20 big ones: beach boys

i had a silly idea about doing a 15 big ones for all my favorite bands like the beach boys album but then i was like how the fuck can i narrow half my bands down to 15 so i decided on 20 instead. this thread is for beach boys but im working on some other bands okay remember when i used to listen to other music? that’ll happen again. maybe someday, not right now though right now i am pure brianista. thank you for your tribute

my rules for no reason was no pet sounds and no smile because thatd just be everything. its really hard to exclude anything from those albums okay!! plus like we’ve all heard em right? right. we’ve heard enough of them at least. plus brian wilson solo stuff is okay because of my little problem

it was still super fucking hard. theres so many songs i had to cut out of my pile of favorites and every one stung!! feel free to post your 20 (or however many you want really) beach boys big ones in this thread, you dont have to follow my rules! you can post mike love songs only! go wild! or make your own thread with a different band and use the 20 big ones thread

i may or may not make a post about why i picked every song lemme think about it lemme try to 20 big ones for another band first

idk how to respond to this cuz my favorite beach boys song is “surf’s up” but my favorite version is from the smile sessions and my second favorite is “wouldn’t it be nice” which is definitely from pet sounds … i’m too dumb a girl to reconcile this how would a smart girl do it… let me ask the smart girl understander himself

this is not my favorite beach boys song. it is, in fact, terrible. feels kind of like dying in a bog to listen to. but it is about the place where i live and i hope the salt lake sb meetup played it at least once
