I'm so jealous of anyone who gets to go to Coachella this year. They have such a good lineup but I'm all the way in New Jersey.
I think In Rainbows is my favorite. It was the first album of theirs I'd heard, I think it's just perfect from start to end. As for favorite song, I would probably say Pyramid Song.

They are one of my many other music obsessions besides The Beach Boys. They haven't made one weak album since the mid 90s, it's pretty incredible that they've remained so prominent in the music world for so long. Plus they've stayed together! From the start, they've been the same band, no member has ever left or quit. They're starting a tour soon, I'm really hoping I'll get to see them, I never have before.

Some of the comments at the bottom are disturbing. You call a bunch of songs about surfing that all sound the same as "genius"? This guy is one step removed from a commercial jingle writer. Sorry, but the Beach Boys (which I am a fan), are nothing more than an overrated beach band. They stuck with a genre that died out in less than a decade. Sure, they made some good tunes, but it was not "revolutionary. He was trying to compete with the Beatles, it is obvious through his own words - Pet Sounds was him trying to compete with Rubber Soul. And he had a mental breakdown when he heard Sgt. Pepper's...
Seriously... this guy still holds on to the idea that he didn't copy "Sweet Little Sixteen" when he wrote "Surfin USA". Come on!
He had a way with harmonies, but other than that... there was nothing great about it.

It doesn't make any less sense than having half-assed covers of Rock and Roll Music and Come Go With Me rather than Caroline, No or Sail On Sailor. Honestly, I don't take that collection very seriously, some of the song choices are baffling and the track order is too all over the place in my opinion. Classics Selected by Brian Wilson is a superior compilation in my opinion even if it's less comprehensive.

I'd rather see Stamos than Jeffrey Foskett.
Really? I love Jeff Foskett. I think it's amazing how he can hit those high notes despite his age. Stamos on the other hand... well, I mean, I liked him on ER but I really don't want to see him as a Beach Boy.
