Congratulations to Brian and the Beach Boys!

Capital Records must be happy, too. Maybe this will help with moving forward on the next studio album.

No matter what the future brings I just feel happy for Brian!

[Zander]

So So Proud , and MANY thanks to Alan mentioning our recently departed good friend Les Chan xx

For once, they got the result right at the Grammys - and I concur Rob, lovely touch...

Doesn't it just make you want to give him a big hug!

So true !
Congrats to Brian and the rest of the team

Can someone explain to me why TSS wasn't in the Best Boxed or Special Limited Edtion Package category? TSS should've at LEAST been nominated, it was amazing...

No specific reason. Just not nominated

Wow - just looked at the nominees for this category and cannot see what they've got that TSS doesn't (and I love RAM).

Well, Macca got another Grammy for Kisses On The Bottom so I'm sure he's not bothered a losing out to TSS. These awards are so contrived, but of course TSS deserves the win by a country mile.

God bless you Brian you absolutely deserved this, some of the other McCartney fans on his official forum are annoyed that SMiLE won the award, and I have to just say as one of the biggest McCartney fans out there...f*** RAM! Brian, Alan, Mark and the boys totally deserved this award way more than McCartney with his 50 million awards already!

Seriously. I like Ram, but Ram versus Smile?? Come on. So happy the best album won. I'm glad Brian got yet another piece of vindication.

[Lonelysea30]

What were the nominees? Just curious

[Wild-Honey]

That is fantastic news, and well deserved

The nominees are listed on this page.

Here's the Grammy page with the official notification for this category. I think I'll take a screen shot of this:

Thanks Rob. Alan is so classy; I loved to hear him say the BB's names.

I started being a hardcore BB fan in 2011, and with all the amazing stuff that's happened since then, I can't help but think what a lucky son of a gun I am.

I'm so proud of and happy for Brian and the guys. This is perfect. Congrats!!!

[SamMcK]

I'm so pleased that Brian is alive to get this award. But at the same time I wish Carl and Dennis were here to see it, they would be so proud of their brother. 

[Emdeeh]

I think there are a couple of beloved brothers "Smiling" from Heaven tonight.

[LetHimRun]

Finally, vindication for one of music's best groups of all time--and especially Brian. Thank you so much to Alan Boyd, Mark Linett & Dennis Wolfe for helping put the whole thing together also. So proud to be a Beach Boys fan!!!

Yes, McCartney's Ass Kissers album won a Grammy, so I'm sure he's fine with RAM not getting one. 

The Beach Boys won a Grammy for an album they didn't even finish!  Cool!

[Ron]

Nope.

Bummer.
I'd love to have seen his reaction.  

when he won best rock instrumental they took pictures... his quote was something like "I won a grammy! can you believe it? A grammy!"  He was thrilled.  Real big cheezy smile in all the pictures, too... he kind of looked like he didn't really know where to go (they hustle you through all these photo ops) and there were a few cool pictures of him holding the grammy up to his head.  

[The Shift]

Very wonderful to read this news. We all believe it's well-deserved but what stunning vindication. Many many congrats to all concerned. Guess what's in the player today!

[KittyKat]

Brian looks and sounds rather frail in that interview. He might be getting over the flu, though.

[Alan Smith]

     

[Gertie J.]

I feel so proud, even though I had to nothing to with it, except to buy it and listen. Congrats to Brian and Van Dyke for writing it. To The Beach Boys for singing their hearts out on it. To Alan, Mark and Dennis for the super job of putting it all together. The guys are finally getting some hard-earned recognition over the past year or two.

how 'bout wrecking crew? otherwise, super news!!!!!!!!!
