The Beach Boys were one of the biggest bands in music history. They are among the 15 biggest selling artists selling more than 200 million records world wide. They were also one of 3 American acts that were not affected at all by The British Invasion (the other 2 were Elvis Presley and The Four Seasons). Their biggest hit is probably "Good Vibrations." My 2 personal favorite songs are "Surfer Girl" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice."

"God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. You have to do it.

The Beach Boys were huge. Commonly recognized as the Beatles American counterpart in terms of chart toppers and their general musical impact!

"Sloop John B" is my favorite because I think it shows off their harmonies the best. Pet Sounds is a great album.

Their "Help Me Rhonda", "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and "Fun Fun Fun" are next for you!!! The Beach Boys are one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful bands of all time, selling over 100 million records worldwide.

“God Only Knows” is one of their most popular songs (aside from Good Vibrations which you already did) and a Beach Boys must. It’s such a great love song ❤️

The Beach Boys were big in the 60s. Barbra Ann was from 1965. Other good songs include "California Girls", "Help Me Rhonda", and "I Get Around". Many more. Love you guys.

This was a jam session with another 60’s duo, Jan and Dean.

Surfin' Safari was their first hit. They also had hits with "Fun, Fun, Fun," "California Girls," "Surfer Girl," "Little Deuce Couple," "In My Room," "Good Vibrations" (which might be the most famous), "God Only Knows" (which is beautiful), "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and so many more that you should listen to. And 'California Girls,' too.

"God only knows what I'd be without you". Absolutely epic beach boys tune. Also " don't worry baby" or "Good Vibrations". Many many more. Yes they were the Beatles main American competition.

This was a cover song. The original by The Regents was a hit that went to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1961. The Beach Boys version went to number 2 in 1965. The Beach Boys were huge in the 60's. They held their own after the British Invasion with the Beatles coming on the scene in 1964. Their major hits were "Fun, Fun, Fun" "Surfin' Safari", "Surfin USA", "Surfer Girl", "Little Deuce Coupe", "California Girls", "I Get Around", "In My Room", "Help Me Rhonda", "Good Vibrations", "Sloop John B", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "God Only Knows", "Good Timing", "Kokomo", among others. They sold over 100 million records. All of their songs were famous, they had 4 number 1 hits, "I Get Around", "Good Vibrations", "Help Me Rhonda", and "Kokomo". I would say that "Good Vibrations" was their biggest and most famous song.

I went to a Joe Walsh concert in the early 70s, the Beach Boys were touring with him and played first. Never was that huge a BB fan but after I saw them, the amount of respect and appreciation I have for them as entertainers is 100 fold. They rocked Texas Stadium and vamped up the whole crowd that covered the football field as well as every seat in the house. Dennis Wilson started the set in a 3 piece suit but because he was working so hard, the hotter he got the more he took off. By the time their set was over, he was wearing Bermuda shorts and a wife beater! And the audience including myself were loving it! Truly the best show I ever saw and I've seen some great ones.

"In my room", "Surfer girl", "Catch a wave", "Fun, fun, fun", "Wouldn't it be so nice" are just some of my favorites!

Beach Boys has 13 top 10 hits in the 60’s alone, plus success in the 70’s and 80’s. Their first #1 was “I Get Around” in ‘65, and their last #1 was in ‘88 with “Kokomo”

I love the song "In My Room" by the Beach Boys They had such great harmony. The drummer Dennis Wilson was really the one who loved the beach and surfed. But unfortunately he drowned in the mid eighths. He also knew Charles Manson. You can't go wrong with any beach boy songs.

You guys always bring a smile to this old man's face (71 years young) !!! I grew up in the late 50s and the 60s and the Beach Boys were the sound track of my life !!! Thanks for your videos !!

Good vibrations. Most famous song by the Beach boys.

The Beach Boys were 3 brothers, a cousin, and childhood friend. Singing together since they were young.

I've tried a few times to identify the most universally appealing music acts/songs. What does everybody like no matter what their favorite might be. I always come back to The Beach Boys. This song in particular. I don't care what your go-to music is. How can anyone not enjoy this?

Honestly, Rob, you pull off the hippie look really well. 👏 Question: you seem to enjoy a lot (most?) of the music you react to, but how much of it makes it's way into your personal playlists?

Just to let ya guys know, the Beach Boys were HUGE! 60's, 70's, & 80's...there were few people who didn't know them! I've been to roughly 20 of their concerts over the years when they were active, and even back to before Dennis Wilson died. I have never seen a concert experience quite like it. Teens to seniors, and every age in between enjoying and loving the music and vibes!

