Brian Wilson started the Beach Boys in 1961. Doo-wop inspired their earliest songs. However, they were about themes of interest to California teens, like cars, surfing, school, and love. Over the decades, they had 40 Billboard hits. Later, they introduced elements of jazz and progressive music. Their Pet Sounds album is one of the best ever, and it significantly influenced the direction of the Beatles and subsequent popular music. We will discuss the Beach Boys' cultural phenomenon and groove to many of their greater and lesser-known songs.
