Line #4 YMMV/TheBeachBoys


1	* ArchivePanic: '''27''' studio albums, a massive supply of unreleased songs and outtakes, hours of studio sessions, a frankly absurd amount of ''Smile'' material, and an endless deluge of illuminating footage of concerts, interviews, promos, and other assorted segments. People keep discovering new stuff all the time, and the group even released a series of 'copyright extension' archive releases consisting of outtakes, demo and live material. Despite releasing a whole host of rarities on other releases, these are still full of songs they never previously released. And to make matters more complicated, some are digital only and some are not.
2	* TheArtifact: "Take A Load Off Your Feet" sticks out like a sore thumb on "Surf's Up" because it was an outtake from "Sunflower". The initial version of "Surf's Up" (then titled "Landlocked") was largely a Sunflower outtakes album, but gradually newer tracks changed the album to have a darker, more surreal feel. "Take A Load Off Your Feet" stuck around because Al Jardine had made up his mind it was going on the next album no matter what, regardless of its fit with the album.
3	** In a similar, but less band-related way, the single remake of "Cotton Fields" ended up on the UK version of Sunflower because the UK label had been told it was an extract from a forthcoming album and thus promoted it accordingly. It would not have appeared on the US version, because The Beach Boys US label had changed from Capitol to Warner at this point.
4	* AscendedFanon: The band finally made the fanmade outtake compilation "Landlocked" canon - sort of - with the vinyl edition of the Feel Flows box set. The 3rd and 7th sides of the album are designed to be outtakes albums for Sunflower and Surf's Up respectively, with the 4th and 8th sides also featuring the occasional one. The CD box set doesn't follow this due to containing a lot more tracks.
5	* BaseBreakingCharacter: Music/MikeLove is often criticised for turning the group into an oldies act in the 80s. He's still at it to this day, while excluding Brian and Al from the lineup.
6	* BrokenBase:
7	** To be a Beach Boys fan can mean many things. Some fans' interest begins with ''Pet Sounds'' while others prefer the catchier early hits and don't have ''Pet Sounds'' or ''[=SMiLE=]'' on their radar at all, except perhaps "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "God Only Knows," and "Good Vibrations". Such were the many distinct phases of the band, it's understandable.
8	** There is a substantial division between people who think Brian is the second coming of Christ and people who think he indirectly held the Beach Boys back after his breakdown.
9	** "Kokomo" is one of the band's most divisive songs, with people either loving or hating it for the same reasons: its yacht rock sound, its very '80s production values, and its lyrics about vacationing in the Caribbean. Is it a fun, catchy song that harkens back to their early work, or an annoying and repetitive sellout song that betrays the innovation of the band?
10	* CommonKnowledge: Brian's CreatorBreakdown after failing to deliver ''Smile'' marked the start of his estrangement from his bandmates and the music business more generally. In fact, Brian was still heavily involved in the writing and production of the band's "lo-fi" trilogy of ''Smiley Smile'', ''Wild Honey'' and ''Friends''. It was only around the time of the ''[=20/20=]'' sessions in late 1968 when the demands of Capitol records and the disappointment of the Beach Boys' dwindling commercial prospects really began to take their toll on his mental health.
11	* CoveredUp:
12	** Songs mainly associated with the Beach Boys in spite of the fact that they didn't record them first include "Little Girl (You're My Miss America)" (originally by Dante and his Friends), "I'm So Young" (originally by The Students), "Barbara Ann" (originally by The Regents), "Sloop John B" (a traditional Bahamian folk song), and "I Can Hear Music" (a cover of [[Music/RonnieSpector the Ronettes]]).
13	** In the other direction, the Beach Boys wrote and performed the original version of "Little Honda". However, it was the Hondells, a studio group produced by Gary Usher, who had a Top Ten hit with the song.
14	* CreatorWorship: Music/BrianWilson is often hailed as the singular genius of the Beach Boys, one of the most acclaimed artists of the 20th century, and the main reason why they could be considered rivals to Music/TheBeatles.
