Yeah….. but The Beach Boys neglected to have twerking dancers at their shows. Culturally deprived. /sarc
“Don’t Worry Baby” foreshadowed later brilliance, imho.
Definitely my favorite song of theirs.
Wouldn’t it be Nice is one of the greatest songs of the 60’s.
Geez I always thought it was a nod to several different songs from the 50s on the same subject.
It’s interesting to hear how much revision can be involved until a song is finished. Sounds like patience is key. Warmth of the sun is great as well...so many goodies from Brian.
Al Jardine sang lead vocals. He never got enough credit for what he brought to the band.
nkmk
Was it actually about a hetero couple?
Or maybe two people with alternate pronouns?
Asking for a friend...
A time of innocence. Then JFK was killed. Innocence gone-vacuum. The Beatles filled it.
???
Could not be improved upon.
I know...I love the Beach Boys.
Probably my first favorite band.
He did contribute a lot to the band, but sang lead on only a few songs, Help Me Rhonda being the only notable one. Brian Wilson and Mike Love were the main lead vocals.
Way too sappy for me. My son born in ‘87 loves them since he was little lol
For high school Senior Follies (’69), a group of us...4 guys and 4 girls...sang several songs. The girls sang a song; we all sang a second song; then us guys did a final song...the Beach Boys “409”. We nailed it.
The good old days...
Were you a tenor?
Peak-era Brian Wilson 1964-67... was there ever any more all-around talented overall musician? Someone who who could compose, sing, arrange & produce? The man was like a supernova of talent, so I guess it’s not surprising that he burned out. Not to say that he didn’t do some great stuff later on... because he did... but it was sporadic and not quite up to the standards that he set in the mid-’60s.
