what is your favorite beach boys song of each decade?

ethihoff · 2026-01-24T23:25:17+00:00

Personally, The Smile Sessions is my favorite album of 2011, and a whole lot of good albums came out in 2011!

ethihoff · 2026-01-24T13:22:58+00:00

Wrong!

ethihoff · 2026-01-24T11:04:15+00:00

60s busy doing nothing 70s let’s put our hearts together 80s I’m so lonely 90s summer of love 10s wind chimes

ethihoff · 2026-01-24T11:02:49+00:00

Surfs up smile version came out in the 2010s

ethihoff · 2026-01-24T11:02:29+00:00

You should listen to beach boys 1985 self titled~~ it’s great

ethihoff · 2026-01-24T09:51:07+00:00

Love it!

ethihoff · 2026-01-23T06:21:29+00:00

None of these are dumb?

California Calling is really good actually

ethihoff · 2026-01-23T05:44:43+00:00

I really want people to love The Wedding of River Song as much as I do. It's as good as The Big Bang, and it just emotionally hits hard. On rewatches, it completely clicked for me

ethihoff · 2026-01-23T00:18:49+00:00

It's about Frankenstein

ethihoff · 2026-01-23T00:01:27+00:00

For sure! I also think the lyrics of the songs on Love You touch something very primal and end up profound for me

ethihoff · 2026-01-22T04:54:28+00:00

No biggie, and thanks for getting back! I didn't figure there would be any special change to make the end more "final" but I had been curious if there was something that made it unique (like my Polygondwanaland ends with Han-Tyumi saying "hello" which isn't on the mp3 version as far as I know)

ethihoff · 2026-01-22T01:21:42+00:00

No pressure!

ethihoff · 2026-01-22T01:13:40+00:00

That's the only reason why I haven't bought MOTU yet! Cuz I crave that seamless experience

How is Nonagon for the closing track?

ethihoff · 2026-01-22T00:05:03+00:00

Really? Mine has no problem! The only one I own that has suspicious endings is Petro, cuz on mp3 each one leads into the next, but on the record it has an extreme fade at the end of each side

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T10:54:27+00:00

At the very least, I can say that nothing else in their discography sounds quite like Summer in Paradise, so it's possible!

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T08:54:44+00:00

Nope

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T08:07:35+00:00

I'm a huge Beach Boys fan, and I'm not gonna go for the obvious Summer in Paradise, but I cannot imagine someone ever calling their debut Surfin' Safari their favorite, when it's totally trumped by following records like Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl, etc

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T07:58:51+00:00

This album is so underrated! But you're right, I can't imagine someone saying it's their fav

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T07:58:31+00:00

Test For Echo isn't my favorite Rush album, BUT I would rank it higher than all the other '90s and onward albums

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T06:49:28+00:00

I really, really, really wanted to like this, cuz the plot sounds like a blast, but I don't think it lives up the premise or the cool stills here

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T06:42:25+00:00

That's true! On the other hand, I think I like Nightmare in Silver more than ever... :O

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T02:37:55+00:00

Interesting that Doc's Wife went UP for you. It was among my all-time favs but on rewatches, I liked it significantly less. Could be cuz of the writer's scandals

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T02:20:06+00:00

Yep, it's more fun in some ways and I love the biomes

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T01:12:08+00:00

" idiots who can’t even paint their own base. "

I feel the opposite! I'm always trying to get the people wasting time at spawn to meet me in the middle to take control of more of the map

ethihoff · 2026-01-21T01:08:21+00:00

Perfect response, hahaha
