I made this playlist a while back, and I've enjoyed it way too much not to share it. It's made up completely of modern tunes that are, to my ear anyway, in some way inspired by the Beach Boys. In some of them, it's just the percussion that does it for me, in others its the harmonies or the production techniques - some are more overt than others (The Explorer's Club and Panda Bear), but a few of the subtler ones are real stand-outs as well (the breakdown in "Quiet Houses"). This started out as a sort of novelty playlist but it's turned into one of my favorite mixes from last year - I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Great little playlist! Id also add this song "Hal - Play The Hits" though it is abit older than the other tracks.
was just listening to 'quiet houses' and was excited to hear very obvious beach boys. went to google to see if this was a common thought, hoping i have the makings of a genius music reviewer! thanks for the validation
and loove 'no one does it like you'. that music video is perfection.
