The Beach Boys Discography: Solo Albums

Motivation

With a career that spans over six decades, The Beach Boys have one of the most extensive discographies out there. Listeners typically approach their music through either one of their many Greatest Hits compilations or through their masterpiece 'Pet Sounds'. But most of the time they just scratch the surface and find it hard to know where to go from there, missing amazing albums such as 'The Beach Boys Today!' or 'Sunflower'.

As lifelong Beach Boys fans, we thought we could build a better way of exploring The Beach Boys records by focusing on discoverability. The result is a browsing experience that feels like digging through vinyls.
