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.

Brian Wilson made “The Beach Boys Love You” emerging from mental illness. It was a major flop, ending his relationship with the band, but a thrilling work of art.
