Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Atrist:The Beach Boys
Song:Wouldn't It Be Nice
Album:Pet Sounds




The Beach Boys were probably the most popular American pop group of the 60s. It was a family group with the three Wilson brothers (Brian, Carl & Dennis), cousin Mike Love and high school chum Al Jardine. By 1964, Brian Wilson stopped touring and locked himself in his home recording studio. His audio experimentation resulted in Pet Sounds, considered by many to be their greatest album. It's still a landmark recording though at the time it didn't do as well as expected. Capitol has just released a 40th Anninversary Edition of Pet Sounds. As with previous reissues, this has mono & stereo versions (Brian is deaf in one ear so he recorded in mono) and also comes with a DVD with a documentary The Making Of Pet Sounds & an interview with Brian Wilson among other things. Pet Sounds is an essential CD for your collection.
