What's your favourite Beach Boys song?

There's some immortal classics alright, but Surf's Up my favourite. I adore that song.

God Only Knows.  It's exquisite.

I get around ..... it's just the ultimate feel good song

Grunfeld

"Barbara Ann"
This was just the one that came to the front of my mind. 
Beach Boys greatest hits was the first album I bought.  Played it endlessly.
All the songs were good.
"Barbara Ann" is kinda a throwaway.  They ain't taking it too seriously.
But...
It's got the harmonies...and they're great... I'm hooked.

I've always had a thing for Darling.*

I just wasn't made for these times.

Back In The USSR

Bellycaster

Lady Linda

StageStruck

Heroes & Villains. It wasn't until I saw Brian Wilson's solo tour in the early 2000s that you realise just how complex and crazy the arrangement is on this song.

Me too but purely as the kind of cheesy guilty pleasure that makes you grin as soon as you hear it. And I've heard the Minions sing it I think which is a thing of beauty.

Never really liked the Beach Boys though unfortunately

RobDavies

Good Vibrations. 

Unfortunately, nothing else they did was in the same league as this, IMHO or course.

Huh. I thought I'd be one of a long line of people saying "Good Vibrations", but apparently it's just me and @RobDavies. Absolutely brilliant.

All I Wanna Do.  It definitely has a proto-shoegaze vibe to it.

Crimminy, the first three posts on this thread named my top three Beach Boys songs... including, blimey, 'Til I Die. Wadda the chances?

All the choices are good but can I just add to the pot Don't Worry Baby? Ta

+1. Closely followed by Heroes and Villains and Good Vibrations. All perfect songs. Exquisite writing, visionary production and beautiful execution in all three cases.
