What are they? I'm not asking about the biggest hits or songs that most typify the surf sound, but your personal faves- the songs that always make your hair stand on end, inspire you and make you tell everyone else in the room to shut up for a minute.
In no particular order (and with my fave version), I offer:
1- Camel Walk (Parts 1 & 2) - The Saxons
2- Sunset Beach - The Surf Piranahs
3- Dreams - The Surf Coasters
4- Rell Sun Aloha - Slacktone
5- The Breeze and I - The Vibrants
6- A Run for Life - Dick Dale
7- Quiet Surf - Richie Allen and the Pacific Surfers
8- Surf Party - The Astronauts
9- Solaris Stomp - The Space Cossacks
10- The Cruel Sea - The Ventures (Live in Japan version)

Laika & the Cosmonauts - Aztec Two-Step
Laika & the Cosmonauts - Floating

Man, this was tough to narrow down. In no particular order (after the first 3) ...
- Ventures - Journey to the Stars
- Crossfires - Fiberglass Jungle
- Dick Dale - Misirlou
- Jim Messina & the Jesters - Yang Bu
- Surf Coasters - Intruder
- Fender IV - Mar Gaya
- Vistas - Moon Relay
- El Caminos - Big Surf (I like their version way more than the original.)
- Satan's Pilgrims - Creature Feature
- Pollo Del Mar - A Flash of Green
-Warren
— That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.
