Beach Boys

It's been a tumultuous year for many of rock's biggest acts.

There were almost 30 stops set for July and August.

They set new standards in long-form recording – both culturally and commercially.

The tracks that helped shape the cultural landscape of the U.S. over the past six decades.

They helped push rock into fun and interesting places – and they're still out there doing it.

Their U.S. stops include a multi-night residency at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl to celebrate July 4th.

Rock and pop LPs found new ways of expression during the year. A revolution was right around the corner.

'Love You,' '15 Big Ones' and (finally!) 'Adult/Child' sessions on 3-CD/3-LP box.

The year pop music grew up, featuring the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan and more.

Some of rock's most beloved holiday songs vie for your votes.
