Line 18:
For much of the rest of the time, the surviving Beach Boys splintered into three units: The Beach Boys, which is essentially Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, and an assortment of session musicians milking every ounce of copper they can get from the udders of the past; Brian Wilson, who tours with a different assortment of session musicians and continues to record excellent music with them, including, at long last, his dream project ''Smile'' in 2004; and Al Jardine, who left the splintered remains of the original group after Carl's death and now tours with his son and an assortment of session musicians known as Al Jardine's Endless Summer Band.
In 2012, on the 50th anniversary of the band's first album, ''Surfin' Safari'', the unexpected happened: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131013091238/http://www.brianwilson.com/tour a full reunion of the surviving Beach Boys], including Mike Love, Brian Wilson, Bruce Johnston, Al Jardine and David Marks (who replaced Jardine for the first few albums, and who reunited with the Love/Johnston touring line up most recently), took place for a 50th Anniversary world tour and the recording of a new studio album, co-produced by Love and a rejuventated Brian Wilson
Numerous artists have cited them as a major influence, including [[Animal Collective]], [[The Ramones]], [[Alice Cooper]], [[Elton John]], [[Weezer]], [[The Flaming Lips]], basically the entire indie rock genre, and [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]] themselves.

* [[Sixth Ranger]]- Bruce Johnston, offically
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism]] - Really, the entire story of Brian Wilson vs. Mike Love can be boiled down to this, as Brian's desire to create moving, spiritual music clashed with Mike's attitude of "don't fuck with the formula".
* [[Soprano and Gravel]] - Variation: Mike Love's nasal growl alternating with Brian Wilson's soaring falsetto.
* [[Stop and Go]] - "The Little Girl I Once Knew" did this not once but twice, which almost certainly hurt the song's performance on the singles chart. Radio programmers were loath to play it due to its moments of dead air.
