    An incredible musical talent for sure. The genius that almost singlehandedly - and inadvertently - opened the door for the progressive genre.

    Although, I honestly cannot recall ever owning a BB or Wilson record - or choosing one on a streaming service.

    That might change today! RIP <rose>

    I will do - it has some great tracks on it, like Sail on, Sailor. Although thats the thing...I 'know' a lot of their music and appreciate his influence - just never stretched to actually following him as a fan.

    Mrs B has an offer on her Blue Light Card, for up to 4 tickets for the Forever Now Festival at Milton Keynes (22 June), for just the booking fee ONLY.

    That's £2.50 per ticket....

    ...£2.50 per ticket <wah>...

    The best Beach Boys songs are the early surfing, cars and girls songs. The later, more experimental stuff, much like with The Beatles, is an acquired taste.
    Such pure melodies. A massive influence on so many of the bands I listen to.
    But Wilson owes a massive debt to Chuck Berry - as The Rolling Stones. The best music is often plagiarised to some great extent.

    There has been an outpouring of grief from Beach Boys fans around the world after the tragic news that Mike Love is still alive

    I've got a tape of 'Beach Boys 20 Surfing Greats". It belonged to my old man, who played it when cruising around, looking for conquests, in a convertible metallic purple Triumph Stag...great car, but a bit of a mid-life crisis.

    I used to nick the tape to play whilst skateboarding. It still plays, which is more than I can currently manage...<laugh><doh><wah>
