Loved their harmonies - they were basically a rock 'n roll barbershop quartet  My author page: https://www.amazon.com/au...eretttruth | |

not really a fan of them, but Good Vibrations and (especially) God Only Knows are sublime. "The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life. " -- Edith Massey in Female Trouble | |

'I Get Around' always makes me smile.
IMO, the Beach Boys when led by Brian Wilson were one of the best bands/ artists of the '60s, equalling the work of the Beatles on 'Sgt Pepper' with 'Pet Sounds' and the (then) unfinished 'Smile'. I think Wilson is/was probably the single most gifted composer/arranger/prodicer in all '60s pop. He was like Lennon/McCartney and George Martin combined; he just phoned out for (most of) the lyrics. Their (less Brian-centred) late '60s and early '70s work is often underrated too. Check out 'Friends' and 'Sunflower' for more sublime slightly later BB sounds. | |

They're an excellent band. I simply like this song. Not a favorite of mine but it's fun. These days, I can't help but think of the opening sequence of Look Who's Talking when the little spermies were making their way through the fallopian tubes to this tune. | |

I remember seeing the "Smile" cd everywhere when it was released a while ago... Maybe i should check it out  | |

They were probably tied with the The Supremes, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles for the most 45s in my collection growing up.
I still have quite a few of them including... 
...I Get Around Some other favorite Beach Boy tunes: Be True To Your School Fun, Fun, Fun Dance, Dance, Dance Help Me, Rhonda Wouldn't It Be Nice Sloop John B. Good Vibrations When I Grow Up (To Be A Man) Heroes And Villains Darlin' Sail On, Sailor God Only Knows Surf's Up In My Room 
The Warmth Of The Sun
Don't Worry Baby
When I got this comp... 
...I thought I had it made. That's until I realized it didn't include The Warmth Of The Sun, Sail On, Sailor and Surf's Up. 
I'd trade those for Come And Go With Me, Rock And Roll Music and Kokomo any day. tA  Tribal Disorder

"Don't Worry, Baby" has got to be one of the greatest songs of all time. Period. Brian Wilson wrote material for Jan and Dean as well, hence the similarity in sound. My author page: https://www.amazon.com/au...eretttruth | |
