The Beach Boys The Beginning
The Beach Boys all started with Brian Wilson. He
became increasingly interested in music, and
began watching his father play the piano and
listening to the radio. Eventually, Brian began
to teach his brothers the vocal harmonies to some
songs they knew. Much time was spent sitting
around a piano and singing.

The album Pet Sounds was the peak of The Beach
Boys Creativity. It is a critically acclaimed
album about which is noted That the complicated
harmonies and rhythms are brilliantly crafted
The Beach Boys eventually ceased any production
of new material. This was mostly in part because
of Brian Wilsons desire to produce more
complicated artistic music. Brian wanted to
push the limits that the band could go to, and
the band didnt like this because it was TOO
different from their own style.
