Music 40 Best Beach Boys songs, second website

You Beach Boys They joined in the early 1960s in California. The band has become a reference within the middle of rock and over the years has launched a series of hits.

Amid the almost 30 studio albums that the group released, The Guardian selected a list of its 40 best songs. “Good Vibrations” It was launched in 1966 and occupies the first position. Alexis Petridisauthor of the selection, explained:

“In the documentary Long Promissed Road, Don Was tries to explain the production techniques of Brian Wilson Playing your old multi-tracks. But it doesn’t work: ‘I don’t know how he did it,’ says Was, confused. “Good Vibrations”It is proof of these inexplicable powers. An act of unprecedented audacity, the song was assembled from fragments recorded in four different studios. But it doesn’t sound like a avant -garde experiment: it sounds like a breathtaking single, with endless changes and transitions that merge in a perfectly structured and incredibly exciting. Invention and boldness of the 1960s pop?

In sixth place comes “WOULDN’T IT BE NICE”also from 1966. The composition is described as “An amazing song”:

“The clear call of PET SOUTHS Shows Brian playing everything against the wall – time changes, risky shade changes (the first one happens at six seconds), instruments made unrecognizable for their studio techniques, such beautiful and complex harmonies that they did Carl [Wilson] Crying in the studio – and everything works: an amazing song. ”

Prior to “WOULDN’T IT BE NICE”we have “California Girls”in the seventh position. The song brings a curious story, as it was composed thanks to a hallucination of Brian, caused by LSD.

“The contrasting personalities in the center of the beach boys gathered in a stunning pop pack. [Mike] Love They provide a tribute to sunny women of the band’s homeless state, equal parts of lust and cheerleader of the ‘we are the best’. Already Brian’s impressive instrumental introduction seems to have come from a totally different world: reflective, autumn, loaded with sadness. ”

“This Whole World” occupies the 22nd position. Launched in 1977, some say that the composition is another work of Brian Chapado.

“Legend has it that Brian wrote ‘This Whole World’ While ‘stoned and confused’, which seems remarkable given the large number of changes in music and its spiral euphoria mood. Your Coda Cappella – with Carl’s falsette about a wall of support vocals – is as overwhelming as anything in the Beach Boys catalog.
