And the BEST Beach Boys song is:

[Tyler Durden]

Sail on Sailor, from "HOLLAND," with "Darlin'" a close second.

This is just a fact: it's not open to discussion. NYAH!

[Tyler Durden]

1. HA! I WIN!

I'll settle for default.

[6000eliot]

3. I've always dug Barbara Ann

And Sloop John B... which I think is a masterpiece.

11. God Only Knows How I Feel About You

[Reciprocity]

12. God only knows

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I’d be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I’d be without you

God only knows what I’d be without you

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. Wouldn't It Be Nice

Has always been my favorite..that and "Little Old Lady From Pasadena"

Wouldn't It Be Nice

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
And wouldn’t it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know it’s gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we’ve been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn’t it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn’t be a single thing we couldn’t do
We could be married
And then we’d be happy

Wouldn’t it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn’t it be nice

[6000eliot]

18. I think "Little Old Lady From Pasadena" is Jan and Dean

[enigmatic]

14. A tie between

"God Only Knows" (which is Brian Wilson's most moving melody, and the cascading final minute is breathtaking), and "Surf's Up" (which is the Great Lost Mini-Opera)..

[Blue_In_AK]

15. "Sail on Sailor" "Heroes and Villains"

[last_texas_dem]

16. "Wouldn't It Be Nice"

although it is one that has had its effect weakened by being in a Sonic commercial, it's still a great song.

My other favorites are "Please Let Me Wonder", "Let Him Run Wild", "Girl Don't Tell Me", and "The Little Girl I Once Knew." "I Can Hear Music" is great, too, although I don't know if it counts since it's a cover.

[Seabiscuit]

17. "Good Vibrations".

Many great songs, but that one popped into my head first.

I can't believe no one mentioned "Surfer Girl".

[Strong Atheist]

41. Both are great! nt.

[newyawker99]

19. I love the BeachBoys. It is difficult to choose a

favorite song but if I had to choose, it
would be Sloop John B and KoKomo.

[GalleryGod]

21. Ev-er-y FALL: Be True to Your School

Luv it!:loveya:

[HughBeaumont]

22. Until I Die

Then "Don't Talk"
Then "Surf's Up"
Then "Wonderful"
Then "Good Vibrations"
Then "I Just Wasn't Made for these Times"

[Orsino]

23. "I Get Around"

Sorry to burst your bubble.

[Burma Jones]

24. Good Vibrations, Heroes and Villians, Don't Worry Baby

I always liked All Summer Long too.....

[benny05]

25. I also enjoy Fun, Fun, Fun

until your daddy takes the T-bird away....:D

[raccoon]

26. "Don't Worry, Baby" is their best song. nt

[warrens]

28. It's clearly Do It Again

Everybody knows THAT!

[fudge stripe cookays]

29. That one gets my vote!

My brother had it on an 8-track back in the day, and I used to sit in the living room with the earphones on, singing that and "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and "Fool on the Hill".

My parents and brother used to bust into hysterical laughter when I got to the "You're a butterflyyyyyy" part.

"Fine! You laugh now! Someday I'll be famous!"

:grr:

[bertha katzenengel]

30. "best beach boys song" is an oxymoron

:hide:

Actually, i think the best one is "Disney Girls"

[ALago1]

31. How can one choose anything other than "God Only Knows"???

That song is just other-worldly in its beauty...

[LostinVA]

32. "God Only Knows" -- hands down

[WritingIsMyReligion]

33. "Kokomo"

I love the little sax break right in the middle of it. Hell, I just love the whole song. :D

[rug]

36. Sloop John B

[MN ChimpH8R]

38. "Sailor" is great

but I'm stickin with "Good Vibrations" and "Caroline, No."

[Strong Atheist]

40. Surfer girl nt.

[hunter]

42. Vegetables

(Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks)

I'm gonna be round my vegetables
I'm gonna chow down my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vege-table

If you brought a big brown bag of them home
I'd jump up and down and hope you'd toss me a carrot

I'm gonna keep well my vegetables
Cart off and sell my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vege-table
Oh oh taba vega vegel

I tried to kick the ball but my tenny flew right off
I'm red as a beet 'cause I'm so embarassed

Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do
oh yeah
Oh badumday oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh badumday oh dum do dum de dooby do

Chomp chomp chomp chomp do-do-do do-do-do
Bop bop bop bop do-do-do do-do-do

I know that you'll feel better
When you send us in
Your letter an'
Tell us the name of your
Your favorite vege-table

I know that you'll feel better
When you send us in
Your letter an'
Tell us the name of your
Your favorite vege-table

[Montauk6]

43. "Child Is The Father of Man"
