HAPPY 60TH ANNIVERSARY to the GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME: “PET SOUNDS,” by THE BEACH BOYS, first released on THIS DATE in 1966! I still listen to this album all the time & am emotionally gutted by its sonic power, lyrical beauty & sheer brilliance, courtesy of BRIAN WILSON!

“Early on, I learned that when I tuned the world out, I was able to tune in a mysterious, God-given music. It was my gift, and it allowed me to interpret and understand emotions I couldn’t articulate.” Rest in peace, Brian Wilson. rollingstone.com/music/music…

RIP to the Beach Boy himself: Brian Wilson. An American through and through, who made it cool to be a little off, so the rest of us all had an easier time fitting in to a misshapen world. Everybody give him a nice big SMiLE! 😊

Won’t lie. Had a good cry this afternoon. So silly. I didn’t know him. But Brian Wilson, through the emotional layers of beauty and the complexity of his music, guided by his gift, helped me through my darkest times. God only knows what I’d be without him. Love and Mercy

Super Sky Point to Brian Wilson, one of the most incredible musical geniuses to ever grace this planet and a gentle soul. Pet Sounds remains a masterpiece waiting to be discovered by future generations. Brian had a hard life but gave us so much. St. Peter, grab a surfboard. #RIP

Few artists have glimpsed, chronicled, and shaped the American Experience more brilliantly or directly than #BrianWilson of @TheBeachBoys. “I just wasn’t made for these times.” Hopefully Brian ascends now to the times for which he *was* made, surrounded by love. RIP

Brian Wilson has passed away at age 82. He gave us the sound of innocence, the ache of longing, and the harmony of hope. Today, the world is quieter without him. Thank you for the music, Brian.

Good Vibrations is a symphony. This clip of Brian Wilson and The Wrecking Crew recording the track is outer worldly. Proof that all he needed were just musicians to play his material. He is The Beach Boys.

X I'm sorry but Brian Wilson's death should be at the top of every news service today. Folk like him for over 60 years was spreading love and joy and fun, whether you liked the Beach Boys or not. He's influenced millions that came after him, left a string of amazing songs and wrote the greatest love song of all time, God only knows, and one of the greatest songs of all time, Good Vibrations. :)

The term "musical genius" gets thrown around a lot today, which is surprising because 99.6% of music today absolutely sucks. Brian Wilson was a musical genius.

What an extraordinary talent! Brian Wilson single-handedly raised the bar on how to write and arrange a great pop song. He inspired and touched so many songwriters, including me. It pushed the Beatles towards Sergeant Pepper and in God Only Knows he created a masterpiece that remains unmatched to this day. God speed, Brian. -pg
