i like good vibrations but i'm not like YES! good vibrations! actually liked just hearing a big bootleg of the sessions more than the song itself.

Has 'Sloop John B' placed yet? I hope not because I'd much rather see 'When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)' in the top 2.

background:
#2 spent almost the entire voting process at #1.
it was #1 at midnight.
some minutes after voting was technically over, I received a ballot from one "capt. lorax"
his ballot flew into the two towering top results - and #1 came crashing down.
with results so close - a 6 point margin - there's good reason to have some serious doubts about the 'official story'.
in any case:
#2

I will say that one of the best times of my life was had at the Brian Wilson/Pet Sounds show. I was hanging out and some guy from Croatia wanted my ticket so that his friend could get in (there was a re-admission policy). He came back, bought me a beer and hugged me- said it was his dream to hear these songs live with his friend.

actually i just wanted to write oh my in quick succession after oh dear. i saw this earlier today on fb, and listening now. who knows, maybe it will be good? sorta kinda smiley because of the instrumentation, but...

But now he'll join the pantheon of artists that include Ringo Starr and Gene Simmons who have recorded "When You Wish Upon a Star" as a closing track for an album.

I'm on my phone so it's hard for me to recheck the results, but what are all the "I can't believe it didn't place" surprises?
I think 'When I Grow Up' didn't place. That song has a lot going on (in a good way) and the lyrics are good

Almost everything I voted for placed. "Catch a Wave" should have made it, wouldn't expect "Mona" to though. Kinda wish I'd put "I Get Around" as #1, or even had an all-Endless Summer top 10 to right the balance even though it wouldn't be honest.
1) Surf's Up2) I Get Around3) 'Til I Die4) California Girls5) Sloop John B6) God Only Knows7) The Warmth of the Sun8) Good Vibrations9) Surfer Girl10) Long Promised Road11) Wendy12) Caroline, No13) Heroes and Villains (2004 Version)14) Cabinessence15) Don't Worry Baby16) Catch A Wave17) Wouldn't It Be Nice18) All Summer Long19) Break Away20) Mona
