The band was made up of three brothers, a cousin, and a high school friend. Brian Wilson, a co-founder of the band predominantly wrote most of the band's songs and became one of the most significant songwriters of the 20th century.]]> 2017-10-26 14:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/david_viefhaus1/1jv6iom7r8lu/wish/200848835 david_viefhaus1 https://padlet.com/david_viefhaus1/1jv6iom7r8lu/wish/200853258 During the time of the boy's coming up, they had many musical influences. Their influences range from Chuck Berry to The Beatles. The Beach Boys' song "Surfin' U.S.A." got them sued due to it sounding like Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen."]]> 2017-10-26 14:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/david_viefhaus1/1jv6iom7r8lu/wish/200853258 david_viefhaus1 https://padlet.com/david_viefhaus1/1jv6iom7r8lu/wish/200862689 According to music journalist, Stephen Davis, Pet Sounds is the first rock concept album which then came greats such as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band by The Beatles and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. During the era of Psychedelic Rock, the Beach Boys had high-charting psychedelic rock songs.  "Their song "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" is credited for being the first in popular music to feature the Electro-Theremin and the first in rock music to feature a theremin-like instrument."

Their lyrics mostly consisted of cars, girls, California, surfing, teenage fun, and occasionally all of the above in one song. The Beach Boys became the sound of California due to their Surf Rock sound and lyrics. Their music touched the hearts of many Americans, close to the beach or not. For the ones who weren’t accessible to the beach, they would go see movies that had everything the Beach Boys sung about. ]]> 2017-10-30 14:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/david_viefhaus1/1jv6iom7r8lu/wish/201754624