They were actually at a party, and this was recorded off the cuff. It wasn't planned, but when they played it the next day, it sounded so good and authentic, they put in on their next album. They really were just relaxing with friends, having a few drinks, and it just happened. Pretty cool. Love The Beach Boys.

SURF MUSIC was huge in the 60's, it was more than just the Beach Boys, although they were the best at it. As a kid my brother, sister and I wore this 45 out. I got to see them around 2005 or so, they still put on a great show. I see below that the Rob Squad Family has suggested several great songs by them but I'm still going to suggest "Good Vibrations", love this song. 😀

The Beach Boys recorded this while hanging out with friends, which is why there are limited instruments, you hear people chatting in the background, and The Beach Boys start laughing when the mess up the lyrics in one part. I would have LOVED to be at this party! It must have been a blast!

The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" album is considered a masterpiece and along with Sgt. Peppers by the Beatles is ranked to be the most influential album in rock history. Wouldn't It Be Nice, Sloop John Band and God Only Knows are the 3 biggest hits from that album. I'd also recommend Help Me Rhonda, Don't Worry Baby, Do it Again and Little Surfer Girl.

Their music was so popular that you didn't need to be on a beach to enjoy it. A campfire in the woods, a few brews and the Beach Boys' music would get every on their feet. Loved your reaction, guys. Have fun with your kiddles tonight. Take care and be well. Peace. ☮️

The Beach Boys were huge. They were masters of this breezy, bouncy summer sound. I think that Good Vibrations, which I believe you've already done, is their masterpiece. They went to a new level with their 1966 album, Pet Sounds. God Only Knows would be a great reaction song. It's easy to underestimate the complexity of the Beach Boys sound, maybe because it feels so easy and fun. The tight harmonies are tricky and required a lot of corrdination. Brian Wilson was the brains behind the operation. He's a musical genius.

Good vibrations was probably their biggest single but so so many more. They had a few beautiful songs like God Only Knows, In My Room and Wouldn't It Be Nice. Their harmonies are unmatched in pop.

The Beach Boys had perfect harmony. Brian Wilson who wrote most of their songs knew what he was doing. They were 3 brothers, a cousin and a close family friend.

They were a band comparable to the Beatles in many ways. A few more of theirs to listen to; "California Girls", "Sloop John B", "Fun, Fun, Fun", "I Get Around", "Help Me, Rhonda", "Be True to Your School". That last one could easily be played at a school pep rally.

For a different Beach Boys sound try "Wouldn't it be Nice", " Good Vibrations" and "God Only Knows". They were probably the top group and then the Beatles came along and the rest of the British invasion. There was so much good music in the 60s, you haven't even scratched the surface!

How can you not smile when listening to the Beach Boys? I still love them . My dad was the one who got me into liking the Beach Boys when I was a kid. Barbara Ann, Surfing USA , Little Duece Coupe, California Girls, Help me Rhonda, ect are some of my favorites ❤ ♥ 💖

"Good Vibrations" is one of their best. Paul McCartney ,of the Beatles, said that is a song he wished he`d written and recorded.

The Beach Boys were the signature sound for California rock at the time. They had very much a Barbershop quartet kind of style.

The Beach Boys predated the Beatles by a year or two. Both were enormous influences on each other, each inspiring the other to unprecedented heights. "Good Vibrations" was so far beyond anything else on top 40 radio in its sophistication. Brian Wilson is an utter genius.

"In my room" is one my favorite slow songs by them the vocal harmony is spot on. It just takes you to that place

This is from their Party album, is basically just an album of the Beach Boys sitting around with some friends kinda goofing off. I recommend reacting to "God Only Knows" which showcases what happens when they put serious effort into their recording. The other named women are from other songs: "Peggy Sue" by Buddy Holly "Hello, Mary Lou" by Ricky Nelson "Betty Lue's Got A New Pair Of Shoes" by.... not sure who originally, but later by Eddie & The Cruisers 😉 The Beach Boys biggest hit was probably "Good Vibrations" which y'all have reacted to. Oh and the ending was cut off on the recording you reacted to, so.... you haven't heard the whole song yet.

A good on is from 1964 called "Don't Worry Baby" a great tune

I took my cat to the vet. He had not been well…was older with kidney problems. On the way home, with him in his carrier, I prayed for a song on the radio that would comfort him. No sooner than I did that, than a Beach Boys song, “In My Room” came on. I sure love that song too. Could that have been from God? I believe it was!!

