[@Flapperdame16]

I love the Beach Boys Love You cover at the end, so great!!!

[@SeahorsesJay]

To hell with it, I'm gonna fanboy over Mike Love for this one. Brian was right, Mike had a GREAT voice during this period. Love the chord progression too, I'm hoping in the streaming age that this song could finally gain traction and become a Christmas standard, it's one of the best Christmas songs yet is never in rotation on the music TV channels or radio around Christmas, at least not in the UK

[@cridly]

Honestly real. They were all at a creative peak during the 60's. The mid-70's was when they started getting...inconsistent. I'll just say that I think they should've spilt up in the early 70's, for the sake of the sanity of all of them.

@@christmanchristine Yeah Mike could probably be a big pain in the butt, but he was instrumental in keeping the BB together when Dennis was out of control, Brian was a recluse and self medicating, even Carl, had some issued with his own drug dependency. Mike, Al and Bruce didn't use drugs and they kept it together for the rest of them.

[@christmanchristine]

[@AdamTheLegoCityandPlushKing]

I especially like the “Run Run Reindeer” part.

[@johncraig7548]

The Beach Boys rock Christmas just like everything else! Although the majority might disagree, their best era to me was 1967-1973, (not withstanding Pet Sounds, of course, in '66.) They were rolling along with the Holland album, but then came a greatest hits double album, Endless Summer, in '74, released by their former record company, Capital Records. As great as that album was (went to #1 in '74 and then #20 in '75), it was a double edged sword that turned the BB into an oldies band. Miss you, Carl and Dennis.

[@Simbetam]

u couldnt extend that period to 66 for pet sounds?!

[@theBEASTisJJ]

I personally like their early stuff from 1962-1967.

[@utub1473]

After SMiLE fell apart in '67 things went downhill pretty fast... at least in my opinion.

Brian Douglas, this is Scott Douglas (from Inglewood - circa 1956), and you (and the gang) were my Beatles before the Beatles, and some years after your great melodies, I also became a huge fan of the Four Freshmen (having caught the music bug), later collaborated with Eddie Cochran's fiance, Sharon Sheeley (writer of Rick Nelson's, Poor Little Fool, and She's Somethin' Else), and decades later, I never took the time to thank you for your having introduced me to MUSIC, and for having been been blessed to have shared making music in the same studios you once created some of your greatest works! Just had to say, Hi, that we both had similarly screwed-up dads, and that you still amaze, and nurture me, like the older brother I wish I'd had. I don't have a whole of of time left (heart stuff), but your melodies/harmonies/arrangements absolutely changed how I saw this world, and for that, I owe you everything. We all die, but I only hope I die before you do, as I sincerely couldn't take that amount of hurt in one shot. Live long and prosper, dear friend! ♥
