You are of course utterly correct. Was in a foul, defensive mood when i posted the above following a discussion that became an argument with a poor-quality-music-loving friend.

Up until a few weeks ago I always considered 'The Warmth Of The Sun' to be an overrated song as I had listened to it dozens of times without it making much of an impact on me, then one night after consuming a 'jazz fag' it's brilliance finally hit me and I sat there in pure blissfull joy as the wonderul arrangement and harmonies swept me away. True story.

Love You is fucking great. Brian Wilson could sh*t out something more creative than all of us. Personally, I've never been into "Trader", "Rock N Roll Music" (I love the original Berry and The Beatles versions though) and "Heaven".
Trader I can at least listen to but it seems to drag on a bit without much going on. RNRM is the pinnacle of Mike being some sloppy Mick Jagger clusterfuck but, I gotta admit I love the background vocals. Even though Heaven is on Carl's 1981 solo album The BB's played it live in the early 80's. It has some moments but overall it's manufactured 80's crap.

I'm sure fans on fan sites for other bands don't spend there entire time talking about what they
don't
like about the bands in question.

Was just about to post my list of overrated BBs songs, only to see I've already done it. Completely forgot about this thread & writing such a flat-out nonsense:

Girls on the Beach - beautiful singing but images are bad. Hate it when various girls in bikinis come to mind while listening this song. Thanks to American Band doc-ry for such association;)
Seriously, what have images got to do with liking or disliking a song? 1st, & 2ndly, "Girls on the Beach" is by no means overrated as it didn't chart, is not one of their more popular numbers & never the concert staple, going by Eric's site.

You can't be serious! Without the overlined ones that would be a very awesome BB compilation.
For me the overrated ones are propably:
Surfin' U.S.A.
California Girls
Barbara Ann
'Til I Die (yes, I said it. I love the song, but I just think that it's better on paper. Lyrics are the best thing Brian ever wrote. But the studio version is missing edge and emotion and it could have been much better IMO.)

I think "Good Timin'" is pretty overrated, it sounds Beach-Boys-by-numbers to me and a half-baked attempt at that. It's one of those songs that never gets going and ends before you figure it will begin to get interesting.

Nothin'. It's just that when I see people hatin' on Surfin' U.S.A., I go berserk. It is a perfect recording and it made them famous. It made them a million bucks!! You are the guy from Hawrthorne High who gives the surfin' composition an F, Except it already made a million bucks and you are STILL giving it an F -- after the fact. You have a tin ear.
Calling Surfin USA overrated is biting the hand that feeds. the breakthrough that made it all happen.
Calling a song overrated really doesn't have to do with it being perfect nor do I think the poster was saying that he hated it. I think he was just saying that it's an overrated song by the main listening public just like Barbara Ann and Fun, Fun, Fun. Of the three, I prefer SUSA, but as the three are often plays as encores at Beach Boys/solo/related shows, I just assume hear a solo minor hit or Still Cruisin' or Rock and Roll to the Rescue or even It's OK.
