 | Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Buy used from: $1.36 The most influential American album ever! An absolute classic that deserves shelf space on every album rack in the world. Out does the Beatles at their own game and open the flood gates to psychedilia!
|
 | Sunflower/Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.65 My personal favorite Beach Boys! Their first album for Warner was a classic in every since of the word. More mature themes and songwriting from everyone! Plus "Cool, Cool, Water" is one of Brian's greatest tracks! The collection also has the equally amazing "Surfs Up album, which in itself holds two of Brian's classics "Til I Die" and "Surfs Up"

 | Today/ Summer Days (and Summer Nights) by The Beach Boys
Buy new: $11.94 / Used from: $5.65 "Today!" is the beginnings of Pet Sounds. The B side of this album is the single best in Beach Boys history. "Summer Days" features "California Girls" and some other great tracks but for the most part is business as usual.
|
 | Friends/20/20 by The Beach Boys
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.67 These two late sixties records carry a very relaxed vibe. They weren't popular anymore and they desided to just float along on a sea of good times. Witness Carl become the voice of the band.
|
 | 15 Big Ones/Love You by The Beach Boys
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.99 "15 Big Ones" was an awful album of fifties covers with Brian returning to the fold. But "Love You" is the craziest, wierdest album you've ever heard, and a classic! Brian comes back with a bang, all gruff vocals and synthesizers. You can just hear the pain in Brian's voice.
|
 | Smiley Smile/Wild Honey by The Beach Boys
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.97 The stand in for "Smile" was an ok album that featured the inimitable "Good Vibrations" and "Wild Honey" was a great psuedo soul album that sustains a very mid sixties vibe!
|
 | Carl & The Passions - So Tough / Holland by The Beach Boys
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $8.74 On these two great early seventies albums the Boys are joined by Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Faatar. "So Tough" is the emergence of Dennis as the best songwriter in the group while "Holland" has the GREAT "Sail On Sailor".
|
 | Endless Harmony by The Beach Boys
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $4.11 This film was great, but the soundtrack is GREAT. Great outtakes and rarities. A must!
|
 | Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Buy used from: $71.96 This is the greatest solo album by any Beach Boy. Pacific Ocean Blue is a moody masterpiece by the most overlooked Beach Boy.
|
 | SMiLE by Brian Wilson
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.49 Brian releases his masterpeice reimagined. It is a five star classic and if the original sessions never see the light of day, then this will be good enough. Also get "That Lucky Old Sun" Brian's newest, it's better!
