Good Vibrations
God Only Knows
California Girls
In My Room
Don't Worry Baby

 

Interesting list and I think the first one to include only post 1966 recordings past the major hit making years. All great songs though!

 

I Get Around
Don't Worry Baby
Please Let Me Wonder
All I Wanna Do
Wouldn't It Be Nice

Although this is 'favourite' rather than 'Best'...

 

A tough task but here goes:

God Only Knows
Wouldn't It Be Nice
Wild Honey
I Can Hear Music
Don't Worry Baby
and ...
I Just Wasn't Made For These Times

 

Trying to limit the songs to a top five from my favorite band is pure torture.. But here goes..

California Girls - Will always be number one for me. Just love everything about it from the intro, to the shuffle beat and the knockout vocals and the harmonies. Love the "i dig the girls" outro.. Total satisfaction.

Surfin' Safari - I like all the early surf songs but if i should pick one this is it. Always liked the guitar in it.

Girls on the Beach - My favorite of the slow songs/ballads.

Girl Don't Tell Me - Perhaps their most underrated song? I think Summer Days and Summer Nights is a great album all the way through. Underrated as a whole.

Kokomo - Love it or hate it. I love it. On a hot summer day this song is cooling like a summer breeze.

Wonderful (SMiLE)

 

Don't Worry Baby
God Only Knows
Surf's Up
Good Vibrations
Heroes And Villans (SMiLE Version)

 

Wonderful, Wind Chimes and the whole Child is Father of the Man segment along with Surf's Up are my favorite parts from Smile. Wonderful is a great song. Would have loved to hear Holiday with finished vocals Think it would have been one of the strongest songs on the album had it been finished.
