The Beach Boys are known for their sun-kissed sound with beautiful vocal harmonies, rich musicality and lyrics about the California lifestyle, including fast cars, women, and surfing. The group solidified the "California Sound," along with pioneers Jan and Dean, and made waves in the early 60s with hits like "Surfer Girl," "California Girls," "I Get Around," "Little Deuce Coupe," "409," "Surfin' U.S.A.," and many more. By the time 1966 rolled around, The Beach Boys were working on their eleventh album, which would shatter the mold and go on to inspire musicians around the world and revolutionize the music industry.
