The Beach Boys were never not cool.

Shortly after that release, two greatest hits compilations did just fine, “Endless Summer” and “Spirit of America”. The Beach Boys aren’t supposed to be relevant. They are supposed to be fun!

Jimi Hendrix in the song Third Stone From the Sun had the lines:
So to you I shall put an end
And you’ll never hear surf music again ...
That sounds like a lie to me
Come on man, let’s go home.
Background:
Music journalist Peter Doggett notes the irony of the surf music reference. In 1970 Hendrix wrote music for the soundtrack for Rainbow Bridge. His music is heard during surfing scenes. Pioneer surf guitarist Dick Dale (early hit with Misirlou) believed the mention was Hendrix’s way of encouraging his recuperation when Dale was seriously ill.

It was all downhill after “Pet Sounds.”

I quite liked the early and mid-60s beach boys material. Still do. However by 1970/ 71 I had moved on to the doors, steppenwolf, Deep purple
Relevant? How about Steppenwolf’s Monster? That was a lot more relevant in my opinion.

Wokesters will find this version of one of the Beach Boys' early hits uncool because it mentions South Africa (before the ANC took over). This was only issued as a demo, but I like it better than the hit version.

“Feel Flows” is as great as anything the Beatles did

The song “Surfs Up” off Smile has the best vocal harmony line I have ever heard ever.
