The Beach Boys discography
Encyclopedia
The Beach Boys
are an American rock
band
that were formed in Hawthorne, California
in 1961. Initially rising to become the most popular surf rock
band in the U.S. during the early 1960s, the band's mastermind and chief songwriter
, Brian Wilson
, took The Beach Boys' music to ever increasing levels of sophistication and artistry between 1964 and 1966. This resulted in the band becoming one of most popular international acts of the decade and arguably the only American group to effectively challenge the success of The Beatles
in terms of mainstream appeal and critical recognition. Following a nervous breakdown, Brian retreated from the spotlight and relinquished his role as musical leader, leaving the other band members to continue on through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s with Brian as an inconsistent participant. In the 21st century, The Beach Boys continue as a touring band under the stewardship of original member, Mike Love
