The Beach Boys
Brian Wilson formed The Beach Boys, originally the Pendletones, with Mike Love, Al Jardine, and his brothers Carl and Dennis, in 1961. The group initially found success as a novelty act of sorts, releasing a string of singles that related almost exclusively to California and surfing: “Surfin’,” “Surfin’ Safari,” “Surfer Girl,” “Surfin’ USA,” etc. By 1964, Wilson’s ambition had reached a boiling point and he declined to tour with the rest of the group, instead focusing on his role as songwriter and arranger. A run of increasingly sophisticated releases followed, and in 1966 the Beach Boys released what is generally regarded as their magnum opus, a paean to the trials of adolescence and beyond entitled Pet Sounds.
Soon after, the Beach Boys released “Good Vibrations,” which Wilson described as “a teenage symphony to God.” The track was remarkable in its breadth and innovation - at the time, it was reportedly the most expensive track ever recorded. It moved quickly to #1.
