Who are the Beach Boys?

Answer 1

The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys are an American rock and roll band. One of the biggest music groups of all time, The Beach Boys recorded thirty-six U.S. Top 40 hits (including four #1 singles) and many best-selling albums. They have sold more singles and albums than any other American rock band and had the most Top 40 hits of any U.S. rock and roll band, with Chicago at a close second place. Performing since 1961, the Beach Boys are America's longest running continuous rock group, and are especially well known for their distinctive vocal harmonies, which Brian Wilson arranged with both jazz vocal and doo-wop influences. Unique among rock & roll groups, each member of the Beach Boys is a gifted and important lead singer.

The act first gained popularity as the musical spokesmen for surfing, girls, and cars, with many radio-friendly hit records; later, Brian Wilson's growing creative ambitions transformed them into a more artistically innovative act. In the mid-1960s he expanded on the group's recorded sound by importing Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound musicians "The Wrecking Crew" and composing/producing more album-oriented work. As a result he transformed not only the group's image and status (particularly in Europe), but developed a fresh palate of musical concepts and production techniques, the influence of which continues today. The Beach Boys are second only to their main competitors in Pop Music, which were The Beatles, artistically, and Motown, sales-wise.

The group is comprised of composer/arranger/producer Brian Wilson (bass/keyboards); his brothers Carl (guitar) and Dennis (drums/keyboards); their cousin Mike Love, and friends Alan Jardine (guitar), David Marks (guitar) and Bruce Johnston (keyboards/bass). By the end of the 1960s all band members were writing and producing songs for the band. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and have been called "America's Band."1

Their music falls into the categories of rock & roll, pop, psychedelic, R&B, singer-songwriter, AOR, & rock.
