#10 Brian Wilson -- Barenaked Ladies (1997)



Semi-biographical ode to the troubled musical genius of the Beach Boys – great enough that Brian Wilson himself started doing a cover version of the song in concert. I don’t often listen to the Washington rock station (DC 101), but for some reason I had it on one night in the late 1990s and they played the live version of this from BNL’s Rock Spectacle album. This is definitely one of those songs where the live version far exceeds the original studio recording, so much so that it’s the version that the band included on their best-of compilation.