15	* CriticalDissonance: ''Music/PetSounds'' was one of the first albums to have this happen, drawing critical raves but comparatively slow sales. "Kokomo" was and continues to be slammed by critics and hardcore fans alike, but [[CriticProof that didn't stop it]] from becoming a #1 hit back in 1988 and from being one of their most well-known songs overall.
16	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
17	** Music/DennisWilson, transitioning from pretty-boy drummer to highly sophisticated songwriter in nothing flat.
18	** Music/CarlWilson went from an originally just the lead guitar player in the shadow of Brian and Mike to eventually becoming regarded as the band's best singer.
19	** Murry Wilson has become a figure of BileFascination for some fans, centering around his drunken ramblings on the "Help Me, Rhonda" recording session tapes ("Brian, I'm a genius too") and his own corny music (which some listeners feel has a certain amount of NarmCharm). There's the animated series ''WebAnimation/RockNRollDad'', and indie musician George Faulkner has recorded a whole album of previously lost Murry songs.
20	* FandomRivalry: There's a bit of this with Music/TheBeatles, in part because the two bands themselves had something of a {{friendly rivalry}} during the 1960s where they kept trying to top each other's records.
21	* FanonDiscontinuity: Most fans would prefer to believe that the band stopped making records after the 1970s, or that they broke up after the deaths of Dennis or Carl.
22	* FridgeBrilliance: "When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)" ends with a repeated coda listing ages, whilst Brian sings "won't last forever, it's kind of sad"...and to underline the point of the lyrics, it ends far sooner than you expect it to.
23	* GatewaySeries: Along with Music/TheBeatles, The Beach Boys are a common entry point for '60s rock and psychedelia in general.
24	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: During the late '60s and early '70s when the band was tanking in America, they found much greater success elsewhere, especially in Europe. Examples include:
25	** "Do It Again" (#20 US; #1 UK and Australia)[[note]]In the US, they may have fallen victim to a change in policy in the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in early 1968, which put heavy emphasis on sales over radio airplay. In general they fared better in the competing ''Cashbox'' and ''Record World'' charts, which used airplay more, with "Do It Again" hitting the Top 10 in both charts[[/note]]
26	** "Bluebirds Over the Mountain" (#61 US; #9 Netherlands)
27	** "I Can Hear Music" (#24 US; #4 Netherlands)
28	** "Break Away" (#63 US; #6 UK)
29	** "Cotton Fields" (#103 US; #1 Australia, Norway, and Sweden)
30	* GrowingTheBeard: ''The Beach Boys Today!'', particularly the second side. The upward trend culminated with the incomplete ''Music/{{Smile}}'' and Music/BrianWilson's breakdown. Depending on how you look at it, they either subsequently went through continuous SeasonalRot, or the other members grew their own beards (figuratively and literally. Though Bruce Johnston only grew a mustache).
31	* HarsherInHindsight:
32	** A comedy sketch "'Cassius' Love Vs. 'Sonny' Wilson" from ''Shut Down Volume Two'', has Music/MikeLove and Music/BrianWilson engaged in a mock-insult war in the studio. Later on, Mike would sue Brian for publishing royalties and song credits over songs with lyrics Mike wrote, after Brian got control of his '60's publishing company back.
33	** "I'm Bugged At My Ol' Man" from ''Music/SummerDaysAndSummerNights'' is the lament of a teenager who has been grounded by his father for staying out too late, with the specifics of his punishment exaggerated and PlayedForLaughs. At least, we hope they were exaggerated. It would later come out that Murry Wilson, father of three members of the band, including the song's vocalist and songwriter Music/BrianWilson, had a history of physically and emotionally abusing his sons. This makes lines like "I wish I could see outside/ but he tacked up boards on my window" seem less humorous than they were originally meant to be. Making matters worse, only Carl and Dennis join in this song to make it seem like the three brothers collectively lamenting their abusive childhood in darkly comedic fashion.
34	** 1988's "Kokomo", with its references to Caribbean vacation-paradise islands, lost some of its charm when Montserrat ("...that Montserrat mystique...") was economically and geographically devastated by the Soufriere Hills volcano in the '90s.
35	*** Aruba, the very first place mentioned in the lyrics, is now best known to Americans for the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalee_Holloway Natalee Holloway]] disappearance.
