- The Beach Boys. Though Brian Wilson's harmonic genius continued sporadically through the '70s, he wrote the Beach Boys' most influential music in the prior decade — from the peppy, richly harmonized, surf-obsessed hits of their early days to the psychedelic studio experiments of 'Pet Sounds,' 'Smiley Smile' and 'Wild Honey.'
