On October 10th, 1966, the Beach Boys released the single Good Vibrations. With its release, this surf loving rock band is said to have influenced a Rock & Roll revolution. “Good Vibrations may yet prove to be the most significantly revolutionary piece of the current rock renaissance…. In no minor way, Good Vibrations is a primary influential piece for all producing rock artists; everyone has felt its import to some degree, in such disparate things as the Yellow Balloons Yellow Balloon and the Beatles A Day in the Life, in groups as far apart as (recent) Grateful Dead and the Association, as Van Dyke Parks and the Who.[29] And here’s a cool story about it: “Wilson has recounted that the genesis of the title Good Vibrations came from when his mother explained to him as a child that dogs sometimes bark at people in response to their bad vibrations. Fascinated by the concept, Wilson turned it into the general idea of limbic resonance or extrasensory perception, and developed the rest of the song as it was recorded.[1][2] It sold over 230,000 copies in the US during its first four days of its release and entered the Cash Box chart at number 61 on October 22.[53] In the UK, the song sold over 50,000 copies in the first 15 days of its release.[54] Good Vibrations quickly became the Beach Boys first million-selling single “The song Good Vibrations is part of the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fames 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.[14] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Vibrations
