duke Of Earl Why Do Fools Fall In Love Imagine Sloop John B The Little Old Lady From Pasadena Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring Back In The USSR Jumpin' Jack Flash A Casual Look Rock And Roll Music Runaway Buzz Buzz Buzz Okee From Muskogee School Days Shortenin' Bread Peggy Sue Come Go With Me California Dreamin' Under The Boardwalk Hushabye Summertime Blues Do You Wanna Dance You Are So Beautiful Rockin' All Over The World I Can Hear Music I Write The Songs  |

I'd say that Barbara Ann has been played the most, followed by Sloop John B. Rock and Roll Music and I Can Hear Music might be the next two. Mike and Bruce have made Do You Wanna Dance a staple in recent years.

Are you referring to the Mike and Bruce era of the band? |

I suppose  To be honest, I was just skimming through the recent posts and didn't read the second sentence. But even so, he could have been referring solely to Do You Wanna Dance when he said that.  |
