Brian Wilson Instagram – 60 years ago today, The Beach Boys released their sixth album, All Summer Long. Regarded as one of the first true concept albums, the songs relate to the experiences of a typical Southern Californian teenager. Produced and largely written by Brian, the album featured his most complex arrangements to date. The album reached number 4 in the U.S. and “I Get Around” became the band’s first number-one hit. Brian later cited the album as a “turning point” for the band, and his first LP that could compete against Phil Spector and the Beatles. The majority of the instrumentation was provided by the band members themselves, with studio musicians on select tracks. Classics included “I Get Around,” “All Summer Long,” “Hushabye,” “Little Honda,” “Wendy,” “Girls on the Beach” and “Don’t Back Down,” among others. What’s your favorite?
