Dick Dale and The Beach Boys are different genres. I love that you know and like Dale, but I don’t see much of a Beach Boys/Dale crossover.

It certainly isn’t Pet Sounds. Brian Wilson is a god in the indie/psychedelic music scene. Animal Collective, Panda Bear owe their sound to Brian Wilson.

Curious, what Beach Boys album was influenced by Dale?

Dick Dale and the Beach Boys style of guitar play is virtually identical. At least the early Dick Dale is very similar.

Too eclectic to have a fav; E Clapton does most. Slide Warren or Sonny. Acoustic R Thompson or mark Knopfler.

I almost feel sorry for Stevie's brother, trying to keep up with his little bro. LOL

One that I would bet hasn't been mentioned and if you'd seen him live, you would mention him.... Ernie Isley.

Shocked you didn't have the Greatest/Master listed at all. Very sad he died so young. Amazingly he was so good that he WAS recognized.

Jack White (of the White Stripes) covers Dick Dale's Nitro as his intros into Let's Shake Hands.
