Led by Brian Wilson’s visionary production, their 1966 album Pet Sounds influenced global rock, including The Beatles. Hits like "Good Vibrations," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," and "God Only Knows" showcased emotional depth and sonic experimentation. Despite Wilson’s mental health struggles and internal band tensions, their music became synonymous with American optimism. The group’s innovative layering of pop, jazz, and classical elements redefined studio recording. They continue to be celebrated for crafting some of the most sophisticated and enduring melodies in music history, influencing countless artists across genres.
