Who you guys got

probably stones

get off of my cloud

They definitely tapped into the most zeitgeisty energy with those lyrics and the amount of swagger in those riffs whew

my boys

Besides the obvious stunners like California Girls, this is a hugely underrated Beach Boys song from 1965 that I think best captures their early 'fun in the sun' ethos, the beauty of some of the chords is phenomenal, I really think there's a truly religious character to Brian Wilson's work, like he was trying to impart the glory of God to his audience, all I know is that nobody's come close to his best work, and none of them have thought of their music as 'teenage symphonies to God' like he did

best beach boys song of this year is girl dont tell me

Crazy track, Brian's really the GOAT, I listen to his piano-based stuff so much that I forget sometimes how good his guitar rock songs are, the little solo in that is heavenly

i had this one ranked for '64 cause thats when the album came out guess it also came out as a single in '65

aside from side 2 of Today! and Cali Girls id probably give it to Let Him Run Wild

o i thought today was 64, didnt realize it was 65. the best beach boys song of 65 was in the back of my mind then

beach boys today side 2 maybe the best LP side in the history of music? a contender for sure.

that and side one of yeezus

Al sang lead on Rhonda didnt realize

best song of 65 and the entire 60s is leader of the pack by shangri las

#27 of '64 actually @suzuki but i respect the choice

pretty much how i feel about Out In The Streets

wow you never knew? always adored his lead vocal on that

Tbh he's got a way more legitimate rock tinge to his voice than Mike too bad he didn't get more shine (or did he?)

its interesting that Brian was already composing songs on weed by '65 (Please Let Me Wonder) but its f***ing hilarious that he was composing #1 pop hits on LSD already too the Beach Boys of all people were probably the edgiest dabblers

intro was the first thing Brian composed on acid dont know who was giving this nerd d**** but its exquisite
