Continuing in our look at some of the major forces of the music of the early 1960s that shaped the rest of the decade, this week we look at surf rock: its origins, artists and the reason for its popularity.

Pet Sounds, Part IV
It occured to me that to write an entire article about every single individual song on Pet Sounds would take an enormous amount of time away from the History of Rock, and that I've explained the basic principles of the new concepts that were used in the creation of Pet Sounds.

If you want to know about what it was that made Pet Sounds so influential, I suggest reading one of the articles previous to this one.

Without self-realization the character is just going by instinct and it means throughout all their experiences they had, they didn't learn a thing. Realization for the character is a moment of impact.
