SPIRIT OF AMERICA

I tried to avoid posting Greatest Hits here. I think it's fair to say that most Greatest Hits are pretty good, since they're a compilation of the greatest work of the artist.
But I really couldn't ignore this album.
I actually had this on 8-Track and I wore the thing out. Of course, it didn't take much for an 8-Track to wear out, as I'm sure anyone will tell you.
When I'm in the mood to listen to the Beach Boys, I pick this album over all their other stuff because it has my two favorite Beach Boys' songs on it: "Custom Machine" and "Don't Back Down."
Plus it has the song "Salt Lake City". When I was a kid, I thought it was so cool that the same guys who sang "Surfin' U.S.A." sang about my hometown. Granted, it's not a really great song, but it's about my city.
