Beach Boys win it for me.


I prefer "America's Band featuring Mike Love of The Beach Boys" or "Endless Summer Beach Band".


Or my personal favorite ""A Tribute To The Beach Boys Featuring Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, David Marks, Glen Campbell, Dean Torrance, and John Stamos".

I heard all of those names are MAJOR ticket draws. As is a concert listed as "Mike Love". That would bring it tons of people.

I'd pay to see Beachy Carl's Pendletons.

The Beach Boys.

The name is brilliant...conjures up images of surf, sun, and guys singing beautiful harmonies. It kinda says: We're the kings of surf music. I do sometimes wonder how different their success would've been had they stuck with the name "The Pendletons"

"The Pendletons" is a far less stereotypical name for surf music - thus maybe their more artistic ventures would have been taken more seriously in later years?

Is it the Pendletons or the Pendletones? I've seen both in books and on the web and I'm clueless as to which is correct.

Beach Boys is the perfect name. It's right up there with the great band names like Van Halen, Einsturzende Neubauten, Black Sabbath and Dead Kennedys. If your band is great enough, it will transcend the possible dumbness of the name and elevate that name into greatness, The Beach Boys being a prime example.

'The Beach Boys' is a terrible name, and it really damaged the group's reputation from 1965 onwards. ('The Pendletons' and 'Carl and the Passions' would have been even worse -- too redolent of 50's doo wop.)

I mean,  most of the names of bands formed in the early 60's came to sound a bit dated later in the decade -- Gerry and the Pacemakers, Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Four Seasons, even the Beatles. But the name, 'the Beach Boys', unlike most of those other names, seems too tied down to a particular fad : surfing.

The Beatles were allowed to go from "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" to "Tomorrow Never Knows" without people holding the naivete of those earlier songs against them, in a way that the Beach Boys weren't. 'Surfin' USA' and 'Little Deuce Coup' always loomed too large in the mind of the public, even while they were producing 'Heroes and Villains' -- and for that, I blame the band's name.

Would the Boys have better withstood the battering that their reputation and image underwent in the late 60's, if the group name were 'the Kingsmen',  or 'the Ventures', for instance?

Well, that is because Surfin' USA and Little Deuce Coupe are better songs than Heroes and Villains.

The Beach.

I think this would have been perfect, or as perfect as possible while providing continuity.  I love the so-called fun-in-the-sun stuff, but I agree that their name (and Mike Love) was limiting and cost them some credibility, as foolish as that may be.
