Anybody own the Landlocked boot? Any good? bad?

it's got Dennis's Lady, also known as Falling in Love by American Spring on the Brian's Pet Projects CD. Best...song...ever...

Dud. Doesn't sound like a typical Beach Boys song at all. The "California Saga" suite was the only good music on the "Holland" album.

Yes. It's a BAD song because it doesn't sound like the Beach Boys.

No, wait. It's a great song. No matter who it sounds like.

SO FUCKING CLASSIC. Comaprable only to "You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone".

I love it, but you get overlap (San Miguel, etc.)

has anyone heard the LP by Blondie Chaplin's group The Flame?

I only sought out an mp3 of "See the Light" after it was touted as "the best thing on their album". It's just okay.

Didn't they hire the two Flamers due to Dennis breaking his arm?

great great song

My impression was that Carl enlisted Chapin and Fataar to make up for the absence of Brian and the departure of Bruce Johnston. Dennis' drumming has always seemed incidental to the BB's anyway, so I doubt some temporary injury would be enough to spur the inclusion of new members...

"You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone" is great great great.

But "Sail On Sailor" isn't even dodgy. It is just different, and basically just a plain normal MOR song sounding like it could have been made by almost any act at the time. (You forgot "Student Demonstration Time" in your list btw)

I love "I'm Bugged at My Old Man". Dunno if I would call it a hit exactly.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 15 June 2006 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I love, love, love "Do it Again". That snare sound is just so cool, and that guitar solo is one of the best to appear on a Beach Boys' record. That groovy, patient tempo is tops, as Love sings, "It's automatic..." In my opinion, 20/20 has one of best 1-2 opening combos ever: "Do it Again" to "I Can Hear Music". The 20/20 CD has some bonus tracks and one is that single, "Breakaway", which has become a heavy rotation jam this year.

I'd replace "Kokomo" with "Good Timin'" - despite its dated production, it's a great "Surfer Girl"-esque track (and one of the only Brian/Carl collaborations).

Do It Again is probably my favorite BB song, but their coolest use of guitar may have been on Steamboat. Holland was one of those albums I bought having heard only one song and it was, of course, SOS. So classic for getting me into a pretty good record, which I've beaten to near death after 34 yrs. Yikes!

fourteen years pass...

Uninspired, drenched and tired

Blondie Chapin guested on Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds (50th Anniversary?) tour and sang "Sail On Sailor" in force of nature level vocals. his guitar playing/soloing was a wall of dissonance like Scary Monsters era Fripp. all the more impressive as he seemed quite petite and aged!

haha Chaplin

― Paul, Monday, 5 April 2021 14:01 (three years ago) link

it’s a pretty cool song. I group it with their cover of “I was made to love her”, which is also good..

― brimstead, Monday, 5 April 2021 15:15 (three years ago) link

I haven't seen The Departed in a while but I recall it felt like an uninspired sync. Good song tho.
