Best Beach Boys Single (A-sides only)

voted Wouldn't It Be Nice. the bridge is one of the most gorgeous moments of pop music in recorded history.

Chord progression of California Girls so cool and weird.

I love the Beach Boys but I also have a special love for Blondie Chaplin-era Beach Boys that makes me want to judge them on completely separate terms. So my gut is saying "Sail On Sailor" even though it's barely representative of anything I love about non-Blondie Beach Boys.

Good Vibrations, over Wouldn't It Be Nice and Wild Honey.

Favorite songs not on the list: Aren't You Glad and Girl Don't Tell Me

"God only knows" was a double A but I can imagine it would run away with this..

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I think I forgot to vote in the end, but I never did really decide between "I Get Around" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice," so the tie there is cool with me.

Missed the poll, but would have happily voted for "Help Me Rhonda." Team Jardine!

"friends" and "darlin" tying "california girls," "breakaway" beating them all – did not see that one coming.

"Breaak Away" is great and deserves its high showing, but thought "Surf's Up" was the ILM fave

I did vote "Breakaway" but "Do it again" would have been my 2nd place.

Remember getting into an argument with my older brother many years ago when he was talking about what a great Beach Boys song "Rock and Roll Music" was. "You idiot," I sneered. "It's the BEATLES!"
