Welcome to a slightly early edition of On That Note. We do this every week, between @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and myself.
Since this week marks the official end of Summer, we've decided to observe it with some songs by the group most associated with the season - The Beach Boys. And since it's the end of the season let's look at the back side of their singles.
For this OTN we're asking posters to choose/rank your favorite Beach Boys singles B-Sides.
Below is a link to the Wikipedia Beach Boys Singles discography. Please note that the B-Side song is the SECOND song listed in the pairs. For example, for their first release "Surfin'" is the A-Side and "Luau" is the B-Side. Do not consider the A-side song (first one in the pairs). IMHO most of the more familiar tunes will fall in the range of years 1962-1966.

There are several ways you may approach this. Ideally, we'd like you to rank (and post) at least your top 5 B-sides. You may also choose to rank/post 10 in two posts. If you're not familiar with enough of them to do even 5, at least post the ones that you do like. Comments on the songs are encouraged, as always.
(I will wait a bit before I post my choices.)
Last week's OTN was "Story Time." It can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-story-time.273419/
