God only knows will be my ear worm for a few days now, but that's ok. RIP Brian

So sad

RIP Brian Wilson.

Sad, sad news 💔

Wasn't he heavily into drugs in the late '60s?

RIP 😢🙏 The Beach Boys was the soundtrack of my childhood. Makes me think of piling into the unACed station wagon wet and sandy after a day at the beach.

Oh yes. One of my favorites.

One of my favorite songs of all time. RIP Brian

God Only Knows is a masterpiece.

A true American music icon

That’s too bad 😞

Very sad to hear. Saw them in concert years and have always been a fan of his musical style

Sad day!

Loved The Beach Boys … and really enjoy all the eulogies … miss those times 😢🕯️RIP Brian

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great music that made a lot of happy memories for many of us. RIP

✅️💔🙏

😢 lost a musical genius

😔

Oof. Sly Stone, Brian Wilson. These things tend to come in threes. Is there another genius who is ailing?

Fantastic music for many years thank you Brian Wilson rest in peace

Damn it.

I hope the younger generations come to understand how important Brian Wilson is/was to music. A genius and so grateful I got to see him live a few years ago.

He was still with them for like 40 years

RIP, God Only Knows what we'll do without you.

Sigh... The day the vibes died.

RIP Good Sir. Your music will live on.

May he RIP 🙏. Thank you for sharing your talent

Surface up Brian RIP

R.I.P.

😪💔💔💔

Aww no. Sly Stone Monday and Brian Wilson today!! Two absolute giants. Jeez. Anyone you has suffered with anxiety/mental health issues will relate to this Brian Wilson masterpiece. 1963, decades ahead of its time. youtu.be/l71pbhqnvNM?...

Don't worry baby.... Thank you

A true musical genius.

😥💔

So sad, I loved him. Glad to still have all his music.

Neurocognitive*

what a great song writer.

☹️RIP oh brilliant one.

Bummer. Rest in Peace Brian.

😢😢😢

For ever music from generation to generation

💔

R.I.P. You made the world a better place with your music.

“In My Room” crystallizes the isolation and helplessness a child feels with an abusive parent. Their room provides a sanctuary and a place where they can self cope. I can’t listen to that song without tearing up.

RIP

I still think that Good Vibrations was one of the best songs from the 1960s. I wish you Godspeed, Brian.

For my 13th birthday I got my first ever LP - The Beach Boys Endless Summer - it is still a go-to whenever my spirit needs a lift His music will live on in the hearts of so many around the world Thank You Brian ❤️

Genius.

RIP For so many of us 😢😢😢 💜

Well this really sucks.

RIP!

😢

A musical genius.

May he RIP 🙏

Genius.

RIP Brian. I learned to dance to “I Get Around” at about the age of three. The “Froog” I think it was. 😞

Gonna go throw some good vibrations on. We all need some

Do we have to debate whether or not he was a genius today? Really? Give it a break, at least today. Lots of top musicians point to “Pet Sounds” With reverence.

Major force. Rip Brian.

Did Vance "visit" him too?

RIP

😢 Not only did I listen to The Beach Boys when I was young I made my children & grandchildren listen every single time we went to the beach.

Honoring his creativity, innovation and body of work.

Genius is a word often overused but in the case of Mr Brian Wilson it is entirely justified and appropriate. Rest in peace and thank you for the music.

Another great passes.

Brian Wilson wrote Good Vibrations 60 years ago, and that song still sounds like it’s from a time not here yet.

Thank you for the music, Brian Wilson 🌞 Rest in peace 💖

🙏

Damn. RIP to one of the best to ever do it.

Never listened to The Beach Boys but RIP

Another one of the greats.

Gosh, what a loss. What a legend.

😭

If anyone here isn't listening to a history of rock music in 500 songs get on that asap and listen to his Beach Boys episodes. They combine social history, musicology, real fact checking research and a deep passion for the material. Andrew Hickey is an amazing storyteller.

Sad day. What a great soul.

💔😭

😥😥😥😥😥

Aww man. RIP.

I agree. I was just a punk kid but their songs spoke the heart of beach experience!

😭😭😭

Good Vibrations is the Sistine Chapel of pop music. Surf’s Up is the Pietà by Michelangelo. When Brian was on he was brilliant. Ex: Caroline No, God Only Knows, wouldn’t It Be Nice, Wind Chimes…

Oh no, rest in everlasting peace Brian! The Beach Boys were the soundtrack to my teen years in SoCal

Brian Wilson in his living room that he had filled with sand and a baby grand piano. He was a Legend.

Very sad, poor chap, experienced a lot of mental health issues.

RIP Brian. Super talented musical genius, who shaped the sound of a generation, and had such a profound influence on future musical artists.

Rip. Thank you for the wonderful music.

So many to choose from.... But one that hasn't been posted yet but reflects the genre and soul of the band... R.I.P. BW. youtu.be/vsDKMkPCOeA?...

RIP!

😱 I saw them past month!!!!

The end of an era.

Beautiful and brilliant Brian Wilson rest in peace ❤️

😢💔🙏

Rest in peace, somewhere over the rainbow, Mr.Wilson, singing the remenbered songs of my summer youth growing up in California.

My favorite.

Thank you Brian Wilson, with love, may you enjoy you peace.

RIP Good Vibrations!

🫶❤️‍🩹

Very sad. Brian Wilson came up with many gorgeous melodies. "Good Vibrations" was ground-breaking. But my favourite is "Wouldn't it be nice". Some songs have key changes in the middle or towards the end, but WIBN actually starts with a key change. Genius.

Man I'm sad now.......

Rest in Peace, Brian

Why him??? Someone else 🐽 was much more deserving!

🌹🌹🌹🕊🕊🕊, one of our fav musicians & songwriters!! Brian shall be missed! ..condolences to Brian's family & friends.

RIP ☹️

Very talented man

He was a genius! RIP

RIP Brian... you gave us so many fond memories and your legacy will live on forever...

😢 RIP! Beautiful Brian!

💔 The warmth of the sun. May he rest in peace.

RIP 💕

💔

Loving this doesn't seem right... 😢

Genius. Utter genius.

RIP Genius

Smile (2004) really is brilliant.

Indeed. It was a PR ploy. But the music was still great.

💔

Rest in peace. He was a true genius.

One of a kind 💟😞

Creative force. Mutual admiration with Paul McCartney

😔🥺💔

RIP
