On this week's episode we discuss Sunflower, the1970 LP by the Beach Boys. 

The Beach Boys' songwriting was mainly Brian Wilson's department, especially after their masterpiece, Pet Sounds. But on 1970's Sunflower, all members contributed to the songwriting, instrumentation, vocals (with some help from other background singers and members of the great Wrecking Crew ), and even the production. And they are fine contributions indeed. Though this was their lowest selling album at the time of its release, it was hailed by many in the rock industry as their best post-Pet Sounds LP, and in retrospect is considered  one of the best albums of the 1970's, and included on manynlists of all-time greats. Sunflower is a collection of fantastic songs that branches out from the "typical" Beach Boys sound, to include songs that embrace soul and R and B, and anticipated the advent of Chillwave decades later.
