Adam, I too like Rock and Roll to the Rescue.    I just wish Brian could have been in better vocal form at the time.  That particular variety of his vocal style, of the different voices he has presented over the years, is least pleasant of all, from his sweeet falsetto to his gruff voice circa 15 BO and Love You, to his current singing voice.  It sounds like the Paley era voice....which I didn't care for.   
I agree.  As the boys trade off vocals, Brian's stick out like a sore thumb on this song.  I also wish they had had some sort of instrumental intro to the song. It kind of starts too abruptly for my taste.  But I still love the song.

Adamghost argues most eloquently...I'd like to plagiarise some of his thoughts on Mike Love and apply them to others on other boards....

SIP....I'm glad I heard it....but it's terrible. I definitely would never play it for anyone. By the way, serious rock fans who don't get or like the Beach Boys--it's because of albums like that and that whole image that I guess must have really taken off in the eighties.

But I don't think it should be buried. It's all part of the crazy f***ed up history of the Beach Boys...From Surfin' Safari, to PetSounds to Sunflower, to 15 Big Ones, to fragmentation to SIP...man they are one weird band. Can you think of another band that has so much sh*t and so much brilliance?

R and R To The Rescue should have been an Al/Carl show on lead. Not saying it would be a hit, but would have sounded better.

RRTTR has so much going for it.  Least of all Brian's vocal.

But, to each his own.

Of course, he's also rhymed "vibrations" with "assassinations"...

LMFAO
Mike didn't write that song.

Ah, you're right.  He might as well have.   Afro

Six pages on and no one noticed the fact that the thread title is a contradictio in terminis?

Notice any shots of Brian in this. See how unimpressed he is? I got a bad vibe from that everytime I see this video. He even looks kinda angrily at Mike at 2:45. :-O Brian was probably only there for contractual reasons.

I love this song. I even have the 12" single, as well as the picture sleeve 45. I was surprised it didn't do as well in the charts.

It has everything. Bad direction, continuity errors, fake breasts, about six elderly men doing some ham acting in the midst of girls that, given their uniform red clothing, are from North-Korea, and David Hasselhoff. Top that.

For a long, long time, contractual reasons was the only reason Brian was there.

And, Brian wasn't angry with Mike; he was upset because they couldn't perform "Water Builds Up" or "Smart Girls", and, he was roasting in the LEATHER jacket he wore to the beach! police

I believe that is the single most offensive, embarrasing thing the Beach Boys ever did. Yes there are some honorable mention ones, you're absolutely right, everything is BAD!

The music videos for Summer of Love, Hot Fun in the Summertime, and Crocodile Rock were all far worse.

Sort of like debating which puddle of urine smells the worst, though. Doesn't really matter much who wins (or loses).

hey I loved Crocodile Rock. It shows the guys having fun. Or at least trying to fake it. It beats them standing so stiff at the microphones lip-synching to their hits.

I meant anything connected to Summer of Love as being the worst.  I like the vocals on Crocodile Rock

I'm sure Adrian Baker sang on Crocodile Rock. Sounds like him anyway - and if so it's a link to SIP.

If you use that logic, almost anything we talk about on this board is a link to Summer in Paradise.

It was more a reference to the sound of Adrian's voice on CR and such as Still Surfin'.
