Bruce was a founding member of Mike Love's "endless summer Maharishi beach band"

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

In my opinion that's where his genius truly blossomed into the beautiful, 4 winged flower we have today.

As being given founding member status apparently doesn't have to involve the person in question actually being in the band at the time it was formed, I'd say f*** it, Bruce is a 100%, bona fide, dyed in the wool founding member.

Well its good to hear that Bruce + David were finally given hall of fame status. When i went to hall in 1995 this was not the case. Altho Bruce had donated a surfboard to their exhibit that was autographed when i went there . It was also neat to see original bussiness cards and a original contract for a gig for: Carl and the passions..!!!!!!

David Marks was not part of the line-up during the Morgan sessions, which produced the Beach Boys' first hit single. Yet many people insist that yes, he was a founding member.

Bruce Johnston also was not part of the line-up during the Morgan sessions, which produced the Beach Boys' first hit single.

Therefore, Bruce Johnston is a founding member.

I will argue that the Beach Boys were not the Beach Boys at the Hite Morgan sessions. David recorded with them the first time they walked into a studio and the band name was official.

Not actually true. The Jardine era line-up recorded at Pacific World Studio as "The Beach Boys" shortly before he left. NEXT!

Only if you were shorts at least 70% of the time and dye your hair a sickly orange brown.

I need to ask; why are we being so anal about this? Two threads going and all we are doing is spinning our wheels and going in circles. I don't get it?

not a founder of the original band obviously, but his return in 1979 marked the birth of a insanely embarrasing period for the band from which their image never truly recovered. Much had been undone by 15BO, LY and certainly MIU. LA was chance to get back to the good pre-15BO days, but most of the material was older so I guess their time a decent songwriters was coming to close regardless of Bruce. But he sure let everyone know the end of the road had been reached.
