Hey, no SMiLE represented. I know, I know... I purposefully found a template that didn't include it. I just don't like including it with the proper studio albums which were released and include some of the same material. I'll be interested in other types of lists, though, in the future. I like this format.

OK, now I actually revised mine to rate within each tier. I didn't shift anything from one tier to another though.

I approve that change - Surfin Safari is still on the right side of Stars and Stripes. But, I'm surprised to see that Surfin' USA is still after Summer In Paradise! And, now, dead last.

I screwed up. Please hold... (I am now REALLY testing your statement "it's easy," mostly just because I'm incompetent though.)
OK, now take another look. Surfin USA is now the best album in that last tier.

Hey, that was fun! I kept changing right up until I hit 'save'. So, I reserve the right to change these rankings...
View Attachment As ordered: Compared to my list I see you were even more "strict" than I was - and I tried to be. (Well, only at the top, you were more forgiving at the bottom.) Our lists are actually quite similar. Not that I'm surprised. Personally, I went back and forth on including Today! (and possibly All Summer Long) as 'S' tier but if you're going back and forth on it, then it probably isn't, you know? Our biggest difference is probably in the Smiley Smile - Friends era. But I remembered you weren't high on Wild Honey. I'm a little surprised you got Shut Down Vol. 2 as the 2nd highest 'B' and firmly in your top 10. We actually aren't that far off on Love You, that was one I would have ranked 'A' in the past but lowered in this instance. We also are both pretty big on 15 Big Ones - as one of the highest 'C's and ranked above more than a few albums. But, yeah, Stars & Stripes over Surfin Safari? Get that outta here!

Kapitan, my biggest takeaway from your list is surprise that Today! is in the 'B' tier. Is that right?

Hey B.E. my man, how about if we wait until everybody who wants to participate fills out their tiers, THEN we take one poster at a time and critique their rankings. Maybe we can give it a few days until everybody gets a chance to participate. Calling all members! Let's see how many participants we can get.

Okay, fine by me.

Ok - Here is mine. Evidently there are a lot of albums I’m not really fond of. They are in order of preference.

Here is my ranking chart, at least for today. The top two tiers are pretty much in order, as is the last one. The middle two, not necessarily in order. If Smile had been one of the choices, it would have gone somewhere in the second tier (A).

Looking at your chart - I kind of feel like I should have moved Sunflower and Wild Honey up to S. Not like there are other bands albums that are much better than that. They are in my top ten. Going to keep it as it is though. For me there is nothing that even compares to the perfection of Pet Sounds. I agree about Smile. Probably for me would have been somewhere in the B list. I really enjoy a lot of it, but listen to the stuff on S and A much more often.

Had Smile been included, I'd have had it somewhere in that A tier. It's hard to be specific since there isn't a specific Smile to rank, but with the greatness of a few of those songs, it's hard to imagine it wouldn't be among my top 3-4 albums, but likely not above Pet Sounds and so not in that top tier.

I would've probably had it #2 right behind Pet Sounds and definitely in a tier above the rest.

And I realized I had made a pretty important typo in that post you quoted: I meant "it's hard to imagine it wouldn't be among..." Kind of a whole different meaning! But yes, Smile would have been in my 2-4 range, is what I meant.
