Beach Boys
In my ever growing quest for awesome music of time past...I now have gotten interested in getting some Beach Boys stuff. I'm usually not fond of "best ofs", but I'm not sure I'd like all of it to start getting the albums as a whole. Its especially confusing on iTunes because it seems lots of older CDs have been paired together.

Suggestions?

Edit - I started with Surfin' Safari and Surfin' USA, which seems to be two albums on one CD. However, I just got a weird error that Ten Little Indians couldn't be downloaded...anyone ever have that happen from iTunes??

I think the first few albums are only essential for hardcore fans. Just get the "greatest hits" packages to cover those years.

BTW, the new album is surprisingly good -- very good, as a matter of fact. It's my album of the moment.

I can't imagine anyone not profoundly digging Pet Sounds. It's just perfect.

I always really liked the Wild Honey album. And definitely yes to Pet Sounds.

I liked Wild Honey, but the only song off of Pet Sounds that I like is "Wouldn't it be Nice."

Caroline, No is just heartbreaking!

And of course - God Only Knows is one of pop history's gems.

And bossking7: we're from different plants I guess ...

The only song I'm not too crazy about on Pet Sounds is Sloop John B.

C'mon, TMan, Sloop John B is great!



It seems like it sticks out like a sore thumb at first, but upon closer listen(IMO), fits on the album perfectly, i.e. the nostalgia theme

After my downloading debacle, I haven't gone further yet. But thanks for all the input! I will certainly report back when I give them a listen

Here's a preview of tracks from the entire album. The opening vocal/piano piece is beautiful:



I think everyone's heard the title track:









One of the last tracks:



The final track:

I don't know ..... It's one of a very few Beach Boys songs I've never liked - but then it's not really a Beach Boys song at all, is it ...

Surf's Up on the other hand is fantastic!
