That one's pretty good, actually. I'd probably skip 4-5 songs as well.

The Beach Boys tend to have a steep learning curve for many people. Hell, it took me about 8 years to get into Pet Sounds. A song like "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)" might sound like a corny teeny-bopper song on the first few listens, but upon closer inspection there's A LOT more going on in the song than first meets the ear. Some of the chord transitions in there literally send tears down my cheeks.

But there is such thing like CHARISMA and therefore INFLUENCE

The purpose of music is, well, the music. Right? So who cares if such-and-such band is dorky, un-hip and otherwise uncharasmatic, as long as they create music that moves the soul?

The Beatles are the template for how to compose great songs. You can't understate their influence.

All summer long may be one I've heard. I must admit, Im a little Turned away by the earlier stuff when I see that their first 3 albums started with the words "surfin" or "surfer" lol

Now now. There's nothing wrong with surfing.

And speaking of surfing, might want to check out this "surf" song, if you haven't already heard it.
