Ze hadden in ieder geval eerder een plaat uit ("Surfin' Safari" oktober '62, "Please Please Me" maart '63).
Maar wat een geniale band blijft het toch... Ik heb periodes dat ik er nauwelijks naar luister, maar iedere keer kom ik toch weer terug bij een klein aantal artiesten die nooit gaan vervelen - waaronder de Beach Boys dus...
Vaak zijn hun albums een beetje samengeraapt naar mijn idee, juweeltjes worden afgewisseld met troep die je nog voor het nummer is afgelopen alweer vergeten bent. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan het album Surf's Up. Geniale nummers Long Promised Road en de titeltrack worden afgewisseld met bagger van de bovenste plank als Take A Load Off Your Feet of Don't Go Near The Water. Terwijl er zo veel gave nummers zijn die ze nooit officieel hebben uitgebracht op een album, zoals San Miguel, Soulful Old Man Sunshine en Still I Dream Of It.. Om het natuurlijk nog niet eens te hebben over de originele Smile opnames uit '66/'67

Mijn favorieten:
All Summer Long
Beach Boys Today!
Pet Sounds
Smiley Smile
Friends
Sunflower
Holland!
