Surfin' The Beach Boys by 
Mother Nature's Son 
I find The Beach Boys to be one of the most fascinating bands ever, at least the story behind them. The light-hearted spirit of their sunshine hits and later on their adult-oriented music clashing with Brian Wilson's mental illness and the members' various drug abuses.
Add to this that I love their music, not only for their early hits, "Pet Sounds", the "Smile" album and their trademark vocal harmonies, but for pretty much anything they've done. They're truly a band that make me SMiLE!

Wow! Where did this come from? Dennis Wilson, the drummer kept relatively in the background, suddenly came up with the greatest Beach Boys solo album. Highly orchestrated and walls of sound backed with strongly emotional power, it's an album to blow your mind. "Thoughts of You" is one of the most haunting beautiful experiences I've ever had. So sad to think about his tragic death and the follow-up that he never finished.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I have yet to indulge myself in the transcendental experience that is Mike Love's "Looking Back with Love". Save the best for last, right?

Interesting chart. You obviously know your Beach boys. I'm a fan too, but not to the extent you are and your comments on each album are excellent. I don't agree with all of it but everyone has their own opinions. By the way, where's Mike Love's classic, Looking back with love? (Yes, I'm joking). Keep the summer alive!
