The Beach Boys released Pet Sounds on May 16, 1966 in the United States
One of the greatest and most influential albums in pop music history, The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds was released on May 16th of 1966. 41 years ago today.
The album is almost universally regarded by music critics as the Beach Boys artistic peak.
It often places extremely high on rock critics lists of the greatest albums of all time. In 2003 Rolling Stone placed it as the second greatest album of all time after only The Beatles Sgt Pepper. It also made Time's list of the top 100 albums of all time in 2006 and the The Guardian's 2006 list of 50 albums that changed music.
It's revered by Paul McCartney who says that Sgt Pepper was The Beatles attempt to equal Pet Sounds. Elton John said that to say he was "enthralled" by Pet Sounds would be an understatement and that Pet Sounds was a huge influence on him and countless others.
