Please explain "For a brief period of time", which I am deleting. Beach Boys music (at least before "Pet Sounds") continued to have a fun-in-the-sun feel, but the themes would be becoming more "mature".

"For a brief period of time following its release, All Summer Long was to be their final album which reveled in California beach culture."— Precedingunsigned comment added by128.63.16.47 (talk)22:25, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They did not record a single song about surfing or the beach until 1969 with "Do It Again".--Ilovetopaint (talk)03:31, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Do It Again" was recorded and released in 1968.Andrew G. Doe (talk)14:56, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think this claim is debatable, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to say that I Get Around is about a car.— Precedingunsigned comment added byTangerines404 (talk •contribs)

I Get Around is about the Beach Boys themselves, their boredom with "driving up and down the same old strip", and their success at attaining wealth, fame, and women. It's about a car like Good Vibrations is about perfume.ili (talk)17:40, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• "The album also served as a riposte to the Beatles, who had recently overtaken the Four Seasons as the Beach Boys' chief rival act. It contained the band's most complex arrangements and refined vocal performances on a record to date, including the songs "Wendy", "Drive-In", "Don't Back Down", and a rendition of the Mystics' 1959 hit "Hushabye"." → "The album, which also served as a riposte to the Beatles, who had recently overtaken the Four Seasons as the Beach Boys' chief rival act, contained the band's most complex arrangements and refined vocal performances on a record to date.

• Add page number for Larkin 2002 [78]
• Not needed, but access dates could be added for [23], [46] and [43].
• Consider shortening the quotes in the Content section, as the article has a 55% similarity withLittle Deuce Coupe liner notes.

• Two images (The Beach Boys September 16 1967 Billboard.png andThe Beach Boys (1965).png) are fromBillboard magazine before 1978.
• Sunset Boulevard image is someone's own work, Paradise Cove image is from flickr
• Sullivan Beach Boys.jpg has good licensing, but a link to the actual trailer in the source parameter would help.
• Putting on hold now.Realmaxxver (talk)10:13, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• I'll address this once I have the time to do so. However, I already know I won't be able to supply a page number for the Larkin source simply because the Google preview does not show page numbers.ili (talk)03:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
