Brian Wilson

 Brian Wilson passes from this earth, age 82...

I'll be honest here- I know there's a sin to hero worship, and a sin to knee-jerk reactions, but my first knee jerk thought was whether I wanted to be in a world without Brian Wilson...

I've tried so many ways to just say something about him, what he and the boys meant to me... and now, all the Wilson boys are gone...

In the end, I found a Quora thread that asked a question...

What songs by Brian Wilson are your favorites, and why? Do you have an absolute favorite or find it hard to choose just one particular song, like say, “Little Deuce Coupe”, or Good Vibrations”, or “Love and Mercy”?

56 different songs were named, most as parts of lists, and I thought I would count them up and letb the fans answer...

Tie-9th (3 votes):  Please Let Me Wander; Sail On Sailor; Lonely Sea; Help Me Rhonda

Tie 4th (4 votes):  The Warmth Of The Sun; Heroes And Villains; Till I Die; Surf's Up; Don't Worry Baby

#3 (6 votes): In My Room

#2 (17 votes): Good Vibrations

#1 (18 votes): God Only Knows

Plus another 14 with 2 votes each.  I have my favorites; maybe another time I'll share them (as most were on this list!).  But instead of them, I wanted to share just one, that I feel is the most appropriate for right now...
