The Beach Boys was much more that just July imho. They went through phases themselves, going from the Surf in the beginning, taking much influence from Dick Dale to Psychedelia taking their cue what was happening at the time. The Beach Boys during the 60s was more like March... I think... coming in like a surfing lamb and going out psychedelic lion. During the 70s the Beach Boys was more like the gloomy rainy day in April. In the 80s when they released Kokomo the Beach Boys was like May that one perfect day you always find in May where it is not too hot or too cold just enjoyable cool weather.
