How would you order the Beach Boys (and other BB-related) albums?

Question

In terms of preference (out of those you have heard)? Here's my order, for now:

Pet Sounds (1966)
SMiLE (Brian Wilson, 2004)
Surf's Up (1971)
Pacific Ocean Blue (Dennis Wilson, 1977)
Sunflower (1970)
Summer Days (and Summer Nights) (has a superior version of "Help Me, Rhonda" than the one on "Today")
Smiley Smile (1967)
Brian Wilson (solo)
Friends (1968)
Today (1965)
Wild Honey (1967)
All Summer Long (1964)
20/20 (1969)
Love You (1977)
Holland (1973)
Surfer Girl (1963)
Shut Down Vol. 2 (1964)
Surfin' Safari (1962)
Surfin' USA (1963)

That'll work for now, anyway let's see yours.

i havent listened to all, but its easy to say

Pre-Pet Sounds > Post-Pet Sounds

for your list, i would switch Surfs Up as second, and Smile as Friends

edit: oh sht, your right, i really didnt mean to post pre > post.. Pet Sounds is my favorite by them, i seriously hate their early works.
