[hide] *1 Biography  ==Biography[ Edit] == ===Early Years[ Edit] === With hard hand spurred by father and manager Murry Wilson, himself a little successful songwriter, made the guys music in the style of The Four Freshmen, with harmonious singing the leading role. The single the Surfin' from 1961 became a hit and was typical of the direction the band would follow the next few years: a combination of surf music, a style which until then had been mainly instrumental, and texts about surfing, cars and girls. Singles and albums were released at a rapid pace. Al Jardinesays: "The Beach Boys themselves were our biggest competitors".

Leader of the band was Brian Wilson, who also wrote most of the songs and that especially from the third lp also a gifted producer turned out to be. At the end of 1964 the shy Brian decided to no longer do live concerts and more on writing songs and producing erect. His replacement in the live band was Bruce Johnston. Murry Wilson was fired, with which the complete artistic freedom was for Brian. As he discovered the possibilities of the studio more he wrote more complex music, which he left a play by the best studio musicians. The other members of the group later added the vocals far. ===Pet Sounds[ Edit] === Then in 1965 The Beatles released the album Rubber Soul was this for Brian the inspiration for Pet Sounds, which appeared in 1966 and recently by the magazine "Rolling Stone Magazine" was named the second-best album ever. This album, which for that time for pop music unprecedented complex music and personal texts contained, was received with rave reviews but sold in America worse than the previous albums. In Europe, the popularity of The Beach Boys, however, by considerably, and for the first time The Beatles had serious competition in the charts. The later single Good Vibrations, whose recordings lasted six months in three different studios, became a big hit. ===Depression<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Encouraged by this success summed up Brian the plan for an album that Pet Sounds would surpass in all respects. Together with lyricist Van Dyke Parks and a variety of session musicians worked Brian in the studio to this album, called Smile, while the band was on tour. Hours of music were recorded but only few numbers were really finished. The negative responses of the other Beach Boys on the lyrics by Van Dyke Parks and the unprecedented complex music that Brian made the sentence in the project lost. When in 1967 The Beatles their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band , released NOTABENE inspired by Pet Sounds, this meant the final death blow.Smile was officially cancelled and Brian got into a heavy depression.

The successor Wild Honey has a very different, unpolished sound because Brian withdrew himself as a producer and even includes some pure soul songs. From 1968 Friends from the other members of the band performed more in the foreground and bleaching, with the exception of Mike Love, all good song writers. Although the level of Pet Sounds the band knew was also never achieved with minimal involvement of Brian Wilson still good albums, admittedly partly due to finishing songs from Smile. 20/20 is a collection of singles and remaining songs, includingCabinessencethat was intended as one of the cornerstones of Smile. This album also contains the song Never Learn Not to Love that Dennis Wilson connected his name but that in reality was written by his friend Charles Manson. ===Revival<span class="mw-editsection" len="332" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The band made a short-lived artistic revival after ex-journalist Jack Radakovic manager of the band was. Sunflower from 1970 benefited from strong compositions of all members, but was nevertheless the only selling album since the creation of the band. The 1971 album Surf's Up is now as a highlight in the oeuvre of The Beach Boys regarded, not only because of the title referred to number for Smile but also by numbers as Long Promised Road, written by Carl Wilson, Bruce Johnston and Disney Girls . The new image measured by Radakovic is paying off and the band is "hip" in the United States. ===Downhill<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Bruce Johnston leaves the band in 1972 from dissatisfaction with the role of Rad. At the time of the albums Carl and the Passions, So Tough (1972) and the Netherlands (1973) recorded in Holland made two black South Africans, Ricky Fataar and Blondie Chaplin, part of the band, who thereby won momentum. This line-up made especially during gigs big impression. The great commercial success of the compilation album Endless Summer would, however, in 1974 the band artistic demise of usher. Manager Jack Radakovic was fired and replaced by Mike Loves brother, Steve, that a return to the surf sound stood for. Fataar and Chaplin left the band; Fataar popped up later on as a member of The Rutles, a parody on The Beatles. Chaplin made since then some solo albums and played with The Band and The Rolling Stones.

With great fanfare, the ' Brian's Back ' campaign, was Brians return in the band announced. Brian could not, however, live up to the high expectations. There were then no longer made really good albums, and the only artistic highlight from this period is Dennis Wilson solo album Pacific Ocean Blue. Dennis Wilson drowned in1983, before his second album Bamboo was finished. Brian Wilson got into the ban of the controversial psychiatrist Eugene Landy, who in 1982 was approached again to help Brian. Landy, however, his whole life would go master. Brian Wilsons first solo album appeared In 1988, where Landy would have worked as an songschrijver to.A low point was further brought the lawsuit that Mike Love against Brian Wilson about overdue copyright fees.

The very last Beach Boys-would album Stars and Stripes vol. 1, from 1996, which were sung by famous countryzangers old successes and the Beach Boys provided the backing vocals only. Carl Wilson's death from cancer in 1998marked the final stop for the group. Mike Love (with Bruce Johnston returned in 1979) and Al Jardine tours today, each with its own band with which they performed especially old successes continue to bring. Brian Wilson has been working since 1988 solo. Supported by his backing band, including the members of the Wondermints,Smile still was finished. During a successful European tour in 2004, Smile integral live. Later that year the album also appeared on cd. ===Reunion album 2012<span class="mw-editsection" len="337" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In 2012 appeared for the first time since 1996 a new studio album of the group. The album with the title that's Why God Made The Radio is included in 2011 and 2012 for the 50th anniversary of the group. The basic composition of the group is Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks. The stable's pick up Marks was remarkable, because he was part of the Group officially only two years, from 1962 to 1963. It was also the first studio album without Carl Wilson, who died in 1998. The album was largely produced by Brian Wilson and obtained in the us the fifth place in the Billboard 200.
