As iconic groups go, there isn’t a group who conjures up a particular image when their name is mentioned than the Beach Boys. You think summer, happy, free music, a lifestyle a way of living in a time of idealism of simpler things.
The group formed in Hawthorne California in the United States in the early 60’s. They are widely thought of and credited as one of the most influential rock and pop groups of all time. With tons of top 10 hits and plenty of US Number 1’s, best selling albums it’s no surprise people think this way and certainly no surprise when they were invited into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
The original line up was the Wilson brother Brian, Carl and Dennis with cousin and brilliantly named Mike Love their friend Al Jardine and David Marks. A somewhat turbulent career led to many inevitably to many changes to both personnel and style. Brain unfortunately suffered from a mental illness and drug addiction and left the group and the deaths of Dennis and Carl left the band with the remaining members still fighting for control of the group.
This turmoil can’t overshadow the amazing array of hits the band gave the world, California Girls, Surfing USA and Wipe Out even this day are embedded in teenage minds, simply because the songs resonate with thoughts of summer and good times.
To this day the band have a huge following from a vast array of demographics, they seem to have a timeless quality like a fine wine or a vintage car, there is something comforting about the music something uplifting in the tune which fans hold dear to this day.
