Rock's Back Pages: The Beach Boys

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

3/6 Stuart Maconie profiles six undisputed heavies of pop and rock. The series traces their careers through original reviews and features from some of the undisputed heavies of music journalism.
Originally a hugely popular but critically marginalised West Coast pop act, the Beach Boys now rank as one of the more influential acts of the last half-century. Examples of writing from Barney Hoskyns, Fred Dellar and Lenny Kaye illustrate their evolution.