Thank you, Rob Squad. You always put a smile on my face, but today it was over the top!

I was never a huge fan of the Beach Boys but when I saw them in concert in 1974, they absolutely rocked the house! They had every member of the audience, including skeptical me, in the palm of their hand. Good Vibrations is probably their most famous song but I also love Sloop John B, Fun Fun Fun and Little Surfer Girl.

The Beach Boys were "Number One" in the world until the Beatles hit the scene with the British Invasion. Through the 60s and 70s Brian Wilson, the creative genius of the Beach Boys, squared off against John Lennon and Paul McCartney trying to outdo each other album after album.

This was definitely soc-hop material. And they were HUGE, and HUGE some more!! This was one of their more comical hits…Don’t Worry Baby Is my favourite BeachBoy song..most famous? would probably change with each person asked. Saw them live a couple times, so enjoyed them each time!! You both look adorable! I dressed like that for real when I was young…big sigh!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

From their album "Beach Boys' Party!" which was a concept album as though they were casually playing cover songs at a party in their living room. All the songs are covers (including this one) except one Beach Boys medley. Dean Torrance is co-lead on this song. "Beach Boys' Party!" directly preceded their album "Pet Sounds".

Beach Boys ruled the airwaves in the sixties out here in California. Clean wholesome harmonies. Oh no the one-piece bathing suit was Grandma material at this point, this was bikini City!

Brian Wilson is a genius and their/his Pet Sounds album was musically groundbreaking - check out God Only Knows

In 1963, they had their first national hit with "Surfin' U.S.A.", beginning a string of top-ten singles that reflected a southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance, dubbed the "California sound".

This is a remake of a '61 song by The Regents. The "Beach Boys Party" album it was on was contrived to deliver a contracted album while Brian was working on their "Pet Sounds" masterpiece. They recorded it in studio (with The Wrecking Crew), and then added the party sounds and ad libs to the completed tracks.

Beach boys...... very big, very very popular 60’s, 70’s and 80’s ... lots of great songs! Sloop John B is probably one of my favorite songs by them.... great song that really highlights their voices and harmonies.

The Beach Boys and The Beatles were essentially in direct competition with each other. Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band was their response to Pet Sounds which is Brian Wilson’s masterpiece. The sixties was a great time to start listening to music! BTW, my mom, who just turned 89 last week, would have Bach and Scott Joplin on 8 track blaring all over the house while she was cleaning, lol. And I learned to enjoy their music too!

I collected all LPs and cassettes they ever put out and this song is from the Vinyl LP "Beach Boys Party". From about 1965. I saw the original group live at Notre Dame ,here, in Indiana back in 1973, where their roadie at the time (Jerry from Manchester ,England) came up into our seating area and we chatted for a while before the concert started. I also was in their warehouse studio out in California (Brother Records) back in 1975. Peace. (Check out Surf's Up LP/CD.) They were the biggest American band at the time the Beatles arrived in the mid '60s. They did world tours.

Love the exuberance in your reaction ... watching the two of you makes me happy. Thanks.

Beach Boys were HUGE in the 60's second only to the Beatles! This is such a fun party song...takes me back to good times!

Anything off the Pet Sounds album would be great to try out. One the greatest albums of all time!

The Beach Boys are celebrating their 50th anniversary with a major reunion tour in support of That's Why God Made the Radio, their 29th album and first of new material since 1992. The band has built up a staggering body of work over the past five decades, ranging from brilliant bubblegum singles about girls, cars and surfing to their melancholy masterwork, Pet Sounds.

The Beach Boys were “ Top of the charts” for a long time.

This was a cover of an earlier tune from the late '50s, early '60s by The Regents. Amber - you need a flower behind your ear to complete your costume. And Jodan, you need a joint in your hand or a bong > LOL!

I love how you hear Brian say “Hal and his famous ashtray” referring to drummer Hal Blaine, and the ending when Carl says “Thanks Dean” to Dean Torrance of Jan and Dean for his lead vocals on this track, which happens to be cut off of this particular video, but to me it’s one of the highlights of the song.

I'm 76, so I was there in my youth for the hippie era. You guys have it nailed perfectly with the hair and clothes. :)

Beach Boys were active for awhile. Next song y’all should listen to which they did in the 80s is “Kokomo” which has more of a tropical getaway vibe to it and a nice sax solo y’all will love. Check it out u won’t regret it ;)

❤️❤️❤️❤️ These songs weren’t the most famous but two of favorites for my teenage years “In My Room” and “Be True To Your School”. There’s not a bad Beach Boys song.

