Subject: Rank the songs on 'Pet Sounds'
Written By: Trimac20 on 10/27/05 at 11:12 pm
Hi everyone, it looks like a very different crowd since I was here about 6 months ago. Anyway...
My favourite album of all time is Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys, which may consider the best pop album of all time. I don't know about that, but it's certainly my favourite. I was just surprised with how unspectacularly it did compared with many other Beach Boys stuff. Also, the most commercial songs, 'God Only Knows' and 'John B Sloop' are, in my opinion, the most mediocre on the album. Anyway just wondering how'd you rank the songs on Pet Sounds. For me it'd be...
1. I Just Wasn't Made For These Times
2. Caroline No
3. Wouldn't It Be Nice
4. That's No Me
5. Here Today
6. God Only Knows
7. I Know There's An Answer
8. I'm Waiting for the Day
9. Sloop John B
10. You Still Believe Me
11. Let's Go Away For Awhile

Actually, the single "Wouldn't It Be Nice" was also hugely successful commercially...according to my very accurate Billboard book, it peaked at #8 nationally in September 1966. Its flipside was "God Only Knows," which peaked at #39 nationally the same month. "Sloop John B," by the way, peaked at #3 nationally in May '66.

I personally think Pet Sounds might be a little overated, I think The Beach Boys best album is Sunflower which they released in the early '70s.
Anyways, these are my favorite songs from Pet Sounds
God Only Knows
You Still Believe In Me
I'm Waiting For The Day
Caroline, No
Wouldn't It Be Nice

All fantastically good, even if 'Sloop John B' looks (and sounds) a little out of place...
