My personal favourite

is Today! - kind of Pet Sounds in chrysalis, great pop songs married with the sound of Brian Wilson discovering orchestration and slightly more intersting themes than surfing and hot rods.

Depend what sort of music you're interested in hearing really, there's so much breadth to their catalogue.

Surf's Up/Sunflower

I doubt this will be much more than a fiver and you get some of the greatest Beach Boys songs.

I personally think

Friends is quite an underrated album, lovely pastoral pop

Superb stuff.

I really like 'Carl and the Passions' and 'Sunflower' both have great true stereo production and amazing Dennis Wilson moments. Seventies Beach Boys is all about Dennis. Check out his solo album 'pacific ocean blue' if you have soulseek or something

just

buy the Good Vibrations boxset cheap on amazon or ebay (got mine for £15). drool over the version of God Only Knows on the bonus disc. And Still I Dream of It is the best brian wilson song ever imo.