Love how Amber wears her heart on her sleeve. Beach Boys had hits in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Just a fun get up and dance band

They were No.1 before the Beatles arrived and tied the Beatles for a few years in popularity. I am 76..I was there and at concerts .Heh.

I was born in 64 but had older siblings and new all of the beachboys music growing up...the house listened to all kinds of music...grew up with all types and good range of music...there is room for everyone.

Brian Wilson was a music genius, that was way before his time.

The charm of this version is its informal, jam-session vibe, with its imperfections and occasional muffed lyrics. Groovy threads, by the way.

You can't go wrong with the best tracks by the Beach Boys - my favourites are "Little Deuce Coupe", "Fun Fun Fun" and "Surfin' USA". Quite a long time ago, their record company released 2-CD versions of pairs of their original albums with loads of bonus tracks and decent liner notes for a great price (£7.99 each in the UK) - I bought the lot!

I graduated from high school in 1965--they were the dance group of the time. They were definitely on the playlist at every school dance function. Homecoming-the Prom dances in the gym after a basketball game etc.

The Beach Boys had a ton of great songs. One you two should react to is "God Only Knows". In my opinion..."God Only Knows" is one of, if not the most, beautiful songs ever written.

I’m really digging y’all as hippies!! Amber is KILLING it!!!

The Beach Boys were MASSIVE. I love their Surfin' songs and all of their songs as they made me feel like I was at a California beach party with them and I'm in the U.K. xx

I believe the mention of Peggy Sue was the inspiration for the song of the same name by Buddy Holly and the Crickets. The most famous song of The Beach Boys is Good Vibrations.

Great cover song by the Beach Boys. Barbara Ann was a song written by Fred Fassert and was first recorded by the Regents. Their version was released in 1961 and reached reached number 13. Barbara Ann is Fred Fassert his little sister. My favorite Beach Boy song is Kokomo. Their last number 1 hit. Their first number 1 song was "I Get Around". It took the Beach Boys 24 years and 4 months to get their next number 1 song. A couple of other favorites include God Only Knows and Sloop John B.

The true brilliance of The Beach Boys is best displayed on the album, “Pet Sounds” as well as its follow up “SMiLE”. Pick any song from “Pet Sounds”. They’re all great. “SMiLE” is best listened to from beginning to end. It is a trippy journey through time across America….

They were the First Supergroup to come out of California. Brian's influences were Chuck Berry & The Four Freshman. Brian's Wizardry would later be a major influence on The Beatles (Most Notably Paul McCartney) who said "Pet Sounds Would Influence Sargent Pepper". Other Fans have been the Bee Gees, ABBA, and one of their biggest Fans David Lee Roth of Van Halen.

The Beach Boys were massive and are now one of the most iconic bands from that era. Paul McCartney's favorite album is Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.

Kokomo (from the movie Cocktail with Tom Cruse), Good Vibrations, I Get Around and Help Me, Rhonda were their biggest hits all reaching #1 Most of their hits were from the 60s with a few in the 70s but Kokomo was their last hit and that came in 1988. Jan & Dean were just like the Beach Boys as they both pioneered that California Surf music sound. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys actually co-wrote at least three of their hits with Jan Berry.

The Beach Boys were absolutely huge in the 60s and became even bigger after. They were basically The Beatles of The United States, and The Beatles and Beach Boys had a friendly rivalry back in the day. Paul McCartney believes that Brian Wilson wrote the most beautiful love song ever when he wrote God Only Knows. And The Beach Boys album "Pet Sounds" was a major influence on The Beatles album "Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band".

Off Wiki - The group had 36 songs reach the US Top 40 (the most by an American band), with four topping the Billboard Hot 100. In 2004, they were ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone's list of the greatest artists of all time. The founding members were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

The Beach boys were one of the biggest groups in the light 60s early 70s.... And anyone that was a fan then is still a fan of them❤

My favorite from them is Sloop John B. Try it!

Love this song! This song reminds me of my grandma, and how we'd sings this around her and drive her crazy! I did the same thing to my other grandma as well with the Oakridge Boys' " Elvira"! 😊

The Beach Boys, especially in the 1960's, were HUGE. They put out a ton of music and kind of transitioned between the Doo Wop songs of the '50's and the rock music of the late '60's, early '70's. They always had great songs about surfing and fast cars that were catchy and had a great beat to dance to. But if you want to experience their slower, but still great harmonies, check out In My Room. Their popularity hung on through the 1970's and even into the 1980's. In fact, their song, Kokomo, was used in the Tom Cruise movie Cocktail in 1988. It was the last big hit that I remember them having. Their sound aged, but never got old.

