Favorite lesser known Beach Boys songs

Here's 5

1. It's Over Now
2. Our Sweet Love
3 All I Wanna Do
4. Summer's Gone
5. All This Is That

I could have said tons but these are the first that came into my head. You could put Till I Die tracks like Till I Die I consider well known with regard to complications etc. I know most of these were on compilations.

Ok let me add a 6th. Busy Doin Nothing.

 

Custom Machine
Little Pad
Airplane
Leaving This Town
You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone

 

They are still predominatedly "Brian Gems", but a few of mine would immediatedly include:

We'll Run Away
Lonely Sea
Summer Means New Love

 

Good choice. Love the drum sound on Leaving This Town.

 

I'm gonna devote a post just to Dennis:

Be With Me
Little Bird
Be Still

 

I don't know if they're lesser known, but three of my favorites are She's Got Rhythm, Deidre and Lady Lynda.

 

I must say Endless Harmony I love.

 

Little Bird
Anna Lee The Healer
All I Wanna Do
Funky Pretty

 

I Do...

 

Probably not considered "lesser known" but my list would be:

Hawaii
I'm Bugged At My Ol' Man
Wonderful
I'd Love Just Once To See You
I Went To Sleep
Time To Get Alone
Add Some Music To Your Day
Long Promised Road
The Trader

 

"Kiss Me Baby" from "Today!" (tough to find on comps, etc.)

It's my second fave BB song, trailing only "Caroline, No"

 

How well known is Let Him Run Wild?

 

Santa's Beard

 

Kiss Me Baby
Keepin' The Summer Alive
Good To My Baby
Heads You Win
Peggy Sue

 

Another vote for: Kiss Me, Baby

4 others:

Aren't You Glad
Slip on Through
The Night Was So Young
Where I Belong

 

We Got Love [studio]

 

nice list...more than I can think of!

 

love this...playing the BB Christmas album presently! IN STEREO!

 

I'd say anything pre-Good Vibrations is lesser known (and even among them, many). So I'll go with:

Wonderful - Smile version
Surf's Up - Smile version
I'd Love Just Once To See You
Busy Doin' Nothin'
Little Bird
Sail Plane Song
All This Is That
Steamboat
Barnyard Blues
The Night Was So Young

 

Devoted To You

 

"Livin' with a Heartache" is my favorite at the moment.

 

She Knows Me Too Well
Girl Don't Tell Me
Gettin Hungry
Passing By
Never Learn Not To Love
Let Us Go On This Way

 

1. Summer Means New Love
2. And Your Dreams Come True
3. The Trader
4. Funky Pretty
5. Sail Plane Song
6. Be With Me

 

Hawaii. Another vote for Hawaii (esp. the live version, it has so much more energy).
Our Prayer.

 

All I Wanna Do
The Night Was So Young
Funky Pretty
Full Sail
Wouldn’t It Be Nice to Live Again
