jk, I love your list! So many interesting selections, so many that I would have liked to include on mine. Many that I recall you praising in the past, but also many that I didn't realize you liked. But...please allow me to point out this surprise: You selected exactly 3 tracks from Still Cruisin', but not "I Get Around", "California Girls", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", OR "Kokomo"!

jk, this graphic designer greatly admires your approach to a list. And kudos to all who give listmaking a stab. As for me, I can't pull together more than a top 10 (for this moment, that is -- everything after the top 4 is in constant flux). So here are some favorites:
1. Wild Honey 2. This Whole World 3. Feel Flows 4. Forever 5-10. (in no particular order) Heroes & Villains, Darlin', Sail On Sailor, Catch a Wave, Kiss Me Baby, Surf's Up
And a whole lot of other songs in the "oh I love that song" category....

Thank you for the compliment, B.E.! Well I've had a soft spot for those songs ever since hearing them on an anonymous CD burnt for me years ago by a kind Capitol Board poster. I first thought they were by a tribute band! (Other tracks on that CD were bona fide tribute versions.) I'm forever (to name another track I didn't include) trying to balance things out, which some people find infuriating. (The other tracks you mention must be on everybody's list.) Another thing is, I've heard many such classic tracks far, far too often, first on the radio at the time and later all over BB forums, and jump at the opportunity to bring the less obvious examples into the limelight.

My work-that-was brought me into contact with a lot of graphic design so maybe it's rubbed off on me. I'm so glad I stumbled on this solution -- it's a little sneaky but it neatly sidetracks the problems that come with listing things in any kind of order.

jk - I feel like you need to blow up that list and frame it! It really is a work of art!
Carl's Big Chance? Glad to see another mention of "I Was Made To Love Her" Did you really mean to leave off "Wouldn't It Be Nice"? Very interesting selections.

jk, I knew you'd have some interesting choices! Good to see someone else giving love to Angel Come. The more I think about it, I may just scrap my list and do a full on top 100 favorite songs instead of trying to combine favorites and greatness.

Great song!

Good to see someone else giving love to Angel Come. I also has Angel Come Home on my list at #86. Great song! I had it at #69. After we get a few more in, I think I’ll analyze them - how many times each song was selected and maybe an average rating.

That would be awesome B.E. - I was hoping someone with more time than myself would do something like that!

Well, my original intention was to fill out the bottom section with the complete Love You, the complete TWGMTR and the rest of PS (which would have included "WIBN") but abandoned the idea as a bit weird even by my standards. I also had the three Tannerin tracks and three talk tracks as little subgroups but that went out of the window as well. I rather like what I ended up doing.

You probably noticed that my list contained nothing from Love You or TWGMTR then. Not a fan.

I don't have any Love You tracks on my 133 song Spotify list that I'm using as a springboard.

I definitely recognize my list is over-inclusive of Love You (and Adult Child), but that's where I'd emphasize my list was very much a favorites list, not attempt at some objective greatest hits. Clearly, I understand why that stuff isn't for everyone. And I would rarely recommend it to someone as an introduction to the group. For that kind of thing I'd go back to my "intro to the Beach Boys" playlist I did a while back for one of our new members.
But let the record show, I don't think "Lines" is actually something likely to be considered a better piece of songcraft or performance than, say, "Wouldn't It Be Nice"!
