The Beach Boys are an American rock band from Hawthorne, California that formed in 1961. Their vocal harmonies, early surf songs, and innovative recordings remain a massive influence on popular music today.

Beginning their career as the most popular surf band in the nation, the Beach Boys finally emerged by 1966 as America's preeminent pop group, the only act able to challenge (for a brief time) the overarching success of the Beatles with both mainstream listeners and the critical community. From their 1961 debut with the regional hit "Surfin'," the three Wilson brothers – Brian, Dennis, and Carl – plus cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine constructed the most intricate, gorgeous harmonies ever heard from a pop band.

With Brian's studio proficiency growing by leaps and bounds during the mid-'60s, the Beach Boys also proved one of the best-produced groups of the '60s, exemplified by their 1966 peak with the Pet Sounds LP and the number one single "Good Vibrations." Though Brian's escalating drug use and obsessive desire to trump the Beatles (by recording the perfect LP statement) eventually led to a nervous breakdown after he heard Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the group soldiered on long into the '70s and '80s, with Brian only an inconsistent participant.

Beach Boys' Christmas Album features the Beach Boys performing a variety of holiday favorites. Most of the featured songs are well-known, some of the more popular being "Frosty the Snowman," "White Christmas," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," and "I'll Be Home for Christmas," among others. Furthermore, there are four songs composed by the Beach Boys — "Little Saint Nick," "Man With All the Toys," "Santa's Beard," and "Merry Christmas, Baby" — which begin the album. This mix of favorites and originals makes this a balanced holiday album that should please both Beach Boys admirers and those unfamiliar with the group. ~ Jason Birchmeier

The Beach Boys Après avoir démarré leur carrière comme le groupe surf le plus populaire du pays, en 1966 the Beach Boys sont devenus le groupe pop le plus célèbre d'Amérique, le seul à avoir pu rivaliser (pendant une courte période) avec le succès universel de the Beatles. Dès leurs débuts en 1961 avec "Surfin," ils créent les harmonies vocales les plus complexes et les plus belles qu'on ait jamais entendues chez un groupe pop. Ils se distinguent aussi en étant l'un des groupes les mieux produits des années 60, l'illustration en est le succès de Pet Sounds et "Good Vibrations" en 1966. Leur travail d'après 1966 est souvent dénigré, mais il faut reconnaître qu'ils ont continué à produire de la bonne musique jusque dans les années 1970 et même au-delà.

BEACH BOYS NASSAU COLISEUM 1974 - Classic Beach Boys Broadcast Recording Of A Show Hailed As Being Among Their Best Ever By 1974, due in part to the shrewd organisational skills of new-boys Ricky Fataar and Blondie Chaplin alongside those of BB evergreen Mike Love, the success of two Greatest Hits albums and the mega-selling 1973 In Concert album, The Beach Boys were being dubbed one of the best American live acts around, even rivalling the likes of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young for ticket sales. The band s renewed, positive profile was summed up best by Rolling Stone, who named them their Band Of The Year. The Beach Boys performed 100-plus shows across North America in 1974, and on 14th June they packed out the 14,500-capacity Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, NY, performing what is now hailed as one of the group s finest ever shows. The subject of a live FM radio broadcast transmitted across the United States, the group played an extraordinary setlist featuring cuts from across their career, including the best tracks from their more recent albums like Holland, Carl And The Passions and Surf s Up alongside their better known 1960s hits, giving this concert an eclectic edge, a dynamic feel, and a delightful ambience.
