What I love is having opinions that are controversial enough to make a lot of people mad at me but that are also so boring they have no iconoclastic charge to them at all. For example: I Get Around is the best Beach Boys song

🌊 LONG LIVE THE BEACH BOYS!!! ⛱️ My faves are FUN, FUN, FUN and CALIFORNIA GIRLS (I'm a retired Librarian from California 😉) 🌞 I finally had the opportunity to experience Brian Wilson in concert about 6 years ago (along with Al Jardine) and it was an evening of pure bliss! ☀️ Thank you for your post.
And "lady" might be a problem in ID too. I don't know if they are sure yet because they seem to be okay with "chairman" which has "man" in it. I think we're safe if you say "going to run ass over." ID cares not one whit about bad ELA.
I have an opinion that is even more radical than yours.... The Beach Boys are overrated & their music is awful. Yes, I do just want to watch the world burn 😜
Whenever people say shit like that, I just assume it cuz they haven't heard, Good Vibrations or Barbara Ann.
And, yes, I use commas as intermediary stops!
The best Beach Boys song is inferior to just about every other song. But there is no song on earth worse than Paul McCartney's "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime".
Hey, I *knew* some of the Beach Boys, from the TM world that some of them had come out of. NONE of them them were worth paying any attention to, especially Mike Love, who was once voted Biggest Asshole In The Universe.
We all communicate differently. I appreciate honesty and openness. This is not the time for niceties. Call the evil people what they are. Beat the freedom drum. I know people hate me. I want those people to hate me. They are nothing to me.
Like how I can say "I've never seen a David Lynch movie," and there are people who will come at me with the same energy that they reserve for people who didn't vote.
So ... if I'm understanding your system ... the iconoclastic charge of an opinion such as "The Beach Boys have good songs?" would almost certainly have to be a non-zero number?
Wow. That is fucked up. You seriously think it's okay to come on here and just say those words out loud? Not only is God Only Knows their best song, but I Get Around probably endorses genocide.
were they really that great? Other California bands were so much better. Anyway don’t remember their records very well..I was trying to separate myself from southern california roots back then/although i still went surfing
We come from Laguna Beach, California, and Beach Boys were Valleys and NOT real Beach Boys. So, I never understood why these guys sang these songs about the beach culture. 🤣
When I was a teen working as a venue parking lot traffic flagger the Beach Boys crowd was the absolute worst. You could have impounded every third vehicle for drunk driving. Four cars drove themselves into a drainage ditch; on purpose.
Putting the soundtrack for interstellar travel together is very difficult. I mean you don't want a lullaby on while going through an asteroid belt, just like you don't want anything too high energy for transversing a gaseous nebula. It's a complicated feat.

Is that controversial enough?
I Get Around probably qualifies for top 3.
Though I think they bowed down to the orange turd, so I'm not going to bother giving them a re-listen.

Until I get *This* "EARWORM" Out Of My Head...
I suppose, "I Get Around", IS the Best Beach Boys Song.
Thank YOU Very Much!

The innocence of both.
Little Deuce Coup is better

I may be younger than some of you.
Ever.
Also, it’s “Sloop John B.”
For the record.
You need to stop and acknowledge Good Vibrations as Top Tier while you can all discuss second place.
I hear Hitler liked music.
What are you, Hitler?
"California Girls." 🎶
How f'n STUPID can you be?!?!?! 😆
Thanks for reminding me of that time my friend
In order for them to have a "best song", it would have to be a good song. As there are none... the rest of the logic is quite elementary. 😎
BTW, your last name sounds like a made-up character who works at Vandalay Industries, no offense.
