"Mike Love has claimed that Brian Wilson will rejoin the Beach Boys next year to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Wilson was the group&amp;#039;s leader and chief songwriter but was pushed to the periphery after the cancellation of the Smile project in 1967. In recent years, Love and Bruce Johnston have led a touring version of the Beach Boys which does not include Wilson. Love told the Las Vegas Sun: &amp;quot;Close your eyes and not only do we today replicate exactly how the original songs sounded, but the technology has gotten better so we even sound better. &amp;quot;We began in the fall of 1961, and our first tour was in 1962, and it&amp;#039;s been nonstop since then. Now we&amp;#039;re gearing up for the 50th anniversary, and Brian Wilson, who has been working on some unfinished Gershwin music project, will rejoin us.&amp;quot; Asked to name his top Beach Boys song, Love said: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s very difficult to pick a real favourite. I&amp;#039;m proudest of all, though, with &amp;#039;Good Vibrations&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;I think it really says what we are all about. We must have played it somewhere over 7,500 times over the years... If I had a nickel for every... fortunately, I do!&amp;quot; Love is widely reported to have dismissed Wilson&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Good Vibrations&amp;#039; as &amp;quot;avant garde s**t&amp;quot; when he first heard the track in 1967.
