The Beach Boys

Quote:
The Beach Boys are an American rock band. Formed in 1961 the group gained popularity for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a California youth culture of cars and surfing. Brian Wilson's growing creative ambitions later transformed them into a more artistically innovative group that earned critical praise and influenced many later musicians.
The group initially comprised singer-musician-composer Brian Wilson, his brothers, Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. This core quintet, along with early member David Marks and later bandmate Bruce Johnston, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. The Beach Boys have often been called "America's Band", and Allmusic.com has stated that "the band's unerring ability... made them America's first, best rock band." The group has had thirty-six U.S. Top 40 hits (the most of any U.S. rock band) and fifty-six Hot 100 hits, including four number one singles. Rolling Stone magazine listed The Beach Boys as one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. According to Billboard, in terms of singles and album sales, The Beach Boys are the No. 1 selling American band of all time.
Many changes in both musical styles and personnel have occurred during their career, notably because of Brian Wilson's mental illness and drug use (leading to his eventual withdrawal from the group) and the deaths of Dennis and Carl Wilson in 1983 and 1998, respectively. Extensive legal battles between members of the group have also played their part. After Carl Wilson's death, founding member Al Jardine was ousted by Mike Love. As of 2008, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, along with a backing band, continue to tour as The Beach Boys, retaining the name after a legal dispute. Al Jardine and Brian Wilson also continue to tour with their own respective backing bands, as of 2008. All three groups continue to play Beach Boys hits.

They're one of my all time favorite bands. I'm a born and raised Southern Californian, so for me, the Beach Boys feel like my culture! I love them so much...their music NEVER fails to put me in a good mood and they make me feel incredibly nostalgic!

Anyway, here are some of my favorite Beach Boy songs ("Don't Worry, Baby" and "God Only Knows" are some of my all time favorite songs, period, not just favorite Beach Boy songs).
"Don't Worry, Baby"

Count me in for Beach Boy love. I totally agree. "God Only Knows" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice" are in my Top 10 for sure.

Who doesn't love The Beach Boys? "Disney Girls" is one of my favorite songs ("God Only Knows" is another one - just listened to it today!).

I tought already existed a thread for The Beach Boys, but I guess not.
I love this band forever, thereīs no better music for the summer, I donīt get tired of listen their songs.

Love all the songs in general, my favs. are "Good Vibrations", "Donīt worry baby", "Surf in USA" & "Wouldnīt it be nice".

One of greatest bands ever!
