The Beach Boys

Every single music lover on the face of the earth owes it to themselves to listen to 1966-73-era Beach Boys! Smiley Smile, Wild Honey, Friends, Sunflower, Surf's Up, and Holland are IMO some of the best albums of the late 60s and early 70s.

 

i like their song "sufer girls.. two girls for every boy..."

 

wouldn't it be nice

 

yes it would.

 

surfin usa!

 

Great underrated band...good enough to compete with the the Beatles. Pet Sounds is another album of theirs worth checking out.

 

pet sounds it's such a beautiful album!

 

The Beach Boys was something else I don't think they made a bad song.

 

Surfer Girl, Little Deuce Coup and so on. Great songs. Not to nitpick or anything but the lyric "Two Girls For Every Guy" is from Surf City by Jan and Dean.

 

Good Vibrations is the best!

 

The Beach Boys have consistently cranked out great tunes. IMHO Smile is the height of their talent, and shared a stalemate with Sergeant Pepper. Brian Wilson has been one of the most talented musicians in the US, and the world. His brother Carl started to take over the reigns after that and they still made great music, which is chronically underplayed and underrated (though we do get to hear "Oh Darling" and "Do It Again" occasionally on the radio), but it isn't quite as good as what Brian was more directly in control of.

 

Wasn't Brian once involved with Charles Manson?

 

i just met a woman
on my way home
she just BLEW my mind
my heart was a thumpin'
i mean aaall the way home
got to know the womaaaan
yeeeah
got to know the womaaaan

 

Dax--yes. He hung with Brian for a while trying to get his (Mansons)-music noticed.

 

I think Good Vibrations ranks with there with-- A Day in the Life.

 

It was actually Dennis. Charles wanted to make some music, & was hoping Dennis would help out. Then stuff happened.

 

Most of their music was before my time, but what I most remember was this song..........
