Is Holland a Top 10 Beach Boys Album?!

When I ranked the Top 10 Beach Boys albums, fans told me I left one out — "Holland" (1973). In this follow-up deep dive, I explore why so many consider "Holland" a Top 10 Beach Boys album. From the soulful “Sail On Sailor” to the three-part California Saga and Brian Wilson's oddball bonus fairytale, "Holland" shows the Beach Boys far from California, recording in a mobile studio set up in the Netherlands. I also look at how Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar, both from apartheid-era South Africa, reshaped the band’s sound, and why this album is one of their most adventurous. Was I wrong to leave it off the list? Watch to see why "Holland" deserves more recognition — and join the debate.
