beach boys



The beach boys are one of the greatest rock/pop bands of the 1960’s. The beach boys had a lot of success it there time and they were known as America’s band. The  beach boys formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961 and the  band member were  3 brothers Brian, Carl, Dennis Wilson and their cousin mike love and there two friends Al Jardine and  David marks. There famous  album  was released  in 1974 and the album was called endless summer. Some of the songs it this album were all summer  long, you’re so good to me, be true to your school, shut down, and The warmth of the sun. The beach boys have  record  36 billboard on the top 40 hits and they have also sold about 100 million sales of their music.  The beach boys basally wrote there music about having a free life and  being young in the California dream. They showed very fast development in the 1960's kinda  like the Beatles. The beach boys were  a great band all in all but in great rock bands there is always a dark side to everything  with drugs! The main person who did this was one the one  and only Brian Wilson. He suffered very bad from this addiction with drugs and it didn't help that  he had a mental illness either. It got so bad with the drugs and everything that  he withdrawal himself from the band. In the later years  Carl and Dennis Wilson died and in 2011  the five  group member who were still alive put  on a show for everyone for the last time. The biggest accomplishment  that the beach boys had is when 1988 when the original beach boys when everyone was in the band got inducted  into the rock and roll hall of fame. I really wish music could like it was in this time period because the music right now is awful!
