As the FTP fansite notes, and in interviews, Mark Foster is a BIG Brian fan - and Smile fan too. So this will be a good match-up.
Listen to his "Helena Beat", he does the Brian falsetto "swoops" at the end, and could easily join Jeff on the high parts on IGA.
A third song his that has charted is "Don't Stop", which has been used in car commercials too. Will they be a one-album wonder? Maybe, but to have three tracks off your debut take off is no small feat.
And you Brits can't claim ignorance. When we were visting London earlier this past summer I first heard "Pumped Up Kicks" in the store, and promptly predicted to my daughter she'd hear it on the radio. She did, on Radio One, the next day. And of course lots more back in the USA.

Maybe they all will do Beach Boys songs. Something like: Foster the People I Get Around, Maroon 5 Don't Worry Baby and the Boys Do It Again or some surprise new song.
there we go. let's hope !

The good thing is that guy (Mark Foster) is the main writer and lead vocalist for the band.

I liked the singles from the first Maroon 5 album...even though they sounded like an MOR version of Jamiroquai.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I liked the first big single...thought it sounded sort of like Jamiroquai and/or third gen Stevie Wonder. Have never liked anything they've done since, nor the decision to try to make the singer into some sort of sex symbol.
As for pairing them with the BBs reunion, what can I say that hasn't already been said. I'm so disappointed.

I'd like for everybody to explain exactly what year they all stopped liking Maroon 5. You know you all loved them when nobody had heard of them, like Foster The People, but once they moved into, oh, legend status (they're basically looked at like their legends already, because every album sells huge), everybody stopped liking them.
I thought Maroon 5 was some type of cookie with coconuts?

Actually, the gallery said a medley of their songs. It did specify SG and Good Vibes, but it didn't say they would be the only songs in the performances. I would expect at least one or two more in there.

Yeah I'm expecting three - "Good Vibrations" should be awesome, with all those voices available to cover the different parts. And love him or hate him, but Adam Levine can probably do a killer "Surfer Girl" lead.

no probs Zach. Certianly not stealing my thunder. Im just happy to share with the board whatever info i may find. Speaking of which:
The Beach Boys, flanked by Foster the People and Maroon 5's Adam Levine, are pouring on the harmonies in a rousing run-through of Good Vibrations. After years strained by acrimony and lawsuits, the iconic surf-pop band is having fun, fun, fun.
Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, David Marks and Bruce Johnston are at a CenterStaging studio rehearsing for a pivotal performance, their first with Wilson in more than two decades.
The medley, which includes Beach Boys covers Wouldn't It Be Nice by Foster and Surfer Girl by Maroon 5, is shaping up to be a peak moment at Sunday's Grammy Awards (CBS, 8 p.m. ET/tape delay PT) and a high-profile launch of the band's 50th-anniversary docket.
Wilson, 69, confesses to Grammy butterflies but adds, "It's a happy feeling. We all sound good. The songs are as fresh as the day they were made."
The Beach Boys never won a Grammy (Vibrations lost to the Mamas and the Papas' Monday, Monday, among others, in 1966), nor have they played on the telecast.
No hard feelings, says Love, 70. "It's great that we're regarded highly enough by the powers that be at the Grammys that they want us on the show," he says, relating how a recent re-recording of Do It Again at Capitol Records set the reunion in motion. "Brian told me, 'You sound pretty good for a 70-year-old guy.' It's what we've done all our lives. It's a fantastic milestone, 50 years. The beauty of it is that the songs Brian and I created will outlive us."
The reconciliation "was inevitable, in spite of rumors to the contrary," says Jardine, 69. "There's a tendency for bands to fall apart, but if we can get back together and do it again, anybody can, even in this economy. People need hope and a way out of all this despair. We can bring good vibrations to everybody."
Expect no shortage of drama, entertainment, pop royalty or signature "Grammy moments" of unusual combos during the 3½-hour musical marathon.
The Beach Boys' return is among the biggest attractions in a revue of roughly 22 songs in 18 production numbers that spotlight Adele, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Foo Fighters, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Coldplay
and Glen Campbell

Not trying to start a Mike bashing, but why in the world has he to mention this in every interview he gives ? At first it was "Not bad for a 70 year old" then "How can a 70 year old sound so good" then something else and then above quote. It's not that important to know, is it ?

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

"Good Vibrations" didn't lose a Grammy to "Monday, Monday" in '66; it lost to "Winchester Cathedral" by the New Vaudeville Band (astonishingly, the other losers were "Monday, Monday", "Eleanor Rigby" and "The Sound of Silence").

Winchester cathedral is a terrible novelty song.

Winchester cathedral is a terrible novelty song.
I think the Grammy voting panel heard a manipulated voice made to sound like a 20's recording and associated that with technical innovation and something "new". When in reality, "Good Vibrations" was actually that kind of record that freaked everyone out, rewriting the rules of making a 45rpm, and a case could be made that Eleanor Rigby changed the way string quartets and strings in general would sound on a pop record by the way Emerick close-mic'ed and recorded them.
I always pictured some tripped-out Broadway spectacle where folks like Carol Channing and Ethel Merman would join Fred Astaire for some kind of top hat and cane performance on Hollywood Palace, doing "Winchester Cathedral" to appeal to "the kids" watching the show. With the June Taylor Dancers, of course.
