There are a lot of good Beach Boys songs, but only four (I Get Around - peaked at No.1 on the Fourth of July, 1964, Help Me, Rhonda - 1965, Good Vibrations - 1966 and, 22-years later, Kokomo - 1988) went to Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart.

Which songs, if you could go back and change history, would you have as a chart-topper? Which song deserved to go to No.1 but was stopped short?
