Exactly, fun music, but all before Pet Sounds, so it can't actually be a best of!
Before Pet sounds--as I recall Pet Sounds was released in 65 or 66, and Endless summer in 74. I don't recall if it had any Pet Sounds tracks on it, but Good Vibrations was definitely on Endless Summer and it was released in the late 60s--certainly after Pet Sounds. Endless Summer was more of a summer/surfing compilation, and the only Pet Sounds track that I think could be shoe horned into that would be Wouldn't it be Nice--which I don't think was on the Endless Summer album.
that being said, it doesn't have my favorite, In My Room, either (but then I'm not that much of a Beach Boys fan).
Just looked up Endless Summer on wiki
I thought Good Vibrations was on there also. And In My Room.
Seems only one of them.

I'll have a look at my album over the weekend (if I remember to look). Wiki is not always right.

I was never a big fan, either. I always thought of them as The Lettermen on steroids, and Brian Wilson always seemed too manic and ready to show a dark side.
My English cousins were always sending me photos, music, and assorted tchotchkes promoting their new, somewhat local sounds and I quickly became a fan of the British Invasion. Very few American groups -- at that time -- could hold my attention.

I had to rake leaves over the weekend. Two 39gal lawn/leaf bags worth. My tree in the front of the property always loses it's leaves early. Usually September, but with having no rain this month, it's letting them go even earlier.
I didn't feel like attaching the leaf attachment to the tractor, so I did it by hand/rake.
Acid rain was very real ,regulations and a general overhaul of attitude helped clean that mess up.It was pretty bad in the Shenadoah National park,the rocks there (unlike where I reside) , have little buffering ability ,due to their chemical composition,in other words "freestone" ) Limestone streams have far more "buffering ability due to the "basic " nature of the carbonate rock.Lets face it even if the anarctic rises a couple of degrees celsius,there will still be very little significant melting of the snowpack there due to the low average temperatures.Around the arctic though ,things are a little different.

And I hate mulch.

I compost. I have four 1yard bins (open air cages really) and one 2 yard bin (for the almost done compost), but I bag the early leaves because I don't have the shredding blades and pick-up on the tractor yet. If the town doesn't pick up the bags by the time I do get the attachments on the tractor, I will shred and compost.
And the town composts the leaves/yard waste as that is a seperate pickup which goes ot the compost facility. Town residents can go and get free compost there. I don't need it as I usually have more dirt than I can use.
