The Beach Boys are an American rock and roll band, first formed in 1960. The act first gained popularity as the musical spokesmen for surfing, girls, and cars, but their chief composer Brian Wilson's growing creative ambitions transformed them into a more artistically innovative combo.

The primary group comprised singer-musician-composer Brian Wilson; his brothers, Carl and Dennis; their cousin Mike Love, and friend Alan Jardine. This core quintet, along with David Marks and Bruce Johnston, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Especially well known for their distinctive vocal harmonies, the Beach Boys have been called "America's Band."

The Beach Boys had thirty-six U.S. Top 40 hits, the most of any U.S. rock band, including four #1 singles. (The band Chicago is second with thirty-four Top 40 singles.)

Many changes in both musical style and personnel have occurred during their sometimes stormy career, notably Brian Wilson's mental illness, drug addiction, and eventual withdrawal from the group; the deaths of Dennis Wilson in 1983 and Carl Wilson in 1998; and extensive legal battles between members of the group. After Carl Wilson's death, founding member Al Jardine was fired by Mike Love. However, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston leased the rights to the name from Brother Records and continue to officially tour as The Beach Boys.

    Beach Boys in the news

    I don’t even own a PS3, X-BOX 360 or Wii, but the graphics on this bad boy make me want to go out and buy a system. Is it just me, or does this game look unbelievable? Pretty fucking brutal, too. If this title includes most of the current UFC roster (we know that both Chuck Liddell and Rampage will be included), and its gameplay is responsive, then
