Music Review: ****Beach Boys Greatest Hits


This album was released in 1995, but most of the songs were recorded in the 60s.  The Beach Boys have a way to create a mood with just a few notes and chords, and a simple melody.  They do it over and over again, and had many hits.  Some are classic; "Help me Rhonda," "Surfin USA." "Kokamo" and "Fun Fun Fun"  To me Barbaranne just didn't make the grade.  Perhaps it was too simple.  Also they sing way too much about cars.  However the TBird song is classic.  Dads should always take the Tbirds away. 
Kokamo is included in this collection, but was not recorded until 1988.  This is one of my favorite of their songs.
