Not enough Beachboy tunes either, IMHO.
Roger that. If the list was honest it would be 9 Beach Boys songs plus Jan & Dean's "Surf City".
It can be argued by aficionados and players of the genre (like me) that proper surf music is instrumental.
If the point of the music is to evoke the sensation of riding a wave, the anticipation, elation and aftermath of same, then lyrics and vocal parts can be viewed as surplus to requirements, even distracting. Surf’s simplicity - two guitars, bass, Fender amplifiers and a basic drumkit, along with mostly novice musicians - is its calling card.
I suppose it’s an insider/outsider debate but surf compilations (from Guitar Player Magazine, Rhino Records, et al) usually restrict themselves to instrumentals.
"SURF CITY" by Jan and Dean is #9 on the list.
