The Beach Boys Complete Discography

My favorite American band of all time is The Beach Boys.  They originally became famous for their surf rock songs, but their catalogue is much more expansive than their "surf" music beginnings--they have released 29 full length studio albums!  My favorite Beach Boys album is Pet Sounds, which has exactly zero surf songs.  For this post, I thought I'd share all of their studio albums, with links to listen to them, to share the amazing beauty that is the Beach Boys, helmed by the musical genius Brian Wilson.  Click the title of each album to give it a listen...
