From "Almost Famous" to "American Graffiti" and "Full House," Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys have soundtracked some of Hollywood's biggest titles.

Brian Wilson’s 1966 masterpiece is now considered a crowning achievement of music. The album’s reputation grew over time.

Brian Wilson was a troubled genius who made so many people happy but had far too much sadness in his life already.

The bulk of his best work came with the Beach Boys, a band that got branded as the essence of sun, fun, sports, and teenage love, which he took to an exponential level with the sublime quality of his music.

From 1988 to when he stopped touring in 2022, Brian Wilson forged an admirable solo career worth remembering. He played South Bend several times.

Worcester police ordered the curtain down on the Beach Boys’ performance and called off the sold-out show on Friday, Oct. 30, 1964, after an estimated 500 youngsters in an overflow sell-out crowd of 3,500 stormed the stage.

The Beach Boys are known for their catchy tunes, but one of their most popular songs continues to baffle fans who are still trying to make sense of its meaning
