The Beach Boys have a lot of greatest hits or comps. Obviously. There have been themes to some of them. But here's your chance to promote your own personally designed Beach Boys hits/comps album, ideally upon some sort of theme. (I mean, anybody can pick the highest charting or even best regarded 12-15 songs.)
Covers? Self-references? Love songs? High school nostalgia songs? Whatever. Knock yourselves out on making proposals for Beach Boys (and their members) compilations.

We've discussed in several threads how certain fans are attracted to The Beach Boys for certain reasons. One of those reasons - maybe the most popular reason - is their "fun" music. And, you can limit it even more than that - songs about surfing and cars. This comp is intended for just that reason, or that particular segment of fans. Give the people what they want!
The Beach Boys - Surf & Turf
Side 1 1. Surfin' Safari 2. Hawaii 3. Surfer Girl 4. Catch A Wave 5. Surf Jam 6 Surfin' U.S.A. 7. Girls On The Beach 8. Don't Back Down 9. Surfin'
Side 2 1. 409 2. Little Deuce Coupe 3. Shut Down 4. Shut Down, Part II
5. Ballad Of Ole' Betsy 6. I Get Around 7. Cherry Cherry Coupe 8. Custom Machine 9. Your Summer Dream

I liked the Ten Years of Harmony double album, and thought there should be a sequel. The problem is, the group just wasn't doing much recording in the 80's, and KTSA was already represented on TYOH. So I ended up doing Twenty Years of Harmony - my favorite 70's songs that weren't on TYOH; along with the best of the 80's recordings. The playlist looks something like this: - Slip on Through
- All I Wanna Do
- Forever
- Our Sweet Love
- Cuddle Up
- All This is That
- Funky Pretty
- Only With You
- We Got Love (studio version)
- Sail on Sailor (live version)
- Let Us Go On This Way
- Honkin' Down the Highway
- Sweet Sunday Kind of Love
- Full Sail
- Angel Come Home
- Baby Blue
- Keep the Summer Alive
- Livin' With a Heartache
- Runaway (gotta have some rarities in here)
- Getcha Back
- It's Gettin'Late
- Maybe I Don't Know
- California Calling
- Where I Belong
- Rock 'N' Roll to the Rescue
- California Dreamin'
- Kokomo
- Somewhere Near Japan
- Island Girl
- Still Cruisin'

I like this concept. It's a fun set of songs, and it probably would have gone over really well. I would add one song to each side though. Finish side one with "Do it Again" and throw "Don't Worry Baby" somewhere on side two, and you got a perfect comp! Edit: I just thought of one more alteration. I would ditch "Shut Down Part II" and replace it with "Fun Fun Fun".

I'd like to see a collection highlighting the Beach Boys' psychedelic period. Pretty much from Pet Sounds through Smiley Smile with a few extra songs that qualify thrown in. Here are a few ideas:
In The Back of My Mind (last 50 seconds of backing track) Hang On To Your Ego IJWMFTT (Alt. Version) Here Today (Alt. Version) Good Good Good Vibrations Wonderful (Rock w/me Henry version backing track) Barnyard (Master Take w/Backing vocals) He Gives Speeches Cabinessence (backing track w/backing vocals) Vega-Tables (2011 box set 45 version) Heroes & Villains (recreation using Early Version edits) Fire (vocals w/fire crackling sounds) Fall Breaks & Back to Winter (sessions) Wind Chimes (tag from 1967 sessions) Been Way Too Long (yet another unreleased version) Little Bird (backing track) Child is Father To The Man (end bit of backing track)

OK, I'll add "Don't Worry Baby" to Side 2, but I can't go with "Do It Again" on Side 1. It doesn't fit in with the sound and feel of the early surfin' songs - which is what I was going for and trying to accomplish with the comp. I'm going with "Surfer's Rule" instead; that gets Dennis on the comp more. Here's the new, edited version:
The Beach Boys - Surf & Turf
Side 1 1. Surfin' Safari 2. Hawaii 3. Surfer Girl 4. Catch A Wave 5. Surf Jam 6. Surfin' U.S.A. 7. Girls On The Beach 8. Don't Back Down 9. Surfer's Rule 10. Surfin'

I'd like to see a collection highlighting the Beach Boys' psychedelic period. Pretty much from Pet Sounds through Smiley Smile with a few extra songs that qualify thrown in. Hi, Bill, and welcome to the forum! I like your suggestion/idea, and I recently made a Beach Boys - Psychedelic Sounds comp similar to what you described. I basically used all released versions, not doing any real editing or tweaking of the tracks. Here's what I came up with:
The Beach Boys - Psychedelic Sounds
01 Never Learn Not To Love 02 Good Vibrations 03 Sail Plane Song 04 Transcendental Meditation 05 Be With Me 06 Funky Pretty 07 Little Pad 08 Do You Like Worms 09 Cabin Essence (20/20 Version)
10 Vegetables (Smiley Smile version)
11 Cool, Cool Water (Sunflower version)
12 Feel Flows 13 Wind Chimes (Smiley Smile version)
14 Fall Breaks And Back To Winter 15 Wonderful (Smiley Smile version)
16 Heroes And Villains (Smiley Smile version) 17 Can't Wait Too Long (long version) 18 With Me Tonight 19 Our Prayer (20/20 Version)
20 Hang On To Your Ego

I think you are missing “Chug A Lug”. Nah, I skipped songs I hate. (Note: no "My Solution," either ... though I did consider "Rollin' Up to Heaven" as a secret bonus track!)

But “Chug A Lug” is SO silly! Can’t help it that I love that song! Just about spit my drink out I laughed so hard when they first mentioned root beer!

The Beach Boys - Through the Decades
1. Surfin' USA 2. Surfer Girl 3. I Get Around 4. Wouldn't It Be Nice 5. God Only Knows 6. Good Vibrations 7. This Whole World 8. Forever 9. It's Ok 10. The Night Was So Young 11. Getcha Back 12. Kokomo 13. Somewhere Near Japan 14. Hot Fun in the Summertime 15. Lahaina Aloha 16. You're Still A Mystery 17. Cool Head, Warm Heart (Mike Love solo) 18. Live Let Live (Brian Wilson solo) 19. Midnight's Another Day (Brian Wilson solo) 20. Don't Fight the Sea 21. Spring Vacation 22. From There to Back Again
This was actually easier than I expected, but that required not putting a lot of thought into it. I debated on the format, just doing three songs each decade, but thought the 60s deserved more and added in an extra for the 70s for good measure. I also debated on solo songs, but settled on only the 00s since no new Beach Boys music was released or recorded. You can sub those three songs for extra 60s songs or whichever decade(s) if you want to stick only with decades they recorded music in.
