Lavender

off Lost & Found 1961-62 (1991); great acappella harmonies.

Lonely Sea

off Surfin USA (1963); maybe it's just some good memories of mine lying out on the beach watching the surf crash, feeling the mist of the waves, and sounds of the Lonely Sea, but it's so peaceful.

Ballad of Ole Betsy

off Little Deuce Coupe (1963); it's so sad.

In My Room

off Concert (1964); they sang it so awesome live, it really sounds as if Brian feels it.

I'm So Young

off Today (1965); I lived this song and related.

She Knows Me Too Well

off Today (1965); once again I related.

---

Pet Sounds, the album (1966)

the entire album (minus Sloop John B); need I explain this?

Wonderful

off Smile (never released) (1966); all versions. It's a very delicate song.

Meant For You

off Friends (1968); yeah I know, it's only 38 seconds, but doesn't Mike's voice make you wanna cry?

I Can Hear Music

off 20/20 (1969); it's just harmoniously beautiful.

The Nearest Faraway Place

off 20/20 (1969); Bruce is one of the most fluid piano players I've ever heard. This song is beautiful.

Time To Get Alone

off 20/20 (1969); maybe it's that 2/3 beat and that Wilson falsetto, but man it's good.

Our Prayer

off 20/20 (1969); once again, the reason we all love the boys, blissful harmony.

All I Wanna Do

off Sunflower (1970); I think it's the way this song was produced, unlike any other Beach Boys track I've ever heard.

Forever

off Sunflower (1970); Dennis is god.

Lookin At Tomorrow

off Sunflower (1970); Al has some real talent, production of this song was excellent, stands out.

Surf's Up

off Smile (1967?); (the released version of the song appears on the Surf's Up album of 1971); the version that was broadcast before the Smile album was to be released, a local TV crew (I think) did an interview with Brian in his home and that's where that version came from. It's just Brian, playing his piano and singing. Totally awesome. I think it appearred on An American Band.

Til I Die

off Surf's Up (1971); without a doubt, but the 5-minute version with the long music intro that was supposed to be on the unreleased Landlocked album.

4th of July

(never released) (1971); this is one the best tracks on which to hear Carl's sweet voice. Dennis wrote the music and then manager, Jack Reiley, wrote the lyrics. But it was definitely produced by Brian. It can be found in the Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys box set.

Make It Good

off Carl & The Passions (1972); give it another listen, no question.

Cuddle Up

off Carl & The Passions (1972); Dennis is in full romantic gear.

Carry Me Home

(unreleased) (1973?); Dennis again. This is a song he wrote about a soldier dying in Vietnam, the Beach Boys didn't record it becuase it was 'too deep' for their audience.

Only With You

off Holland (1973); Carl's voice is so sweet.

---

Let's Put Our Hearts Together

off The Beach Boys Love You (1977), this album definitely should have been called Brian Loves You.

Winds Of Change

off MIU (1978); I think it's the lyrics and Mike's voice.

Pacific Ocean Blue, the album (1978)

"River Song", "Moonshine", "Thoughts Of You", "Time", "You and I", "Farewell My Friend", "End of the Show". All of you novice Beach Boys fans must find this gem on CD. Some of the best music from the Wilson family.

Full Sail

off Light Album (1979); it's so slow and sad.

Angel Come Home

off Light Album (1979); makes you just wanna cry.

Baby Blue

off Light Album (1979); written for the Bamboo album to be released by Dennis as another solo effort. He's at his peak.

Endless Harmony

off Keepin The Summer Alive (1980); it's the boys' lives in a nutshell.

You Are So Beautiful

sung by Dennis during a concert in the late 70s or early 80s (the latter I think). His voice is ragged from years of drug abuse, but he sings it as though he were singing it to each girl in the audience personally.

She Believes in Love Again

off Beach Boys 85 (1985); Carl still has the sweetest voice, and the way they change lead singers in the middle of a line, it's the boys' trademark.

Slow Summer Dancin

off Summer In Paradise (1992); Bruce is awesome. This is a great summer song.

Forever

off Summer In Paradise (1992); John Stamos making his greatest musical accomplishment and tribute to Dennis. Awesome.

Don't Let Her Know She's An Angel

off Sweet Insanity (unreleased) (1993?); Brian still has it after all these years.
