The Beach Boys penned brilliant tunes based on surfboards, woodies, hot-rods, and the beach itself. Yet Brian Wilson's true gift was turning melancholy into heart-wrenching pop, and the group's most affecting moments favored love, heartbreak, desire, and loneliness. The songs here sting, from the band's teen-love sides to a Pet Sounds tearjerker and an absolute stunner by a troubled Dennis Wilson.
