Anyone want anything?
I really want "Black Pearl" by Sonny Charles and the Checkmates. Co-write by Toni Wine, and my coolest backstage experience ever was having Robert Pollard sing it to me while we talked bubblegum after a Guided By Voices show.

Oh bother, it's not on the list.
Sadly, not on this collection.
ETA: Got momentarily excited when I did a search through my music and came up with it. Then I realized it was the theme from Pirates.
D'uh!

Yeah, I don't really have a lot of meet-your-heroes stories, but that experience was great.
I'm still playing around with trying to get an evokes California/lounge/beach/sixties soundtrack going.
So far I've got:
Caravan- 80 Drums Around the World
Surfer Girl- The Beach Boys
Telstar- The Tornadoes
Misirlou- Martin Denny
I Only Want to Be With You- Shelby Lynne (has a wicked nice lounge feel)
God Only Knows- The Beach Boys
If I Fell- Evan Rachel Wood (From Across the Universe
Suggestions?

I'm curious about this version, because I *love* this song and firmly believe that nothing beats Dusty.

Surf City - Jan and Dean
King of the Surf - The Trashmen
Barb, "Pipeline" by the Chantays may have the deadliest bass line ever. And a surf music set doesn't really feel complete without something by Jan and Dean, but I can't think of anything that really fits -- maybe "Dead Man's Curve."
And I mention "Beach Baby" by First Class not so much because it fits with the rest of your list, but because it's a great '70s surf sound record that deserves to be remembered. And it isn't.
