Brian Wilson Presents Smile by Brian Wilson

Back in 1966, Wilson set out to create what he called a "teenage symphony to God." Fresh off the artistic triumph of Pet Sounds and the revolutionary single Good Vibrations, Wilson collaborated with lyricist Van Dyke Parks to craft an ambitious song cycle about American history, spirituality, and the elements themselves. Smile became known as rock's most famous "lost" album before Wilson finally completed it decades later.
