Murry Wilson, a Hawthorne, California factory foreman who also dabbled in songwriting, had three sons: Brian, Carl and Dennis. The Wilson boys sang together throughout their childhood, often joined by their cousin Mike Love, the son of Murry's sister.

However, by the end of 1964 the stress of composing, producing, ''and'' performing and the competition from Music/TheBeatles led Brian to suffer a nervous breakdown and retire from touring. At around the same time, Murry's domineering personality and questionable business sense started to get out of control, so the band (i.e. ''his own sons'') fired him. While the rest of the group toured (with first Glen Campbell and then Bruce Johnston taking Brian's place), Brian stayed at home writing music and utilizing the studio talents of The Wrecking Crew, leading to more advanced-sounding albums such as ''Music/TheBeachBoysToday'' and ''Music/SummerDaysAndSummerNights''.

The Beach Boys basically coasted along for the rest of the '80s and '90s, their only major blip on the radar being the 1988 hit "Kokomo". As Brian Wilson was at his worst (weighing over 325 pounds), he was subjected to Landy again in 1982, and for the next 10 years, Landy would not only treat Brian's illness in extreme and questionable ways, but also fully integrate himself into his business and musical affairs, isolate Brian from his friends and family, and leech thousands of dollars off of him for years. A court case in 1991 was successful in separating Brian from Landy's negative influence. He recovered substantially, and in 1996, he was persuaded to briefly rejoin The Beach Boys as a producer. Though things started off well with brilliant songs like "Soul Searchin'" and "You're Still A Mystery", at the end they decided to create the ill-conceived ''Stars and Stripes Vol. 1'', a patchy album of Beach Boys covers sung by country artists. Any chance of a reunion that actually counted for something was cut short by Carl Wilson's 1998 death from lung cancer.

** Some might say they reached a political peak when Jack Rieley was their manager. He encouraged them to stray away from what the band was singing since the sixties and co-wrote on some songs off albums such as ''Music/Surfsup'' and ''{{Music/Holland}}'' (making the band one of the first major pop acts to sing about ecology, for example). During that same era, the inclusion of Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar (who both came from UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica which still had Apartheid legislation back then) as official band members was also shown as proof that The Beach Boys weren't a bunch of out-of-trend white dudes.

* VocalEvolution: More like "vocal devolution" in the case of Dennis Wilson. While still a capable vocalist in the 1970s despite his smoking, drinking, and drugging, he was pretty much croaking out his words as he spoke to the crowd and sang "You Are So Beautiful" at the band's Fourth of July concert in 1983, just a few months before his drowning death.

** According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, ''Summer In Paradise'' had minimum contributions (mostly or entirely vocal) from Carl Wilson or Al Jardine (and, of course, none at all by Brian Wilson, who was in litigation to remove himself from Dr. Eugene Landy's services). The album was entirely driven by Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and Terry Melcher on an early version of Pro Tools digital recording software, and the bass and drums were entirely synthesized.

* CutAndPasteTranslation: The Japanese version of ''Shut Down Volume 2'' had "Hawaii" (from ''Surfer Girl'', not released in Japan at the time) replacing "Why Do Fools Fall in Love". The reason was likely that Hawaii was equally popular as a holiday destination for Japanese people as it was for people in the US (and indeed, there is a large Japanese population in Hawaii), so it was likely thought of as a potential hit single.
** The UK LP version of ''Sunflower'' adds the single rerecording of "Cotton Fields" to the start of the album, and for unknown reasons, switches the positions of "Got To Know The Woman" and "Deirdre".

* FreeHandedPerformer: Mike's stage performances are a slight subversion of the trope. Early in the band's career, he provided (very limited) saxophone input on songs such as "[[Music/SurfinSafari Ten Little Indians]]" and "[[Music/SurfinUSA Shut Down]]" and would later play a simplified version of the theremin while performing "[[Music/SmileySmile Good Vibrations]]" on stage. Following the mid-seventies, he would go back to being the regular tambourine-shaking lead singer (and he still does, [[LongRunner 60 years in his career]]).

* YoungerThanHeLooks: Despite only being in his twenties during the band's most successful period, Mike Love had a receding hairline and a much more mature face than the baby-faced Wilson brothers. As such, he looked much older than he actually was (hell, in some pictures he looked like he could've been the Wilson brothers' ''uncle'' rather than their cousin). When he grew his beard out in the late '60s, he could've passed for a man in his early to mid fifties. Once he lost the beard in the '80s, though, he actually looked much younger and has barely aged at all since then.

* MusicIsPolitics: Mostly averted with The Beach Boys as they have rarely tackled on political subjects when you take into account more than two hundred songs about summer, cars, surfing, women, or love. This is mostly due to Music/MikeLove who was strictly against unclean lyrics (as demonstrated by his discontentment towards the original drug-related lyrics of Music/PetSounds' "I Know there's an Answer") which could also include political ones.
