Great run given his drug and mental problems though

Best summer music ever from their catalogue of fabulous songs

RIP. Time for an airing of Pet Sounds

RIP

 

[Lady Whistledown]

One of those rare artists of that era whose music I know in some depth, thanks to my Dad who's been a massive fan ever since they first arrived on the scene.

What an icon, and what a musical catalogue.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

RIP

Massive impact on music.

Genius as per @Harry Wilson's tackle comment

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Genuine legend. RIP.

 

[Stato]

Thanks Brian. A complicated life with a lot of struggles, but the music you leave behind makes the world a more beautiful place.

 

[Wozza]

Sad, sad news.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

My condolences especially to our @Surf's Up. Chin up, mate. A great innings. I hope you got to see him. I did at Wembley 75, but he was unwell then. The renaissance in later life, and the joy he must have had finally recording Smile, and having all that adulation......I hope he got something from it.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

I had the privilege of seeing him a few years back at an odd little festival in Preston Park. Quite a coup for the organisers back then. He was old, infirm, couldn't hit the high notes, but I was nonetheless totally star struck. A legend indeed.

 

[Insel affe]

R.I.P
Classic

 

[Jam The Man]

Absolutely gutted.

What a genius.

Can’t find the words, so I’m off to listen to Pet Sounds on vinyl.

Gutted, fantastic songwriter, battled many demon's will be sadly missed.."God only knows" has to be one of the greatest songs ever written. RIP Brian...

I know every lyric to every Beach Boy song, because my brother played them on repeat while he was waxing his surfboard, when I was a child. My brother passed away a few years ago due to a brain tumour so I always feel a bit sad when I hear them now, he loved them. RIP Brian.

Yep, I was at that one and even the rain couldn't dampen that Beach Boy vibe. I think Brian Wilson did far better than I expected and I too felt I was in the presence of a true legend.
RIP indeed.

 

[Beach Hut]

Really sad, RIP

A superb music artist
