I'm one of those Pet Sounds enthusiasts who think the finale to God Only Knows is one of the most delightful piece of music ever recorded. So yeah, God Only Knows.

I went with God Only Knows. While I don't think it's the best song ever written, I do think it's a beautiful song.

I chose Wake Up, but it was a tough choice. In the end I prefer other songs from Pet Sounds more. Wake Up is my favourite on funeral

God Only Knows sounds like it was writen for a cheesy greeting card commercial.

It also sucks, and is probably one of my least favourite songs on Pet Sounds.

Wake Up +1.

😠 Those are poop words.

Wake Up is a powerful song but it forces itself upon you, it's like a made for Lifetime tv special, there's no subtlety, all explosive grandiosity.

God Only Knows, much like the Kinks Waterloo Sunset, is painfully beautiful without having to resort to being overblown and schmaltzy like Wake Up.

Though I voted for Funeral in the poll "Funeral or Pet Sound", but one must accept truth, God Only Knows is a better song by far. But I think Wake up is not the best choice from Funeral, there are at least three better songs in the album: Rebellion (Lies), Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels), Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)

That's... Well said.. Really. I'll add that I hated Wake Up initially because of that, though I do think much more of it now. Still, only my 5th or 6th favourite on Funeral.
God Only Knows isn't my favourite on Pet Sounds but it's just one of those "perfect", impossible to dislike pop songs, with a wonderful melody and arrangement.

Wake Up simply because nothing on The Beach Boys album ((thee album) that is not Smile) comes close to... this one by Arcade Fire. I think it is one of the bombast ones.

God only Knows isn't the greatest thing to happen people 😕 🤣
