The Beach Boys – 15 Big Ones

The Beach Boys – 15 Big Ones is a later album where Brian Wilson steps forward again, and the band mixes original songs with classic covers.

It features energetic rock'n'roll, nostalgic interpretations, and the typical Beach Boys feel with vocal harmonies and melodic sensibility. The album reflects the band's attempt to reclaim the stage in the mid-70s and is an interesting piece of Beach Boys history for those who want more than just greatest hits compilations.
