#410 The Beach Boys, 'Wild Honey' (1967)

In 1966, The Beach Boys released their magnum opus, one of the greatest records of all time, ‘Pet Sounds.’ The follow up, ‘Smile,’ drove Brian Wilson to the point of insanity. The band instead released a stripped down version, ‘Smiley Smile.’ ‘Wild Honey’ was the album that followed those records. How do you follow those records up? Well, you don’t.
