[Lee Marshall]

1.  Cabinessence
2.  God Only Knows
3.  Good Vibrations
4.  Little Bird
5.  Warmth of the Sun
6.  Feel Flows
7.  Time to Get Alone
8.  'Til I Die
9.  This Whole World
10.  Add Some Music to Your Day  
--------------------------------------------------------------
1.  There are at least 15 other songs which belong in my top 10... ... ...probably 20.  [if not 30 if the truth be told]

2.  We should make a similarly listed compilation for albums.

3.  How is it that I didn't have enough room to include, Surf's Up?  Or Only With You ['our' wedding song].  What?!?!?   No Let the Wind Blow or I Know There's an Answer?  Then there's Ol' Betsy.  [It's a ballad ya know], No Go Showboat, River Song, Pacific Coast Highway/Summer's Gone,  Sail On Sailor, All This is That, Forever, Country Air, Our Sweet Love, All Summer Long, Don't Talk, Don't Worry Baby, Keep An Eye on Summer and I'm Waiting For the Day plus I Went to Sleep and Busy Doin' Nothing.  They're all Top 10 as our many of the original top 40/50 hits...but perhaps I take them for granted as they've been played so many times.  Fun Cubed, Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl, I Get Around, California Girls, Sloop John B and Wouldn't It Be Nice alongside Darlin', Friends and of course Heroes and Villains...although the Our Prayer/Gee/Heroes and Villains combo seems to be the best way to appreciate the whole '9'.  Oh...I forgot to mention In My Room...albeit a 'B' side but Wow!!!  I also like He Come Down more than you might believe...but it would likely only make my top 11...Just like Long Promised Road, The Trader, I'd Love Just Once to See You,  and Slip on Through, It's About Time...or Maybe Had to Phone Ya.  Oh piss!!!  I forgot to include the original version of Here Comes the Night.   And Sunshine...can't forget Sunshine from Keepin' the Summer Alive.  VERY underated bit of fun.  And their recreations of Hushabye and Why Do Fools Fall in Love are both close to perfect too.   So that's my top 10.

I guess I better start thinking about my l.p. list NOW!!!  Which 10 would I go with?

1.  Pet Sounds
2. [1'B' really...] Sunflower
3.  SMiLE  [Beach Boys version first over Brian's by about 1/99th of an inch.]
4.  20/20
5.  Friends
6.  Little Deuce Coupe
7.  Surf's Up
8.  All Summer Long
9.  Summer Days
10.  Holland... or ...That's Why God Made the Radio... or ...Wild Honey...Oh damn...I forgot Pacific Ocean Blue belongs on the list.
11.  Today...or maybe Carl and the Passions.  Does Orange Crate Art count?  It should.  No Pier Pressure definitely does.  Hmmm I like Shut Down Volume 2 too.   Then there's the Beach Boys 2-disc live album...one of the best live l.p.s EVER...although Al's Live in Vegas disc is really well done.

The top five are a given (to me), and yep the remainder can change in a heartbeat
