Here is a Mystery ...

[Phoenix]

Dennis looked like Audree and his brothers looked like Murry. 

Mystery solved.

[Amy B.]

Dennis looked like Audree and his brothers looked like Murry. 

Woah, I knew Brian looked like Murry, but the resemblance is crazy in that photo.

[lance]

what's with RangeRover constantly posting in old threads?

some sort of wicked plot I guess. I love it when people talk about other people on the Internet as if they are talking behind the other person's back when really the other person can read it. a clever rhetorical technique.

Youch. Never found Brian or Carl to be unattractive sans Brian's "300-some pounds and hasn't shaved, bathed, or gotten out of bed in 9 month" period, but those photos don't so much as evoke disgust but "Gosh Darn, this is sad." Carl only got weird looking with the strange spikey mullet thing he started rockin' at some point in the 80s, but we can forgive him.

Also, I will again say that Bruce looks like a real life Glen Quagmire (Family Guy) to me. It makes me giggle.

I think Dennis was the best looking in the 60's early 70's. But in the early 80's there is a picture of Carl from the 'Carl Wilson' album cover sessions where he looks great!

Carl looked ridiculously good looking in '67 after he had lost a bit more weight. It's remarkable how quickly his sex appeal improved from '66 to '67. It seemed pretty sudden that Carl was no longer the chubby, dorky looking guy, but a thoroughly attractive male, capable of finding the inner homosexual in even the straightest men. Just look at his smouldering eyes!!!



To be honest, as a collective whole, I don't think the band looked better than they did in '67.

I love their style in the ate sixties too, after the dork phase and before the dirty stinking hippy phase. Such cool clothes.

I see this picture and I'm like, "Holy merda, that's Carl?"

No stars from the 60's - 70's looked cool in the 1980's.

Can I get a Jeff Foskett?!

Large and in charge version.

[Gertie J.]

Randomly found this incredibly hilarious thread! I loled at many posts!

On serious note tho, I think everyone in the band is pretty good-looking. They're people and like people they have their own periods of cuteness, average look and ugliness. For instance, old Bruce is better looking than young. The same about Al, i never ever thought that he's utterly handsome in his twenties. But now he achieved charm on his face. Pure gentleman. Dennis was good in 70s, in my opinion while big brother Brian in 80s. Carl's best era is mid-eighties, superslimmest of all his eras, I'd say. Now Mike... One word - hippie.

Collectively during the SMiLE sessions, they all looked good and quite fashionable. Definitely their peak of cool.


Brian looks better with slightly messy hair rather than the mop top and a 5 o'clock shadow.

This is a great shot of Brian, he looks relaxed,  the most handsome I've seen of him actually...

There are a couple of photos I've seen online and in books of Murry in his early 20s. In those days he was rail thin and almost a dead ringer for '63 era Brian, right down to the slightly lopsided smile.

[send me a picture and i'll tell you]

Carl has such a soft mouth, and is probably a great cuddler.

Brian: such a bear.  He and Foskett should grow matching handlebar mustaches and wear Daryl Dragon hats.

Dennis and Ricky could be my pool boys.  Smells like hot chlorine in here!

I'd have to see Blondie in a fuzzy thong with a poofball tail, before I decide where I'd come down on that.

Darian's hair against my velvet thighs: priceless. 
 

Al: "Hey apple!"

Bruce makes my testes withdraw into my abdomen.

Mike makes Bruce's testes withdraw into your abdomen.

This is marvellous.  And the bonus homoeroticism provided by your signature takes it right up to the next level.

These guys are as baked as an overdone chocolate chip cookie.

And your reply number punts it into the stratosphere!

I'm ready to defend Foskett on a number of issues, within reason. But if he grew a handlebar or a Fu Manchu all bets would be off. Now Bruce's 'stache was all right in its day but dunno if it'd work now. As for the other four....they can grow beards the size of Zz Top's and that's fine with me.....the closer to 1972 era BBs wildness the better.

That thought just made me spil my phector...

[Magic Transistor Radio]

Forget Dennis, or any Wilson, Love, Jardine, Marks, Johnston or John Stamos. The most handsome man connected to the Beach Boys was Jack Reiley!

I wish I looked that good baked!

Look at Mike's eyes in that tent photo.  Something besides TM happening here.

As for Brian changing from the comb back he had at first to that combed down swept over look, that haircut was called a LONG Princeton.  Very popular and acceptable to parents and teachers as a conservative version of the British moptop that had come into fashion.  You might also remember the short Princeton which was basically a crew cut with bangs just in the front.

Brians first publicity pics with the Princeton haircut put him ahead of the fashion game in comparison to those who were still wearing some facsimilie of the Elvis look in 1964-65.
