SUNFLOWER

produced by the Beach Boys

Band line-up
Mike Love
Brian Wilson
Carl Wilson
Dennis Wilson
Al Jardine
Bruce Johnston

Bruce Johnston has often said this is the Beach Boys album he is proudest of, and many fans can see why. Generally rated only just below Pet Sounds by fans, this is a solid group effort, with the Wilson brothers shining in particular, and Bruce Johnston taking his first lead vocals on a Beach Boys album. The album was their first for Warner Brothers.
