The Beach Boys are one of the most important groups in the history of rock and roll. The Wilson brothers, Brian, Dennis, and Carl, grew up listening to vocal groups. Brian had a particular talent and taught his brothers how to sing background harmonies. Wilson's musical style began to shift as he listened to Johnny Otis and rhythm and blues. Soon Brian Wilson had composed "Surfin'". The musical talent extended beyond his immediate family, as he once performed with cousin Mike Love and won a talent competition in high school. The Love brothers, cousin Love, and Al Jardine became the original lineup for the Beach Boys. This edition only lasted from 1961 to 1962, but they struck gold with the single ""Surfin'".

The first change of many to come began with the substitution of Jardine for David Marks. Now Mike Love served as lead singer, Carl Wilson served as lead guitarist, David Marks as rhythm guitarist, Dennis Wilson as drummer, and Brian Wilson as the bassist and keyboardist. The Beach Boys began a string of gold hits with Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl, and Little Deuce Coupe, the group's first platinum album. The Beach Boy's Magnus opus came in 1966. Pet Sounds featured songs like "Barbara Ann" and "Good Vibrations".

Brian Wilson began to struggle with mental illness in the late 1960s. Mental Illness and drugs resulted in major weight fluctuations and remained a creative force, adding support in the studio from 1964 to 1973. He rejoined the Beach Boys until 1985 when he began to pursue a solo career. Though he moved away from the group, he would keep in contact and touch until 1995. The Beach Boys enjoyed one hit song without Brian, "Kokomo". OnlineSeats has the Beach Boys tickets to enjoy the new tour schedule.