36	** Early pressings of the ''All Summer Long'' album mis-labeled the song "Don't Back Down" as "Don't ''Break'' Down". Took on a whole new meaning with Brian's deteriorating mental and emotional state as the '60s progressed.
37	** "Spring Vacation", a track from ''That's Why God Made the Radio", is a song about the band's joy at making music together again and leaving their old feuds behind them, which can be pretty depressing when you know that those feuds would start up again almost immediately.
38	** "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)": Brian and Marilyn would divorce in 1979. He wouldn't love his wife for the rest of his life... (Slightly lessened by the fact they they are happily remarried to other people).
39	*** The entire song paints a picture of youthful optimism for adulthood, but Brian faced much hardship for most of his adult life, including dealing with his abusive father Murry (who managed the band during their formative years), battling mental illness, languishing in depression due to the failure of his pet project [=SMiLE=] and the low sales and critical panning of its single "Heroes and Villains", dealing with substance abuse, and being taken advantage of by his abusive therapist Eugene Landy. Thankfully his life would improve again when Landy was legally removed from his life.
40	%% ** "Caroline, No" sparked speculation that Brian was secretly planning to leave the group because he was the only voice on the track.
41	** ''Music/SummerInParadise'', the band's only album not to involve Brian Wilson and which cemented their reputation as a washed-up act trying to coast by on [[NostalgiaFilter selling nostalgia back to their original fans]] and failing to appeal to children with out-of-touch musical trends like {{piss take rap}}ping and synth-heavy pop production, was released one month after Music/BarenakedLadies' ''Gordon'', the debut of a young, new band (who'd later become popular for their dorky raps) and one of the earliest albums of [[AlternativeRock a genre that]] ''[[AlternativeRock was]]'' [[AlternativeRock popular and growing in popularity at the time]], and which features both one song about Brian Wilson ("Brian Wilson") and another about a washed-up pop star struggling to keep their career afloat with nostalgic rebranding and shameless trend-riding ("Box Set"). And it leads the new band to a long, prosperous and highly respected career while the old one shoots itself in the foot with their album a month later, ending their good reputation forever. It's both eerily prophetic and kind of meta.
42	* JerkassWoobie: If one is familiar with a lot of Dennis Wilson's private life, he can definitely come off as this.
43	* MemeticMolester:
44	** Music/MikeLove because [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBFsJk6PWu0 it's a love thang]].
45	** Likewise, here's him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CevS-GwsCPU wanting to change a little tomboy for... reasons....]]
46	* MemeticMutation:
47	** "Brian Wilson is a genius!"
48	** The one-liner "The Beach Boys were right: it ''would'' be nice."
49	** '''WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]When performing "Be True to Your School" live, Mike will start by singing the first word of the song for an extended amount of time in his trademark nasal voice to a comedic degree.[[/labelnote]]
50	** Thump Wilson[[labelnote:Explanation]]The name of a supposed "lost" Wilson brother, usually paired with pictures of Beach Boys lookalikes.[[/labelnote]]
51	* MisattributedSong: You have to feel sorry for Music/JanAndDean. Even though they preceded the Beach Boys, they were ultimately overshadowed by them, and even worse, many of their hits are often erroneously assumed to be Beach Boys songs.
52	* MisBlamed: People blame Mike Love for everything that went wrong with the Beach Boys. While he deserves ''some'' blame, most of the accusations toward him are grossly simplified, and in some cases, could be applied in equal measure to Brian or the other group members.
53	* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: A good 38 years after ''Smile'' was aborted, Brian Wilson finished it.
54	* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: Carl and Brian's voice along with the original group blend.
55	* OlderThanTheyThink: A lot of the band's post-'60s output was written (and sometimes recorded) several years before making it onto an album.
56	** "Darlin'" (released on ''Music/WildHoney'' in 1967) and "Back Home" (released on ''15 Big Ones'' in 1976) were both written in 1963 and not for a particular album. The unfinished album "Smile" and early versions of "Sunflower" produced a number of songs that ended up on later albums as well.
