''[=SMiLE=]'' is the legendary "lost album" by Music/TheBeachBoys. Planned for a 1967 release, it was going to be a ConceptAlbum to follow up on ''Music/PetSounds''. But due to Brian Wilson's slow CreatorBreakdown, which culminated after listening to "Strawberry Fields Forever" by Music/TheBeatles, he abandoned the project, and ''Smiley Smile'' was released instead.
