|
| Not everything here was a hit--some were B-sides, like the all-but-perfect ballad "The Warmth of the Sun," and others, like the brilliant psychedelicization of Ersel Hickey's rockabilly classic "Bluebirds Over the Mountain," were released during the period in which the Beach Boys had lost touch with the counter-cultural zeitgeist (i.e., before their early-'70s comeback). Nevertheless, most everything here is a gem. "Wild Honey" and "Darlin'" are highly credible R&B pastiches proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Beach Boys had soul. |
|
| "The Little Girl I Once Knew" is one of Brian Wilson's post-"California Girls" mini-symphonies, a structural marvel with the longest silent pause ever heard on a Top-40 single. "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)" mates a drop-dead gorgeous melody line and harmonies to a remarkably sophisticated consideration of adolescent angst (eat your heart out, Backstreet Boys). PET SOUNDS capper "Caroline No" may well be the most beautiful love song written in the second half of the 20th century. And "Don't Worry Baby" remains the most poignant song ever written about a crisis of confidence brought on by drag racing--who else would even have thought to write it besides a tortured genius like Brian? |

Artist/Group
| Overview |
| Admired for both their infectious surfer music and their sophisticated, multi-tracked pop productions, the Beach Boys created a lasting impression on popular music through their complex harmonies and Brian Wilson's genius for composition and arrangement. Their 1966 album, PET SOUNDS, is a baroque/psychedelic-pop masterpiece that easily ranks among the most influential albums of the rock era. Brian's emotional difficulties eventually prevented him from performing, but his brothers and buddies carried on without him, singing his songs and spreading that California sunshine all over the world. In 1999, Brian launched a solo world tour, showcasing his Beach Boys compositions, and has continued to perform live as well. |
