Artists starting with Beach Boys

Beach Boys, “Holland” (Brother/Epic, 1972)
This is the Boys at peak mellow. With its drifting-cloud tempos and piano that sounds like it was recorded in the depths of one of the city’s canals, this gives every sign of having been fueled by bales of Amsterdam’s finest combustibles. As compellingly hedonistic-utopian a representation of life in the hammock as their early work was of life on the curls.
Try 1 and 3, 4, 5 (comprising an epic trilogy!)

Beach Boys, “Summer Days and Summer Nights” (Capitol, 1965)
The Boys at arguably their peak, one foot still in the streamlined, ice-cream-paint-job pop-rockabilly-plus-hormones of their early era, the other stretching into the light-and-shadow mode of Brian’s melodically shifting introspections.
