    Ooof! Impossible to choose.

    1962-64? 1965-66? 1967-71? Do I choose by date of recording or release? Decisions decisions.

    I agree. For me, this band has far too many periods and classics to distill it down to a mere 5 songs.

    For example, if they only released stuff from 1965-1966, then disappeared, we’d still
    have gotten these:

    Today!
    Summer Days
    Party
    Pet Sounds
    Good Vibrations 45

    That’s an amazing 2 year run, right there…and that’s not even considering the Fall 1966 SMiLE sessions :)