57	** Music/BrianWilson initially stopped touring with the band in 1963 as soon as Al Jardine became available again, as he disliked performing live. This led to a period where both Al and his replacement David Marks were in the band, ending after a few months when David Marks quit due to his dislike of Murry Wilson. [[note]] and, by David Marks's own admission, a slight distrust of Al [[/note]] Brian was thus forced to return to the touring band, only for him to leave again in 1964 when he had a breakdown, when he was replaced initially by Glen Campbell, and for the long term by Music/BruceJohnston. Biographers often forget (or don't know about) the first time he left, but it is significant for two reasons: one that Brian's problems started far earlier than he's credited with, and the other being that Marks and Jardine played in the same band (which they wouldn't do again till Carl Wilson having to leave the band due to illness in the 90s).
58	* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Most people think of the Beach Boys as a campy baby-boomers boy band, and even when ''Music/PetSounds'' is brought up, the impact and innovation of the album can be lost on many young listeners unless they're familiar with the era it was recorded in.
59	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Music/MikeLove and Music/AlJardine on ''Music/{{Holland\|1973}}''; Mike penned "Big Sur", and Al penned "The Beaks of Eagles" and "California". All three of these songs are sublimely beautiful, melancholy, and poetic. The same can be said about Bruce Johnston with "Tears in the Morning" on ''Music/{{Sunflower}}'', "Disney Girls (1957)" on ''Music/SurfsUp'', and even the {{Instrumental}} "The Nearest Faraway Place" on ''Music/TwentyTwenty''.
60	* SeasonalRot: Their entire career is basically a crash course of this phenomenon in music, even though their early '70s albums have been VindicatedByHistory:
61	** By 1966, the Beach Boys were regarded as one of the top innovators of pop music [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff (albeit mostly in the UK)]] with the release of their revolutionary album ''Music/PetSounds''. Music/BrianWilson intended to follow up with an album called ''Music/{{SMiLE}}''. [[TroubledProduction Long story short,]] the project fell apart due to a multitude of factors (a few of which include Brian's rapidly declining mental health at the time and, depending on who you ask, Mike Love) and a stripped-down version called ''Music/SmileySmile'' was released in its place, to the disappointment of many (although the album has since been VindicatedByHistory), and [[CreatorBreakdown it all went downhill from there.]]
62	** Music/BrianWilson rapidly withdrew from the band from that point on, and his brothers, Carl and Dennis Wilson, rapidly took over leading the band for him as their songwriting abilities grew. This led to some cult-classics like ''Wild Honey'' and ''Sunflower'' [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic (the latter being considered to be one of the Boys' greatest albums)]]. Unfortunately, they were never able to achieve the same commercial success as their 1960s hits, nor did their albums come close to being as critically revered as ''Pet Sounds''.
63	** By 1971, Brian had almost completely withdrawn his involvement in the band, and by 1973, Carl and Dennis's leadership diminished due to substance abuse and Dennis's struggling battle with his own inner demons. In 1974, their original label Capitol Records released ''Endless Summer'', a compilation of their old hits which quickly became one of the best-selling albums of the 70s, easily outselling their other 70s efforts, and cementing the band's status as an oldies band. To ride off of this, an attempt was made to bring Brian back to the band's forefront in 1976, which included making him tour with the Beach Boys again (he previously quit touring with them in 1965 due to mental health issues) and produce several more albums. The resulting "Brian's Back" trilogy consisted of the underwhelming ''15 Big Ones'', the [[BrokenBase divisive]] ''The Beach Boys Love You'', and the [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes unreleased]] ''Adult/Child''. Brian quickly receded back into the background as it quickly became clear that he was in no shape to continue touring or produce anymore Beach Boys albums, and spent the remainder of the 70s and most of the 80s undergoing therapy by the [[ControlFreak infamous]] [[PsychoPsychologist Eugene Landy]].
64	** At this point, Mike Love has taken role of the leader, and many fans agree that the band quickly went downhill under his leadership. Throughout this period, the Boys released a series of increasingly hated and poorly selling albums (including a thinly-veiled attempt at catering to the disco crowd during the disco backlash), while their 1960s chart-toppers (with occasional songs from ''Pet Sounds'') dominated their live set to attract the nostalgic crowd. The death of Dennis Wilson in 1983 also served to be a serious blow to the band. Their reputation rapidly declined further, and by the end of the 70s, the Beach Boys were looked down upon by the mainstream as a [[AccidentalPun washed-up]] oldies band.
