Brian had a challenging life maintaining a grip on some reality. He sure wrote great songs about it. May he rest in peace and his spirit progress to the next dimension.
He struggled so much but was brilliant in so many ways. Thanks for the great music over the years.
Rest in Peace, Brian...

Often times a fine line between genius and madness. He had a rough go of it and drugs and booze didn’t help his illness but he sure was a great musical mind of our time. RIP BW
At least the poor guy isn't suffering anymore. The Beach Boys were Summer for a lot of us in our lives. Thanks for the great music and memories

One of the sad side effects of aging is that the icons of our youth start to vanish.

I grew up on much of the Beach Boys music. And yes,, Brian was the genius behind many of the songs & arrangements. We've truly lost a great one. Yet,, we can easily reflect back,, listen to the songs, and know it'll be timeless & he won't be forgotten.
Yes,, he may have had his demons, but so many people do. Successful & not do successful.
So I'll choose to remember the great stuff he did,, feel compassion for his issues,, and sing & dance to the music!
RIP Brian,, and "Thanks for the memories!"

Memories and music of my youth. Many of the ones who gained distinction in the music and theater world have left us recently. The Beach Boys were one of my favorites long long ago. RIP Brian Wilson.
The Beach Boys were a favorite in my youth. Their music is timeless, sadly, we are not…
Rest in peace, thank you for your music.

Brian and The Beach Boys put out a lot of great music but 409, Little Duce Coupe, and I Get Around were some of my favorites, Thanks and RIP Brian
Grew up with his music. Makes me feel old. Glad I'm till here.

Ah yes,, so many songs.
409
I have a friend who used to own a 1963 Impala with a factory, 425 HP, dual carb, posi-track 409. We used to make monkey's out of camero's & trans-ams with it.
He once torqued the drive shaft in half. Didn't break the U-joints,, but twisted the shaft in half.
Everytime I hear or think of the Beach Boys 409,, that car comes to mind.
Last night, Miss Penny & I were talking about the Beach Boys & their music. I said that between the beach songs & the car songs,, they identified with a whole generation with fun music and sounds of summer.
Brian was a genius with music for sure.

I was a kid and liked them because they were popular and everybody listened to them. Then came Hendrix and "You'll never hear surf music again" and I followed the crowed into psychedelic music.
I started listening to the Beach Boys golden oldies when I became an adult and was duly impressed with how talented and good they really were. It's great music.
Paul McCartney said "God Only Knows" was the greatest song ever written. That's some high praise.

I played "Pet Sounds" after hearing the news yesterday morning. The genius of Brian Wilson shown bright and shook up the music industry. Much of the album was produced with studio musicians called the Wrecking Crew. The documentary "Wrecking Crew" includes footage of Brian Wilson and the making of "Pet Sounds". RIP

When you think about it, what are the chances of four guys getting together to produce that sound that they had? Or how about the Beatles?
One of the great sounds that I just discovered by accident is the "Dead South".
