Image:BeachBoysFriends.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Why was this moved? Is someone going to start another article called Friends (xxxxx album)? If not, shouldn't this just stay at Friends (album)? I'm sorry, but this just seemed kind of pointless. MookieZ 16:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm only five years late to the reply, but I would suggest this to be as a simple "just in case" measure for any other notable artist who has, or will, ever release an album titled "Friends".
It may seem pointless, but it's  best to get easy changes out of the way early and seem redundant than wait until the change needs to be made.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Styk0n (talk • contribs) 03:15, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

When I switched to the tracklist template, I put 'instrumental' under lead vocals for Passing By. There are vocals in the song, but they are wordless, and it would be a stretch to me to say that they were lead vocals. But, if anyone wants to change it, go ahead, I don't really care. The hummers/ooh-ers are Brian, Al, and Carl. Santa Claus of the Future (talk) 15:08, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
On the song "A Saucerful of Secrets," released in 1968 by Pink Floyd from the album of the same name, features David Gilmoure as "lead vocals" despite the actual vocal accompaniment of the song being more consistent to wordless monk chanting. 
I have taken the liberty to change the classification from "lead vocal = B. Wilson" to "lead vocal = B. Wilson/C. Wilson/Jardine (wordless)"
If this is too specific, incorrect, or otherwise misinformed, please correct any mistake I have made. Cheers.

How plausible is it that "Do It Again" was actually issued to recuperate from Friends? I'm not aware of how quickly Capitol would have known the sales figures. Would it have been before July 6? And if not, would two days have been enough time to press up a new single? It seems as though the band would have issued the song regardless of how well the album did.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 19:09, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