65	** However, in the mid-to-late-80s, the band managed to briefly propel themselves back into relevancy with their 1988 hit single "Kokomo", which was famously featured in the Creator/TomCruise movie ''Film/{{Cocktail}}''. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, although fans are very mixed on the song. Mike Love, in an attempt to make lightning strike twice, spearheaded production for their 1992 album ''Music/SummerInParadise'' (their first and only album without ''any'' involvement from Brian Wilson whatsoever), intended by Love to be "the quintessential soundtrack of summer". It was promoted with the band guest-appearing on the popular sitcom ''Series/FullHouse'' (with one of the actors from the show, John Stamos, singing a reworked version of "Forever" on the album) and performing the album's lead single, "Summer of Love", on the action drama series ''Series/{{Baywatch}}''. Despite the band's best efforts, the album bombed spectacularly (selling only around 10,000 copies ever, though the actual sales number is rumored to be ''even less''), killed the band's comeback in its tracks, and went on to be regarded as the band's worst album, with even Love appearing to disown it in the decades since its release.
66	** The band attempted to follow up with a cover album of old Beach Boys songs sung by country singers, this time with Brian Wilson's (who was recently separated from Landy and administered proper treatment for his mental illnesses) involvement, albeit with little input from him. The result was ''Stars and Stripes Vol. 1'', which was a critical and commercial failure, failing to break the Billboard 200. [[FranchiseKiller Any further Beach Boys projects were shelved indefinitely]], [[FromBadToWorse and to put a cherry on top]]: Carl Wilson, often regarded as the band's best singer, died two years after the album's release. The band limped through the 2000s as a live band while Al Jardine and Brian Wilson distanced themselves from the Beach Boys (leaving Mike as the only founding member left in the band), the latter went on to have a successful solo career ([[SavedFromDevelopmentHell including the completion and release of the long awaited]] ''[[SavedFromDevelopmentHell SMiLE]]''.)
67	** In short, the Beach Boys slowly went from one of the most critically acclaimed rock acts of all time to industry laughingstocks and back again, and is presumed to be the reason why so many Beach Boys fans ''deeply'' resent Mike Love. While the albums that came after ''Pet Sounds'' and before ''15 Big Ones'' went on to become cult classics ([[BrokenBase again, YMMV on]] ''[[BrokenBase Love You]]''), people prefer to forget about anything they did after that. However, they finally started to reverse their decline with the well-received 2012 reunion album ''That's Why God Made the Radio''. Unfortunately, [[HappyEndingOverride this victory was short-lived,]] as Brian, Al, and David Marks (who re-joined for the reunion after decades of absence) were kicked out of the band by Mike Love, and the Beach Boys went back to being a live band. And with Brian quietly retiring from touring in 2022, a second reunion is unlikely.
68	* SignatureSong: Many, but "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Good Vibrations", "Surfin' USA" and "God Only Knows" are the ones that tie for gold.
69	** While "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is their most streamed song, "Good Vibrations" is their biggest hit of their mid-late 60's line-up, even reaching #1 on the US charts, and their ''second'' most streamed song.
70	** Then, there's "California Girls", according to Brian.
71	** "Forever" and "God Only Knows" are such signature songs for Dennis and Carl Wilson that on their 2012 reunion tour, the Boys performed the two songs using a large video projector with old footage of Dennis and Carl singing the lead vocals.
72	** Going by album, we have:
73	*** ''Surfin' Safari'': the TitleTrack.
74	*** ''Surfin' USA'': the TitleTrack.
75	*** ''Surfer Girl'': the TitleTrack, "In My Room" and "Little Deuce Coupe" (and the latter also counts as the signature song of its eponymous album).
76	*** ''Shut Down Vol. 2'': "Don't Worry Baby" and "Fun, Fun, Fun".
77	*** ''All Summer Long'': "I Get Around".
