The Beach Boys American rock music band formed in 1961 by brothers Brian Wilson, 1942-, Dennis Wilson, 1944-83, and Carl Wilson, 1946-98, with Mike Love, 1941-, and Alan Jardine, 1942-. The band popularized, if not invented, California rock, a style that featured rich, simple guitar work and vocal harmonies and that glorified a teenage life in California centered on surfing, dating, and driving. Their recordings include Surfin' USA, Fun, Fun, Fun, California Girls, and the proto-psychedelic Good Vibrations. The band has survived despite frequent personnel changes, and maintained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s as a nostalgia act. In 1988 they achieved chart success again with Kokomo.
