    Episode #62- "Best of the Best" Draft!

    On this 62nd episode of Good Timin’, we build our own fantasy ”Best of the Best” album, where we as a group nominate and vote for 30 of our all-time favorite songs from the Beach Boys’ discography. To give our tracklist more variety and make sure that it represents the band’s entire career, we are only allowed to select 5 songs from each of our 6 designated “eras” to be featured on the album. (1962-1964, 1965-1966, 1967-1969, 1970-1974, 1976-1979, and 1980-Present)  In addition, Beach Boys solo material is eligible for inclusion on our compilation, but only one solo track is allowed per era.  Check out Steve’s channel, The Beach Boys Basement!
