    In My Room - Story of my adolescence
    Help Me Rhonda - Uplifting! A girlfriend like Rhonda! Love both versions
    Good Vibrations - As good as any Beatles song - IMO

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

    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, 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.

    I would include Whispering Winds but it's technically a section rather than a standalone track.
