I'm very sad to announce that today, we lost a musician, a singer, a songwriter, and a record producer. Brian Wilson, the very Pop genius that revolutionized music forever as well as a co-founder of The Beach Boys, died at the age of 82 today on June 11th, 2025. He was 82 years old.
Now, I was listening to The Beach Boys earlier today, and as I was coming back home, I was scrolling on YouTube, and there, I found out that Brian Wilson was dead. I was like, "no! not him, too!" and I cried for a few minutes... seeing how one of my favorite musicians dies all of a sudden is so saddening to hear...
Pet Sounds is one of my favorite albums ever made, and everybody should listen to it. It changed the music industry when it first came out in 1966. It was so influential, The Beatles took it as inspiration to make Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which, along with Pet Sounds, became one of the best albums ever made. There were many other great albums from The Beach Boys like Smiley Smile, Wild Honey, Friends, 20/20, Sunflower, and of course, the legendary SMiLE album, which is the most greatest album to never release.
Many people call Brian Wilson a Pop Genius. which I think is true. He will go down in history as one of the greatest musicians to ever exist.
Rest in peace, Brian Wilson. you really were a musical genius. (June 20th, 1942-June 11th, 2025)
and that's pretty much all there is to say. I hope Brian can fly high with his brothers and the rest of the greats of music.
also, screw Mike Love.
