The Beach Boys - Wouldn’t It Be Nice
—-
Too clichĂ©? Maybe. But I don’t care.
Oh man, Beach Boys. I used to *love* them as a kid, and completely forgot about the group between the ages of 4 and about 17 or 18. For serious. That’s 14-ish years of not listening to one of the more underrated-yet-still-famous bands of pop history.
I went to the beach today with family. Is it any wonder why this jumped out at me from my summer jams section?
When I was first in Chicago, I picked up an amazing LP for a dollar or two at a tent at the Pitchfork Music Festival. It was this hilarious German release of the Beach Boys 40 Greatest Hits. I play it more than any other record I own.
