The Beach Boys were one of the most popular singing groups of the 1960s. The band was famous for their songs about surfing, California, and girls. Many of their albums rocketed to the top of the charts. But which one was their most popular?
The Beach Boys’ history as a band
The Beach Boys were formed in 1961 in California, made up of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and a friend named Al Jardine. The band was a true family affair; the Wilsons’ father Murry served as their manager, while Brian was the creative mind behind the group’s hit songs.
The group continues to tour today, but Love is the only original member who still performs. He is typically joined by a changing lineup that includes longtime stand-in Beach Boy Bruce Johnston and guitar player and vocalist Scott Totten, among others. Actor John Stamos also frequently performs with the band.

Without Brian Wilson, the world would be devoid of West Coast anthems like “California Girls,” “Good Vibrations” and “Surfin’ U.S.A.”
The musician and record producer, who founded the Beach Boys in 1961 with his brothers Dennis and Carl, as well as their cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine, is the subject of a new documentary, “Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road.”
Directed by Brent Wilson, who has no relation to the singer, the film is premiering at this year’s Tribeca Festival on June 15. “Long Promised Road” features guest appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Elton John and Nick Jonas and gives the Beach Boys icon an opportunity to reflect on his life and music.

At the dawn of the Seventies, the Beach Boys had a lot to prove. Their pop success was a thing of the past — even artistic triumphs like Pet Sounds and Wild Honey were commercial flops. The boys of summer were pushing 30 by now, bearded dads reckoning with marriage, divorce, changing times. When they went to work at Brian Wilson’s home studio on Bellagio Road in Bel Air, they were struggling to find their place in a new world that had written them off as a nostalgia act. But the...

On August 14th, 1987, pioneering hip-hop heavyweights the Fat Boys cemented their status as one of rap’s premier pop culture ambassadors with the simultaneous release of their platinum-selling fourth album Crushin’ and their breakout comedy Disorderlies. With a matchless mixture of skills, charisma, a tireless work ethic, a sense of humor and a powerful mouth-powered rhythm machine, the trio of Mark “Prince Markie Dee” Morales, Damon “Kool Rock-Ski” Wimbley and Darren “Buff Love” Robinson (a.k.a. “the Human Beatbox”) was integral in bringing rap music to the attention of mainstream audiences.

Tens of thousands of people have signed a new Change.org petition demanding that The Beach Boys cancel their upcoming Wednesday concert at a convention in Reno, Nevada that many say honors trophy hunting.
The convention, run by Safari Club International, has been widely criticized for glorifying the killing of bears, lions, bald eagles, chimpanzees, parrots, and turtles as “trophies” for hunters.
The petition, which has 55,000+ signers and climbing, is one of the most popular petitions on Change.org this week and has drawn the endorsement of Brian Wilson and Al Jardine, founding members of The Beach Boys. The Beach Boys currently tour with two members, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston.

"It's totally different to anything that was going on at that time. It was the leader, and everybody followed that." Showtime has debuted a teaser trailer for their new documentary The Beach Boys: Making Pet Sounds, telling the story of The Beach Boys iconic album. The film features exclusive interviews with Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks, and will explore "the story of the creation of the record that cemented The Beach Boys reputation as a leading force to rival The Beatles." The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds was released in May of 1966, and the film chronicles their time in and out of the studio creating the songs. This first aired on BBC, but Showtime has added new footage for the Us premiere. This might be a good companion to the Brian Wilson film Love & Mercy from a few years ago. Take a look/listen.
