We would like to hear your memories of Brian Wilson – whether you met him, or appreciated his work as a musician

The Beach Boys musician, songwriter and producer, Brian Wilson, has died aged 82.

As the leading creative force in the Beach Boys, Wilson crafted a variously carefree and melancholy sound that came to define the uncertain utopianism of mid-century California. The Beach Boys’ 1966 album Pet Sounds – written and produced almost entirely by Wilson – is seen not only as the group’s masterpiece, but for many is the greatest album of all time.
