	Surf is a uniquely American genre, but I wouldn't put the Beach Boys at the forefront of the movement.<br />
	<br />
	The best surf bands were instrumental, anyway. Most of the surf vocal groups tended to lean on those kleen-kut "barbershop" harmonies too much for my liking...not just the Beach Boys, but the Hondells and Rip Chords, as well (to name two).</div></blockquote>

	The Australians might be a bit put off by this "uniquely American genre" stuff, but no question surf started in the US.<br />

	It wasn't just the barbershop harmonies that were too much for me, but also those horrific matching clothes.  It wasn't just the fact that the clothes matched, but how lame the clothes were.
