Graduation DayThe Beach Boys43rank/position

Beach Boys – Graduation Day

If you’re in the mood for something moving and sentimental, I absolutely recommend the Beach Boys’ “Graduation Day.” It strips away unnecessary instruments so you can fully savor the vocals and harmonies.

This is exactly what a truly good song is all about.

Help Me, RhondaThe Beach Boys44rank/position

Help Me, Rhonda (Remastered)

A track from an album released in 1965, right in the midst of a period when they were struggling as rivals behind the Beatles’ global popularity.

It’s a fun, danceable surf rock song with that quintessential Beach Boys feel: lower harmonies, a breezy rhythm, and a powerful vocal repeating the title refrain, all wrapped up in a love-song vibe.

The Beach Boys – How she boogalooed it

“How She Boogalooed It” is a track from the 1967 album Wild Honey.

The album was completed under the leadership of Carl Wilson, who took charge in place of Brian Wilson, who was in a neurotic state at the time.

It’s a fast, upbeat 8-beat number, but because the vocals aren’t chorus-heavy, it doesn’t feel very characteristic of the Beach Boys.

I wanna pick you up – The Beach Boys

“I Wanna Pick You Up” is a track from the 1977 album Love You.

Brian Wilson performed most of the instrumentation via multitrack recording.

The song has a unique pop style.

In My RoomThe Beach Boys47rank/position

The Beach Boys – In My Room (Visualizer)

Released in 1963, The Beach Boys’ “In My Room” is a gem of a ballad whose introspective beauty overturns the glittering image of surf sound.

The song, which sings of Brian Wilson’s bedroom—said to have been his sanctuary—features the gentle harmonies of the three Wilson brothers that quietly seep into the depths of the heart.

It carries a warmth as if it had captured the very memories of the brothers singing together as children in that room, coexisting with a certain, bittersweet solitude.

Doesn’t it bring back that singular feeling of sinking deeply into your own world when alone in your room? Why not listen closely and experience another profound facet of their music?

Keep An Eye On SummerThe Beach Boys48rank/position

The Beach Boys – Keep An Eye On Summer

“Keep An Eye On Summer” is a track from the 1964 album “Shut Down Volume 2.” It’s a beautifully crafted ballad.

Under the summer sun, memories of falling in love, the blue sea and sky, and the Beach Boys all come rushing back.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you want to forget about time.
