Return to the beginnings

In June 1974, released a collection of early hits «Endless Summercollec, which unexpectedly won the 1-position and remained in the Billboard 200 in the continuation of 155 weeks. This is the plate returned to the wide public attention by The Beach Boys, and for several generations was the first introduction to their music. Perhaps this success, as well as the depletion of the vision of the musical direction, pushed The Beach Boys return to a more simple, rock-n-rollnomu sounding. The result was the album «15 Big Ones» (1976), in establishing the first time since 1967 to participate fully, Brian Wilson, staying in zatvornichestve all previous years. On a similar formula had been released after a few more albums, had far less success: «Love You» (1977), «MIU Album »(1978),« L.A. (Light Album) »(1979),« Keepin 'The Summer Alive »(1980). In 1982, the insanity of Brian Wilson entered the new phase, forcing him again to leave the group. Since then, Brian has participated in the group only occasionally, very rarely appearing at the concerts. Soon, The Beach Boys suffered another loss, this time non-returnable: 28 December 1983 in a state of drunkenness drowned drummer Dennis Wilson Group.
