| | Brian Wilson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wilson admired Phil Spector, considering Spector both a mentor and rival. | | | Brian's recovery continued as he joined the band onstage in Live Aid in 1985, and recorded a new eponymous album with the Beach Boys. | | | Although changing trends in music sometimes rendered Wilson's earlier work unfashionable, he is now acknowledged as one of the most significant and innovative musicians and composers of 20th century popular music. |

| | Brian Wilson: Smile: Pitchfork Review |
| | Brian Wilson was the son of a songwriter. | | | The album ends with a suite of Wilson's most idiosyncratic music. | | | Wilson's lead vocal sounds markedly gruffer in places, though more telling is his complete lack of hesitation in the phrases. |

| | Mike Love, Wilson's cousin and most vocal critic in the band, scoffed that it was "a whole album of Brian's madness". | | | When Brian Wilson had his nervous breakdown in the 1960s, he was working on a concept album called Smile. | | | Wilson had written Pet Sounds in response to hearing Rubber Soul, while the Beatles' Revolver was said to be in part their reply to Pet Sounds. |

| | Wilson issued a debut solo album in 1988, with a promising lead single "Love and Mercy," but a pop crossover proved elusive; ironically, the Beach Boys had concurrently recorded their own comeback around the same time, and took "Kokomo" to the top of the charts. | | | Although Wilson was never a standout as a live performer, he began touring and released a pair of live titles: Live at the Roxy Theatre (2000) and Pet Sounds Live (2002). | | | Also, it was overshadowed by Wilson's preparation of the legendary Beach Boys record SMiLE for its live debut and a new studio recording. |

| | Perhaps the best news Wilson has to report is that he's planning a "rock and roll" album as a follow-up, and that it may include some of the tracks he worked on with Paley. | | | The sets Wilson has been playing include some familiar Beach Boys hits, but he's also been performing a number of fan favorites that the group seldom did, with considerable attention paid to the revered Pet Sounds album. | | | He's been encoring with the sublime "Caroline No," and his live intro to that song -- "Here's a song I sang like a girl" -- may be the most irreverent thing anyone's ever said about it. |

| | Smile, Brian Wilson's ill-starred attempt at the ultimate pop album, is the most famous album that was never made. | | | Murray Wilson was Brian's legendarily abusive father; he managed the Beach Boys early in their recording career, but was eventually fired. | | | In the last few years quite a number of tracks from the album have been officially released, revealing Smile, even in the rough, to be a splendid and highly imaginative "intertextual" tour of pop music's diverse landscape. |

| | Brian Wilson : Brian Wilson - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | Brian Wilson's first solo album created a good share of media hoopla upon its release. | | | However, the songs were not among Wilson's best either, their hooks pleasant but easily fading from memory, the lyrics full of ambiguous romantic optimism that was totally belied by the nervous, mannered vocals. | | | For all that, it remains the best album of Wilson's solo career, principally because he has recorded so little material since then, and written even less. |

| | Brian Wilson on Brian Wilson music in the UK It's a barely credible answer, that this beautiful American dreamer would now feel himself as an outsider in a land that took much of his own vision as its own utopia, its own pastoral. | | | Originally conceived in the aftermath of the Beach Boys' now-canonical Pet Sounds album of 1966, the litany of hopes and eventual failures surrounding the non-appearance of the record are now the stuff of countless biographies and articles. | | | As for Smile, Brian himself places the record in some degree of context: "SMiLe is a great album, though the essence of Brian Wilson is Pet Sounds." |

| | When he started working on it in 1966, Brian Wilson thought SMiLE would be a turning point for pop music. | | | As for the intrigues behind and within SMiLE (or Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE, as the CD cover reads), it will probably be more fun for fans to hypothesize about the creative decisions made 37 years later than to hear Wilson's answers about them. | | | On his long road back, marked by a half-dozen solo studio albums in the past 16 years, Wilson has relied heavily on the support of others. |
