Subject: Beach Boys Poll

Written By: RockandRollFan on 04/28/04 at 10:36 am

The REAL Beach Boys were very good....I chose "Don't Worry Baby" for a very personal reason :)

A painfully superb group...

Could have been any of these at a pinch, but 'God Only Knows' does it for me every time...

I couldn't choose between any of the 700+ Beach Boys choons I have owned, let alone a subsection of classics..

At this very moment, though, I have to go for Don't Worry Baby. I guess I'm in that kinda mood, though it could have been any of hundreds more...

I must admit that I'm shocked at the lack of votes for Good Vibrations! I'm fully aware that I should have voted for it myself, but I currently make no apologies for my decision at the time.

Because The Beach Boys and their songs defined my life in the 1960s I must choose "I Get Around" and I did!

"Don't Worry Baby"

Subject: Re: Beach Boys Poll

Written By: Eve Orzabal Smith on 06/10/04 at 9:02 pm

The Beach Boys are one of my favourite groups!!! :)

Tough "California Girls" was the 1st song I've heard from them, my favourite is "God Only Knows".

I love it so much!!!!

I also like "Good Vibrations", "California Girls", "Kokomo".....

Did you know a song called "Please Let me Wonder" also by Beach Boys?

It was in the charts in no. 52!!!!!!!!!

Oh, It was so unkind!!! :( >:(

God Only Knows, but Don't Worry Baby is equally as good.

Subject: Re: Beach Boys Poll

Written By: Bobo on 06/11/04 at 3:37 pm

I really dig that track, from the Today album. Possibly the best track there for me. It was really the final step towards real Pet Sounds lyrics and content, and it was one of the best ways to preludes to it.

Personally, I think it's an injustice that it did so badly chartwise.

I'd have to choose "God Only Knows", followed by "Don't worry Baby" :)

Subject: Re: Beach Boys Poll

Written By: Tanya1976 on 07/26/04 at 1:26 am

God Only Knows is their best song, IMHO. Slowly, they sought to back away from the beach scene into something more deep. In My Room is the next song of theirs I enjoy.

Surfin' Safari
Little St. Nick
Wouldn't It Be Nice
...and the list goes on!

"In my room". With don't worry baby a close second...

I  hit 14 in the 60's while living in Florida panhandle and have some great memories of the Beach Boys. For a couple of years I patterned my wardrobe by what they wore during on TV appearances or on album covers.(Man, wuz I ever cool ;D)

'When I Grow Up' is my favorite.

Subject: Re: Beach Boys Poll

Written By: woops on 01/30/05 at 5:15 pm

The only song of theirs I could tolerate "Good  Viberations" since most of their songs sound the same are too corny, IMO.  And I liked the "DTV" clip that featurred 'Good Viberations' with clips of the animated movie "Alice In Wonderland' as a kid.

Not intended to be rude, but what makes The Beach Boys legendary?

The same for Jan & Dean, which were around the same time as The Beach Boys.


I have listened to most of their songs, and I just don't care for them since most were just fluff about being at the beach or surfing which I find too dated (no offense to people who grew up in the 1960's) unlike The Beatles.

I adore that song... It's in my top 2 for Beach Boys. It really does capture a feeling that most adolescent young men have on the edge of manhood.

They had alot of great songs, but I have three all-time Beach Boy faves:

1979 - Lady Lynda
1981 - Come Go With Me
1985 - Getcha Back

let's see if I can make a real arse outta myself here,

I Get Around & Help Me, Rhonda were the only two 45's I purchased by them; I liked Jan & Dean and Ronnie & the Daytona's better as far as beach bands went....will 'always & forever' associate the Four Seasons & Drifter's with summer 'fun, fun, fun' at the Jersey shore.

If you like the Beach Boys, I reccomend these:  In the early 80's, there were three different HIT songs of Medleys of Beach Boy tunes:

Summer '81 - Cantina Band
Beach Boys Medley - The Beach Boys
Beachboy Gold - Gidea Park

Also, "When I Grow Up to Be a Man"

What the hell, they're all fantastic.
