The cynic may question just how many Beach Boys greatest hits albums are enough. Everyone else, however, will appreciate what makes Sounds of Summer unique. This is the first single-disc collection to feature such a large cross section of hits from the group's entire career, spanning 1962's "Surfin' Safari" through 1988's "Kokomo." All 30 tracks, spanning several label changes, were Billboard Top 40 hits and are probably now as identifiable as the national anthem to anyone with radio or TV access. The fact that the tracks aren't in chronological order helps make for a fresh listening experience, as does the crisp digital sound. And yet these songs--even those that are more than four decades old--always sound strangely fresh and will likely remain so as long as there are beaches, young people, and that symbolic season of freedom and dreams. Which is to say that the title here passes the "truth in advertising" test. Perfect for those casual fans not yet ready to spring for the individual albums, Sounds of Summer is in many ways a better representation of this legendary band's art than Elvis' 30 No. 1 Hits and The Beatles 1 were of the King and the Fab Four. --Bill Holdship

I grew up on the Beach Boy's music, and in my opinion there has been nothing better to come out of California since them. For kids these days who insist on avoiding classical, I don't know if there could possibly be a better option for them. It expresses a good spirit and sentiment, friends living by the ocean, nice cars, fun, love, surfing, relaxation. But long gone are the days of the Beach Boys: R.I.P. California - You were once the best, and now you have sunk to the bottom. As much fun as ... Read More

I bought this CD to introduce my 5 yr. old to some different music that I could also listen to. He loved it! It has some really great songs on the CD and we will be listening to it as a family for a long time to come. It will definitely be with us on our long road trip this summer.

As one of the big three American 60's pop/rock bands (The Byrds and Simon & Garfunkel), The Beach Boys defined a California Dream in sun soaked harmonies and the creation of a mythos that has never quite died. This despite the admitable oddness that surrounds the band and its members (the abusive Dad who sold off the music rights, Brian's fall into mental disease, the drugs, the latter day internal squabbles). None of the quirks (or a couple noticeably absent songs) matter when you listen to the 30 ... Read More

This is the Beach Boys at their best. With few exceptions -- most notably FOREVER -- this 30 track compilation is a nicely packaged package of their best and most remembered songs. The sound quality is outstanding and the inclusion of some mono tracks is a plus. Mono is how some of these songs were meant to be heard which is something that should carry some weight. An outstanding value for ~10 dollars.
