Jellatine Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I looked and looked, and couldn't find a topic of them! Shame on you, SBC lol Anyway, one of the greatest bands that started out in the 60's, and popularized what we call Surf rock. Discuss here! One of my favorite songs by them is Good Vibrations ♥.♥ It makes me feel all jolly when I listen to it ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Jenkins Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I like Kokomo and Hawaii. The song they made for James Dean when he died was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clappy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I hear that Sauce and UC were the inspirations behind the song California Girls. All kidding aside, the Beach Boys are rad. Love Good Vibrations. One of my favorite songs of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyanideFishbone Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) One of my favorite bands. Sloop John B. is amongst my favorite songs ever. Edited August 14, 2017 by CyanideFishbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cha Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 They're definitely a favorite band of mine. I love their sound and my favorite song from them would probably be California Girls. I have many good memories from this song/band growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWM Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I don't listen to them often, but they do have good talent. They're really good at harmonizing, and some of their songs get stuck in my head all the time, like Good Vibrations and Wouldn't It Be Nice. Spoiler400th post!

Elastic Dawg Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I stick by my earlier opinion. In the 60s/70s they did an awesome job mixing psychedelia, surfing, and pop muzak. Their 80s stuff is really unbearable, though. Especially "Kokomo". That song is closer to Jimmy Buffett garbage than anything. Still an important and fantastic group when they were in their prime, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminoob Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I think That's Why God Made the Radio is in my Top 10 favorite albums. It's all so great. Especially Spring Vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel the Wolfgirl Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 SMiLE is their best album, even though it was never given a proper release as scheduled. Don't believe me? Listen for yourself. Though in terms of what I like about the Beach Boys in general, I mainly listen to their beach period stuff. Nothing like bubblegum pop about cars, surfing and girls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't fucking believe 12 year old me said Kokomo is among my favorite songs ever. That song is complete garbage, glad I finally woke up and now agree with the majority opinion. This band's original stuff is really dope. Fucking love it, and yeah, Sloop John B. comes close to some of my favorite songs ever fucking written. I remember it blew my mind the first time I heard it. There's nothing like 60's pop about surfing, girls, and adolescence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cover of Misirlou is far better than Dick Dale's version, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverGreen Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I just recently listened to their song, "Little Honda," for the first time EVER!!!! Did NOT realize what an INSTANT classic that was! I need to listen to more obscure-sounding titles like THAT! And I also listened to the "Pet Sounds" album (in full), for the first time EVER!!!! I can SEE why THAT album influenced "Sergent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"! Enough said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
