Feeling piqued at seeing some of your favourite BB songs getting slammed in the "Something Different" thread? Well, now's your opportunity to make amends (sort of). You can choose up to five of the 47 tracks that were voted the worst by three or more posters.

Well I never. Right now, "Cherry, Cherry Coupe" is leading the pack!!
My other four votes went to "Barbara Ann", "Be Still", "Leaving This Town" and "Pet Sounds".

Well I never. Right now, "Cherry, Cherry Coupe" is leading the pack!! Now sharing the lead with "Be Still", "Leaving This Town" and "Our Sweet Love" at four points apiece. Less than half an hour later, "Our Sweet Love" has assumed the #1 slot. |

Less than half an hour later, "Our Sweet Love" has assumed the #1 slot. I can't even believe the three titles I selected (Leavin', Let's, and Nearest) could ever be considered among the "Worst" in the BB catalogue. |

I can only imagine they fall under what AGD calls "worst" as in "least wonderful". |

Cherry, Cherry Coupe, How She Boogalooed It, Transcendental Meditation, When Girls Get Together, Whistle In "CCC" now shares second place with "Leaving This Town" with seven votes apiece, two votes behind our "Our Sweet Love". Could this be the final score?  |

It's most encouraging to see "Cherry, Cherry Coupe" getting so many votes. It got my vote (and mfp's) but it's a song that could so easily slip under the radar. There's no hook to speak of, just an insidious doo wop-heavy groove. Wonderful stuff:

Got my votes in. Be Still Here Comes The Night (L.A.) Hold On Dear Brother The Nearest Faraway Place Our Sweet Love Had to get that vote in for HCTN. That song just makes me happy! Some really heart-warming comments accompanying this upload: I regard it as the centrepiece of L.A.. Love the nod to The Three Degrees at 10:21!  Very nice to see the criminally underrated "Be Still" getting some love, CL. And, "Our Sweet Love" looks set to retain its lead in this poll!!!  |

I don't understand all the dislike for 'Cherry Cherry Coupe'. Maybe if some of you understood the meaning of the car-related lyrics better, you'd like the song better? If you like the music/melody to 'Land Ahoy', that was 'Cherry Cherry Coupe's' inception. Was just looking at the votes on Reddit, and it received relatively high marks. I will add the lyric meaning to Cherry Cherry Coupe here when I get a chance: endlessharmony.boards.net/thread/551/car-song-lyrics-explained |

I'm in the pro-CCH camp, too. My picks:
"Cherry, Cherry Coupe" -- I'm quite fond of the LDC album
"How She Boogalooed It" -- it's a Wild Honey track, so of course
"Got to Know the Woman" -- catchy Denny song with a silly streak
"Spirit of America" -- wail it, Brian!
"Shortnin' Bread" -- my BBs guilty pleasure

"Shortnin' Bread" -- my BBs guilty pleasure I like "Cherry Cherry Coupe" better as "Land Ahoy". "Spirit of America" is a nice ballad that shouldn't be on anybody's worst list. Capitol thought enough of it to make it the title cut of a hit album 12 years later. |

Voted for Leaving This Town, Let's Go Away For Awhile, Our Sweet Love, Pet Sounds and Spirit Of America. I do really like a lot of the other tracks It was really hard choosing between the worst, wasn’t it. I changed my mind a couple of times. I could have easily picked at least six other songs. I really feel bad about leaving out Pet Sounds. I love that song. It has such a Henry Mancini vibe. Frankly, nothing on Pet Sounds is a worst in any universe. |

What did Barbara Ann ever do to end up here?? Good question! "Barbara Ann" tends to get a lot of flak around these parts and I've never understood why. |

What did Barbara Ann ever do to end up here?? It can’t possibly be the worst song on the Party album. |

I'm not familiar enough, if at all, with most of the songs on the list. In no particular order:
1) Barbara Ann
2) Belles Of Paris
3) In the Still Of The Night
3) Pet Sounds
4) South Bay Surfer - So who doesn't like Swanee River?
5) Spirit Of America - Wait, this was voted worst of something? Seriously?

"Our Sweet Love" - my favorite song on Sunflower.
How could it be on this list?
The instrumentals from Pet Sounds? What is this
list you speak of? I picked both.
"Transcendental Meditation" - speaks for itself. An
album, like Pet Sounds, that has no weak tracks.
And another that has no weak tracks, Wild Honey.
Picked "How She Boogalooed It"

Wait, did see that thread. I'll go with the "least wonderful" as a description.
But "Our Sweet Love", really?

I looked in here today with the intention of closing the poll but lo and behold there's been a new voter so I'll leave it open for the moment...
