This is one of their best for sure. The vocals in this song are near perfect. Carl is legendary on the lead vocal, Bruce was perfect for the refrain (very glad Brian involved him in the studio, he is a stand up guy and will always be a Beach Boy, original or not) and then Brian's falsetto to top it off. God Only Knows and Good Vibrations, to me, were the best songs from their peak era in the mid-60s.
@101philosopha101 100% TRUE! Brian Wilson WAS an absolute Musical Genius! His vocals and those of his brother Carl especially are among the finest to ever grace recorded music. This song was voted as "The very best" in pop/rock production in 1997.
what's the deal with freakin awesome all-boy bands and goats?

Brian Wilson is a genius. This is one of my two fav. songs of all-time, the other is Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles.
