The Beach Boys‘ songs were great, but they didn’t have a tremendous amount of influence on mainstream music like The Beatles had. Very few mainstream groups could be classified as Beach Boys wannabes. Despite this, one band crafted a hit Beach Boys homage so good that it’s easy to mistake it for the real thing.
The Beach Boys clearly inspired a 1970s song
The Beach Boys ruled the 1960s but the 1970s were much harder on them. Aside from a bad cover of Chuck Berry’s “Rock and Roll Music,” they didn’t have much of a commercial impact. Some fans say that’s because the quality of popular music took a radical downward shift in the 1970s, so much so that the radio had no room for new Beach Boys songs. Others would say The Beach Boys’ 1970s output wasn’t good or commercial enough for the pop charts.

The fashion industry is going to miss Michelle Obama. Whereas first-lady style used to be comprised of lavish, luxurious ensembles, saved for the day dreams of American women, Barack Obama's better half brought a refreshing twist on "traditional" White House styling, making her clothes relatable and, more importantly, accessible for the public. The ivy league-educated lawyer and mother of two used forward-thinking fashion not only to communicate her ideals, but to point a larger message of who is today's American woman. Inclusion, diversity, health and positive body image are just a few of the themes that propelled a worldwide fixation on this particular Flotus' style. Since...
