Fave member-Dennis! (Any friend of Charles Manson...  ) Underrated-Dennis Vocalist-Brian Musician-Brian Writer-Brian Songs- 20. (I Saw Santa) Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree 19. Hang on to Your Ego 18. Christmas Time is Here Again 17. I Can Hear Music 16. Heroes and Villains (Alternate) 15. Disney Girls 14. All Summer Long 13. Surf’s Up (Early alternate) 12. Darlin’ 11. Girls on the Beach 10. You’re So Good to Me 9. God Only Knows 8. Wouldn’t it Be Nice 7. Winter Symphony 6. Girl Don’t Tell Me 5. Sail On Sailor 4. ‘Til I Die 3. Surf’s Up 2. Let Him Run Wild 1. Don’t Worry Baby Underrated-You name it! Let Him Run Wild, Girl Don't Tell Me, 'Til I Die, Disney Girls, You're So Good to Me. Singles-Darlin', I Can Hear Music. First heard-Man, one of the beach songs I'm sure. Holiday song-Winter Symphony. (It's not overly Christmasy, so after that would be Christmastime is Here Again) Instrumentation-Maybe Cabinessence Album-Probably Pet Sounds or Summer Days (And Summer Nights!) Album cover-Surf's Up or if you include compilations, their 2 album set...not Endless Summer, Sunshine Dream or Made in the USA. The other one. LOL! 45-none LP-a twofer reissue, can't remember the name cassette-Live in London 69 (GREAT!) CD-Made in the USA Video-Wouldn't it Be Nice Disney Girls is a very good song from Bruce, probably my favorite of his after Deirdre. The Captain & Tennille do a great version of it also - that's actually the one I was familiar with first. I love the Beatlesque quality to Girl Don't Tell Me! |

Good rockin' tune! Yes, you're right about the title of the album with Getcha Back. I've also seen it referred to as Beach Boys '85, but I don't think that was the official name of the album. |

Favorite group member: Mike Love Most underrated group member: Al Jardine Best Vocalist: Brian Wilson Best Musician: Brian Best Writer: Brian Favorite Beach Boys songs: 1. Barbara Ann 2. I Get Around 3. Kokomo 4. Fun Fun Fun 5. Be True To Your School (album version only) 6. Dance Dance Dance 7. Surfin' USA 8. Good Vibrations 9. California Girls 10. Help Me Rhonda Most underrated song: Do It Again First Beach Boys song you can remember hearing: I really don't know.  Favorite holiday song: The Man With All The Toys Best instrumentation: Wouldn't It Be Nice Favorite album: Endless Summer Favorite album cover: Surfin' Safari First 45 you owned: Mom gave me these: Barbara Ann/Girl Don't Tell Me Good Vibrations/Let's Go Away For Awhile First LP: Mom had "Endless Summer" First cassette: None First CD: I don't have one yet. Thinking about getting the 5-disc box set "Good Vibrations" Favorite video(s): Wipeout (with the Fat Boys  ), Kokomo, Good Vibrations (from the Ed Sullivan Show) Do It Again is a good cut that should be getting more airplay on the oldies stations than it does. Unfortunately, around here they seldom play any of their post-Good Vibrations hits. I would definitely recommend the box set. It's a great collection of their hits, plus some excellent lesser-known songs and rarities. |

Favorite group member: Brian Most underrated group member: Al Best Vocalist: Brian Best Musician: Brian Best Writer: Brian Favorite Beach Boys songs: 1. DARLIN' 2. I get around 3. Good vibrations 4. Wouldn't it be nice 5. Barbara Ann 6. Help me Rhonda 7. Do it again 8. Surfin' USA 9. Rock and roll music 10. Little deuce coupe 11. Surfin' safari 12. Shut down 13. Sail on sailor 14. Heroes and villains 15. Don't worry baby Most underrated song: How she boogalooed it First Beach Boys song you can remember hearing: Surfin' USA Favorite holiday song: Little Saint Nick Best instrumentation: Darlin' Favorite album: Pet Sounds Favorite album cover: Wild Honey First 45 you owned: Good Vibrations First LP: None First cassette: None First CD: None (have several tunes on compilations, especially Rhino and recently Madacy, and also burned the 5 CD's of the Good Vibrations box set) Darlin' is excellent, I agree, and should have been a bigger hit. Unfortunately, it's still quite overlooked today - as I mentioned to Triple J, it seems the oldies stations tend to pretty much ignore their material from this period. That Wild Honey album cover is pretty cool, I agree! |

I completely agree about That's Not Me being underrated. A great song from a beautiful album. Kokomo - I didn't mind the video too much, but could never really warm up to the song. |
