One picture of each year of the beach boy

[The_Beach]

Does anyone have a picture of all the members of the beach Boys of each year they were in the group so from 1960 to present or until death to see how each memeber changed over the years? That would be so neat to see side by side and how the fad changed over the years along with their music.

also hat memeber do you think has made the most changes throught their career?

Good idea!

Most changes - probably Brian. If you put 15 Big Ones and BW88 next to each other it's kind of amazing it's the very same person in these two photographs of Brian, even if you try to not consider stuff like the vastly different hairstyles.
Dennis went through a lot of changes as well but up to a certain point it wasn't all that drastic, just changes in style/appearance like having his long hair cut short every once in a while. When he shaved off his beard in the early 80s he did look like a somewhat different person, though.

Least changes - probably Alan.

Rolling Stone pretty much has this:

and the official site, though they are a little out of sequence:

I once attempted something along that line for Brian: http://www.last.fm/de/user/Lowbacca/journal/2008/09/02/2595ei_brian_wilson_with_the_years

A lot of the image links are broken, and I'm still missing a couple of years including 2015. I'll get to it soon.


I'd love to see something similar done with DW, CA and the rest of the Pendletones.

The problem in the past with this is that there are a lot of inaccurately dated photos floating on the net-like 1976 Brian photos dated 1972 or 1970 photos of Dennis dated 1977 etc

Yup. I spent years discussing those dates with people.. Being generally interested in that sort of thing, indexing my collection and of course doing that last.fm blog article. Still not sure about 2 or 3 of these pictures, but they've been all argued over by and with other fanatics.

It's high time I fixed those links and added images..

Mike had a lot of image changes from 65 to 75. His look in '69 with the large white cloak was my least favorite, like some ex-communicated monk who stumbled upon the stage by accident.
