dbp:description
  • "Surfin' U.S.A." was a rewrite of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen" with lyrics about surfing, later becoming one of the best known surf rock songs. (en)
  • "God Only Knows" conditions its tonality between the keys of E and A major, which according to musicologist Stephen Downes, was innovative even in the context of the song's Baroque antecedents. It is often praised as one of the greatest songs ever written. (en)
  • "Good Vibrations" was the Beach Boys' third single to top the Billboard Hot 100. It proliferated a wave of pop experimentation with its rush of riff changes, echo-chamber effects, and intricate harmonies. (en)

dbp:quote
  • I think a lot of critics punish the band for not going beyond "Good Vibrations" ... they love the band so much that they get crazy because we don't top ourselves. ... [but] growth in this business is tough. (en)
  • For the artier branches of post-punk, Wilson's pained vulnerability, his uses of offbeat instruments and his intricate harmonies, not to mention the Smile saga itself, became a touchstone, from Pere Ubu and XTC to and the Pixies to U2 and My Bloody Valentine. (en)
  • When we did Wild Honey, Brian asked me to get more involved in the recording end. He wanted a break [because he] had been doing it all too long. (en)
  • We needed to grow. Up to this point we had milked every idea dry [and did] every possible angle about surfing and [cars]. But we needed to grow artistically. (en)
  • [Love] had a hand in a lot of the arrangements. He would bring out the funkier approaches, whether to go shoo-boo-bop or bom-bom-did-di-did-did. It makes a big difference, because it can change the whole rhythm, the whole color and tone of it. (en)
  • Though the Beach Boys are often caricatured as the ultimate white, suburban act, black R&B was crucial to their sound. (en)
