The Beach Boys already had about four or five albums under our belt when these newcomers, The Beatles, took the U.S. by storm in early 1964.

The original Beach Boys are Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, Mike Love, and Alan Jardine.

Sometimes I listen to '60s or oldies stations to see if they're going to play a Beach Boys song.

I'm the lead singer of the Beach Boys and an ambassador of this amazing music that touched a generation.

By 1968, both The Beatles and The Beach Boys had plenty of fame - we were looking for something deeper. The Maharishi taught us how to go beyond thinking and action in order to grow from within.

I think between The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and innumerable acts after that... rock music became a huge economic force.
