Released in 1963, Surfin' USA is the second studio album from The Beach Boys. Though not yet fully formed, the genius that Brian Wilson had on display on 1965's Pet Sounds was beginning to show through here, as he began experimenting with double tracked vocals and took a stronger production role overall.

 

Featuring the classic title track, as well as "Shut Down", and their version of "Misirlou", and with the timeless cover photo of surfing legend Les Williams riding a monster wave, Surfin' USA is a stone surf classic.
