3.0 out of 5 stars *Another* Beach Boys collection? Skip this one..., February 14, 2003

This review is from: The Best of The Beach Boys (Audio CD)

This 10-track CD does contain classics such as "Fun, Fun, Fun," "California Girls," "Good Vibrations," "I Get Around," "Help Me, Rhonda," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Barbara Ann," "Surfer Girl," "Surfin' USA," and "Be True To Your School." However, this ground has been trodden before. And you're missing songs like "409," "Little Deuce Coupe," "Don't Worry Baby," and "Dance, Dance, Dance," not to mention deeper material such as "God Only Knows." This collection only spans four years of the Beach Boys' career, 1963 to 1966. Even if you're only interested in their early period you can do better than this.

If you only buy one Beach Boys album...make sure it isn't this one.

5 stars for the music and 1 star for the compilation averages to 3 stars overall.
