Pet Sounds was one of the top 5 albums ever made. It moved The Beatles to make Sgt. Peppers album out of competition of creativity. It was considered groundbreaking at the time. The Beach Boys were considered, at the time, to be a "boy band" singing about surfing, girls, and cars. The mastermind behind it it all was a troubled musical genius, Brian Wilson. They had massive success, but Wilson had had enough. "Non of you MFers have ever surfed a day in your life!. I'm making a real album.".

Here's a small doc about Wilson's brilliant mind in making "Wouldn't be Nice". Other than vocals, you will not recognize a single Beach Boys member. All studio musicians. The Beach Boys were the very definition of a boy band.
