I love the Beach Boys, the honestly are so great and truly understand how voices should work together! They are famous for their absolutely stunning harmonies and trust me, when you hear them (if you haven't already) you will just understand immediately. They have really sweet and clever songs too but for me it's always their voices that make such an impression on me! The Beach Boys formed in 1961 but a lot of their best hits were produced a bit later. Ok so I promise I won't rant off giving you every song like I did for the Beatles, so just 3 for now...
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE: This is such a beautiful little song. I feel kind of like I have run out of adjectives after all these critiques but I honestly do find it very hard to dislike much of their music. This is probably one of their most famous but it is really one of the good ones, and worth a listen to hear their beautiful voices together.
GOOD VIBRATIONS: Starts so gently and with just a few instruments and then into the pre-chorus, they just sort of burst into a lively, harmonious rut....I also love the drumming in this song specifically. This is also one of their most popular and was released in 1966. Right at the end, about 2,30 minutes in, they have a really pretty quite verse just before the chorus again that really sounds so so good.
SURFING IN THE USA: this is a really sort of "summer jam" song, really easy listening and again a great display of their beautiful voices. It just makes me happy to listen, so do yourself a favor and click play, whether you have heard it or not, it will not disappoint.
SURFIN SAFARI: Need I say more? Rather just listen!
Listen to the whole album if you like what you hear, it's called PET SOUNDS
Enjoy