60's for sure...you have to go and dance on the beach listening to The Beach Boys.....Legends.... but anywhere, anytime...fun, happy music.....

When they do the BA BA BA BA BA BARBARA ANN, that highest voice is Dean Torrence of Jan and Dean. Brian Wilson wrote alot of songs for them and Dean was visiting the studio when they asked him to join in. I don't know if this was in Brian's home studio or an outside studio

The Beach Boys were HUGE about the time this song came out, but the more Rock acts kind of put them (and others) into the background later in the sixties. Plus the tech improvements in recording and instrumentation seemed to drive out vocal harmonies. But a lot of great music came before the Rock era.

My Grandma introduced me to The Beach Boys from an early age. Jan & Dean and a lot of others too. In the early 60’s she was living in Hawaii. My favorite story was how she ran a “Ban the British Invasion” campaign at the radio station where she worked. It was surf music and surf culture all the way and they weren’t going to give it up without a fight.

The Beach Boys ruled the mid 1960s. They once outsold the Beatles. According to the Billboard 100, in Feb. 1965, the Beatles “Ticket to ride” was knocked out of the #1 spot by The Beach Boys hit “Help me Rhonda” that’s huge.

Beach Boys' revolutionary album "Pet Sounds" influenced so many artist/groups after its 1966 issue. KOKOMO is their only #1 record. Soundtrack of Tom Cruise "Cocktails". Heartedly recommend... GOD ONLY KNOWS GOOD VIBRATIONS

Give a listen to "Wouldn't It Be Nice" "God Only Knows" "Little GTO" "Help Me Rhonda" "Little Old Lady From Pasadena" "Fun Fun Fun" "Good Vibrations" and many more.

Somewhere on KZfaq there's a clip of The Who performing this song in a music hall in France in 1966. There's another hilarious one of them playing it years later in private when they're just fooling around. Drummer Keith Moon loved The Beach Boys.

I was born in 62, and I dig your hippie vibe.

This music never gets old... Still sounds good after all these years... On this particular video I love the song but I love your Reactions... Absolutely adorable... Peace..

The Beach Boys were more than huge! Glad you liked this. Love your outfits!

You're right, Jay, they're definitely pronouncing it "Bobber-Ann." They're just having a HECK of a lot of fun, and it sounds like they're recording this at a party!

The Beach Boys were absolutely huge in the 1960s. They had a few hits in the 70s as well, but their claim to fame was a slew of number one hits in the 60s decade with surf music. They also reached huge popularity many years later in 1988 with Kokomo.

The Beach Boys were huge, have many great songs that have and always will remain timeless

Happy Hippie Halloween Jay and Amber. To answer your question, The Beach Boys were huge in the ‘60’s. They were on the radio all the time. A few of their big hits, besides the ones you already reacted to, are “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “California Girls,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” and “I Get Around,” which is my favorite. I think you should react to all of them! Have fun!

The BB's were the biggest thing in Rock & Roll from 1962-64 until the Beatles and the other British Invasion came along but the BB's held their own up until 1967 when their creative force Brian Wilson had a breakdown and their experimental "SMiLE" album was unreleased. They continued to make records and had the occasional hit and remained a successful touring act through the 90's until Carl Wilson died in 1998. Two members continue today as a touring only act. Five members did a 50th Anniversary reunion tour and album in 2012. Brian Wilson continues to write and record music today. They had a #1 in 1988 with "Kokomo", their last Top 40 hit. The 1966 album "Pet Sounds" is considered to be their creative high point by most critics.

This song had Dean Torrence from Jan & Dean on it. They were big at the same time. Surf City, Deadman's Curve ...Jan had a terrible car crash, that left him debilitated. The BeaTles arrived in 1964, most american rockers had to change their styles. Even Elvis' sales suffered at first. The surf sound took beautiful 4 & 5 part harmonies, and made the bridge between Doo-Wop and Folk music into the Southern California sound. That's when we got the Mama's and Papa's, Scott McKenzie, Bob Dylan and then the Flower Power movement. Fun music at a time our nation needed it most. We had just lost JFK, Civil Rights were being trampled on. Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy all assassinated. The Beach Boys were right there. They have been very under appreciated. I love their music. They grew as a band also, everyone mentions the iconic album Pet Sounds. The song "God only knows" there were different styles, but the harmonies were always there. My personal favorites are "Surfer Girl" and "In My Room" . And for just fun songs "California Girls" and Ko Ko Mo.
