Description
Sunflower is the sixteenth studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on August 31, 1970, and their first on Reprise Records. The album received critical acclaim, but sold poorly, reaching number 151 on US record charts during a four-week stay and becoming the lowest-charting Beach Boys album to that point. "Add Some Music to Your Day" was the only single that charted in the US, peaking at number 64. In the UK, the album peaked at number 29.
Working titles for the album included Reverberation, Add Some Music, and The Fading Rock Group Revival. The recording sessions began in January 1969, and after a year-long search for a new record contract, completed in July 1970, by which time the group had signed with Reprise. In contrast to 20/20, the record featured a strong group presence with significant writing contributions from all band members.[4] About four dozen songs were written for the album, and the label rejected numerous revisions of its track listing before the band presented enough formidable material deemed satisfactory for release. Many of the leftover songs later appeared on subsequent Beach Boys releases, including the follow-up Surf's Up (1971).
Fans generally regard Sunflower as the Beach Boys' finest post-Pet Sounds album.[5] It was voted number 380 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" (2003), number 66 in The Guardian's "100 Best Albums Ever" (1997), and number 449 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000). The track "All I Wanna Do" has been retrospectively cited as one of the earliest examples of chillwave, a microgenre that emerged in the 2000s.
