Your favourite BEACH BOYS songs

[The Large One]

It’s the middle of August. Supposedly summer is here. You can tell that by the delicate sounds of willow on new age traveller’s head, first roud exits at Wimbledon, and disappointment for Team GB at the Olympics. The football season is upon us like a juggernaut on a hedgehog. Meanwhile, us South Saxons are on the seafront. But is there any band that conjures up thoughts of summer like the Beach Boys? Apart from The Smiths...

What are your favourite Beach Boys songs? In no discernible orer, your top three, please. Mine are:

Caroline, No
Do It Again
Good Vibrations

Jam the Man, try and limit it to three songs, although I suspect you might end up stopping at about 26...
