“Woudn’t It Be Nice” reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966, while its follow-up single, “God Only Knows,” hit No. 39 later that same year. Both are from Pet Sounds. In total, The Beach Boys boast 35 top 40-charted hits on the Hot 100.

Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys passed away June 11 at age 82, just two days after fellow Californian Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone left us at the same age. We remember Wilson with five Beach Boys flip sides and conclude with a Sly and the Family Stone flip side.

The death of Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson reminds us all that the great artists don't live forever, and we should cherish their masterworks while they're here.
