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.

best dodgy beach boys hits:
1. Sail On Sailor
2. Do It Again
3. I'm Bugged At My Old Man
4. Kokomo

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!

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

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