During the sixties and into the seventies, one band defined the American pop song like no other. The Beach Boys' blend of surf music, pop sensibility and musical experimentalism helped set the stage for a musical revolution.
Just as important as the melodies of Carl, Mike, Brian, Al and Dennis was the songwriting and studio prowess of Brian Wilson. This was made abundantly clear with their stunning 1966 release, Pet Sounds.
In 2004, Brian Wilson released his intended follow-up to Pet Sounds, entitled "SMiLE," to much acclaim.
