"God Only Knows" has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever! I remember being a horny teenager listening to this song in the back of my dad's chevy making out with my girl of the week.The melody, the music, the lyrics, its perfect. Definitely one of my personal favorite songs along with Beach Boys cover of "Come Go With Me", "Kokomo", "California Girls", and of course, "Good Vibrations". Brian Wilson is a genius and he and The Beach Boys created some of sweetest sounds of rock and roll!

I'm not a huge Beach Boys(they are a bit ahead of my time)fan but ever since the first time I saw 'Boogie Nights' and heard the song "God Only Knows" it has been one of my most favorite songs.

It's my all time favorite song.
A once-in-a-lifetime recording, that was.

My favorite is Don't Worry Baby. That is just so damn beautiful. Heavenly. Sweet. Everything that is good. That song just blows me away. Their most gorgeous song by far.

Probably because it's too perfect - and knowing that life is far from perfect to a genius most of all, let alone to anyone else - I go with the idea that it's Brian Wilson's attempt to match The Ronettes / Spector's 'Be my baby' and that, as such, there are quirkier and still melodic examples of Brian Wilson's genius. Wonderful from Smile might be my choice. Or, in a darker mood, Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder). But I really like the period piece fun of On a Holiday, from Smile.
