Featured Rock Albums


1966


The Beach Boys
Pet Sounds

Pet Sounds had the most intricate vocal and instrumental sections of any Beach Boys album. It was the first time that the band was mostly replaced by studio musicians (such the Wrecking Crew) on instrumental pieces. The record was also a break away from their typical small-ensemble pop/rock band format and it was not reproducible live.