78	*** ''Christmas Album'': "Little Saint Nick".
79	*** ''Today'': "Help Me Rhonda", since it was originally released here; however, the more popular version of it is on ''Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)''; otherwise, "Dance, Dance, Dance".
80	*** ''Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)'': "California Girls".
81	*** ''Party!'': "Barbara Ann".
82	*** ''Pet Sounds'': "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "God Only Knows" and "Sloop John B".
83	*** ''Smiley Smile'': "Good Vibrations".
84	*** ''Wild Honey'': "Darlin'".
85	*** ''20/20'': "Do It Again" or "I Can Hear Music".
86	*** ''Sunflower'': "Forever".
87	*** ''Surf's Up'': "Feel Flows".
88	*** ''Holland'': "Sail On, Sailor".
89	*** ''15 Big Ones'': "Rock and Roll Music".
90	*** ''The Beach Boys'': "Getcha Back".
91	*** ''Still Cruisin''': "Kokomo".
92	* SoBadItsGood: ''Love You'' has this reputation to some.
93	* {{Squick}}: The song "H.E.L.P. Is on the Way" provides a fair amount of this, as no one wants to imagine Mike Love stark naked in front of a mirror. It only gets worse as the band begins to describe stomach pumps and enemas.
94	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:
95	** Despite its critical acclaim, a good chunk of the band's main audience, who were mainly exposed to the sun, surf and girls imagery of their earlier work, didn't know what to make of ''Music/PetSounds''' orchestrations and introspective lyrics when it was first released. By the same token, the concept could just as easily apply to fans who did not take to the Beach Boys' music regardless of quality without Brian Wilson's involvement or his studio experimentations.
96	** The 2022 reissue of their best-of compilation ''Sounds of Summer'' was criticised for including clearly-rushed stereo remixes of a few songs, which many compared to a bad AI extraction. The worst example might be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SNXYv36SE4 the stereo remix]] for "Surfin' Safari".
97	* TooCoolToLive: Dennis and Music/CarlWilson, noted for making some of the best creative contributions to the band outside of Brian's involvement and for dying prematurely.
98	* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Even as the quality of their music began to decline, Carl Wilson could always be counted on to deliver a [[StealthPun passionate]] vocal performance.
99	** The most infamous example is probably "Problem Child" music video where Carl is notably the only one who doesn't have some sort of mishap befall him thanks to Junior's pranks, and he just throws himself into an admittedly silly throwaway song.
100	* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The [[https://img.discogs.com/kxY9TaPHwhtCQ5xqA1tvdow8XMg=/fit-in/600x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1029084-1285098794.jpeg.jpg cover]] of the Time-Life compilation ''Beach Boys: 1962-1967''. The band's faces were obviously sourced from another picture, slapped on top of their bodies and very poorly retouched, resulting in them looking ''very'' unnatural.
101	* VindicatedByHistory: Despite having some hit singles like "Sloop John B" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice", ''Music/PetSounds'' was not a big seller initially. Years later it would be recognised as one of the greatest pop albums of all time.
102	** You can say that their albums between ''Music/PetSounds'' and ''15 Big Ones'' have been vindicated, as they didn't get much notice upon release, but has since gained recognition, albeit not to the extent ''Pet Sounds'' has.
103	* TheWoobie: Brian Wilson, in every possible way.
104	** All the Wilson brothers qualify, though Carl to a slightly lesser extent while Dennis is closer to JerkassWoobie.
105	* WTHCostumingDepartment:
106	** The group were still donning their trademark candy-striped shirts as late as 1967, which did absolutely nothing for their hipness quotient at the time.
107	** In concert in the 80s, they had such different styles of dress that you'd be forgiven for wondering if they were actually a band and not just a random group of people playing Beach Boys songs. Mike and Music/BruceJohnston often dressed like they were on a golf outing, Music/AlJardine would wear Hawaiian shirts, Carl would often wear a suit, while Brian would wear sleeveless denim shirts.
108	** Music/MikeLove's a legend when it comes to clothing, particularly his [[http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,1990.msg116121.html#msg116121 many hats]].

Context YMMV / TheBeachBoys
