3.Today!
4. Summer Days (And Summer Nights)

10. Shut Down vol. 2
11. Surfin USA

there was a poll to decide what Beach Boys albums were free game, and people (last I checked, overwhelmingly) chose to rank just these. unfortunate, i know. Mike Love's Nascar tie-in Beach Boys album is their true magnum opus.

Didn't notice that. I guess these "Let's rank" thingies are mostly for true followers, hence the poll was placed in the Prince one instead of this one. Also, just to clarify. I was not about to troll around, as a coincidence So Tough and Holland are what got me interested in exploring them beyond Pet Sounds and their "classic days".
Here's a ranking of the selected albums (not consistent with how I've ranked them in my a bit out-of-date charts)
1. Pet Sounds
2. The Beach Boys' Christmas Album (I'm a sucker for Christmas, sorry!)
3. Wild Honey
4. Today!
5. Sunflower
6. Friends
7. 20/20
8. Surf's Up
9. Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)
10. All Summer Long
11. Surfer Girl
12. Little Deuce Coupe
13. Surfin' Safari
14. Smiley Smile
15. Shut Down Volume 2
16. Surfin' U.S.A.
Haven't listened to the party album and have only listened to Brian's solo version of Smile. _________________ "The Beatles, the greatest band known to mankind." - Bismah Mughal
I know, I know. It's just that the CD isn't quite cheap enough, last time I checked, and I still have this weird obsession that I only wanna listen to something by my favourite artists if I own the physical album! _________________ "The Beatles, the greatest band known to mankind." - Bismah Mughal
