The Beach Boys rank high among my favorite bands. Brian was hugely instrumental (pardon the pun) in creating their music and "sound".
I was in high school in the 1970's so that is when I listened - even to their old stuff. I grew in eastern Broward County (Fort Lauderdale area) so going to the beach or driving down by the beach was a thing. Seeing the beach still makes me happy.

Their songs made me happy. Brian was such a genius. Way ahead of his time. I'm sad he had such a tyrant for a father and the Landy guy (psychiatrist) who fooled everyone also was awful for Brian.

Thank God he met Melinda and they had 28 years married. When she passed away, I think he went downhill quickly.

Peace and love to his family!
(Also saw Love & Mercy back in 2015).
