Surfin' The Beach Boys by Mother Nature's Son
I find The Beach Boys to be one of the most fascinating bands ever, at least the story behind them. The light-hearted spirit of their sunshine hits and later on their adult-oriented music clashing with Brian Wilson's mental illness and the members' various drug abuses.
Add to this that I love their music, not only for their early hits, "Pet Sounds", the "Smile" album and their trademark vocal harmonies, but for pretty much anything they've done. They're truly a band that make me SMiLE!

That's correct! They took a trip to Holland! Can't say if it also sounds like it was made in Holland, but I do know that the trip to the foreign country resulted in an adventurous album, especially when held up against the previous "Carl and the Passions – "So Tough"". With "Holland" you get an mini album within the album, the California Saga trilogy. You also get a hit song, "Sail On, Sailor", a lightly psychedelic track, "Steamboat", two soulful ballads, "Leaving This Town" and "Only with You" and a song called "Funky Pretty" which is pretty funky, but the true mind-blower is "The Trader". If you get the CD, you'll also get a quite obscure EP with spoken word narration and some odd background music. Another unsung masterpiece by The Beach Boys.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I have yet to indulge myself in the transcendental experience that is Mike Love's "Looking Back with Love". Save the best for last, right?
Interesting chart. You obviously know your Beach boys. I'm a fan too, but not to the extent you are and your comments on each album are excellent. I don't agree with all of it but everyone has their own opinions. By the way, where's Mike Love's classic, Looking back with love? (Yes, I'm joking). Keep the summer alive!
awesome to see another beach boys super-fan :) great list - can't believe surf's up is that low though!! but everyone has their own opinions I guess :P
Well, that was awfully nice of you to say! :)
