Both songs have gone up in my estimation a fair bit over the years, but BRY was starting from a much higher place.

Around The Bend had been added to my daughter's sleep playlist and I'm beginning to appreciate it more.

No it shouldn't. BRY is fantastic, but Around The Bend is slightly better.

Love 'em both but Around the Bend is a true original in the catalogue. They somehow managed to do beach music without it sounding lame.

I will never understand this board's love for BRY, which isn't much better than "Sweet Lew", really.

Now you contrasted the two, I may actually prefer Sweet Lew to BRY.

BRY is leagues better than Sweet Lew. That's why.
