    Louis Philippe has often displayed a noticeable Beach Boys/Brian Wilson influence in his music.

    The Beach Boys had probably hundreds of imitators from 1963-65; here's a couple of the better ones:
    Bruce & Terry - Summer Means Fun

    It should be noted that the "Bruce" in Bruce & Terry is Bruce Johnston, who in the following year of that tune's release would actually become a Beach Boy.

    I always rely hat 10cc's debut album had a strong, albeit twisted, Beach Boys influence. Especially Rubber Bullets and Sand In My Face.

    Wondermints - Tracey Hide (they could play beach boys-like music very well before they were Brian's back up band)
