}} ''That's Why God Made the Radio'' is the twenty-ninth studio album by American rock band The Beach Boys, released on June 5, 2012 on Capitol. Produced by Brian Wilson, the album was recorded to coincide with the band's 50th anniversary. It is their first album to feature original material since ''Summer in Paradise'' in 1992,〔(Beach Boys website )〕 their first album to feature guitarist and backing vocalist David Marks since ''Little Deuce Coupe'' in 1963, their first album since the 1998 death of co-founder Carl Wilson, and their fourth since the 1983 death of co-founder Dennis Wilson. Preceded by the single "That's Why God Made the Radio", the album reached number 3 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and was their highest charting studio album of new material since 1965, placing them second all-time with longest span of top 10 albums at 49 years (The Beatles would tie that record with ''On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2'' the following year). Frank Sinatra holds the record at 52 years of top 10 albums. ==Background== Jim Peterik has said that the album's title came from a comment made by Brian in response to Peterik's description of an AM radio broadcast filtering through a car's oval speaker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-ragogna/shades-of-blue-tiger-eyes_b_5859226.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment )〕 According to record producer Joe Thomas, Brian Wilson circa 2008 or 2010 inquired to him about demo tapes recorded during the sessions for Wilson's 1998 solo album ''Imagination'' which Thomas co-produced: "He called up and said I've got some ideas for some new Beach Boys songs, and I said, That’s great, and I pointed out to him that when we worked together several years ago he had the genesis of some other Beach Boy songs that he had never really wanted to put on any of his solo records. That he had isolated specifically for the Beach Boys. So he asked me to compile those and it was more than a few." The two proceeded to meet with Mike Love in Palm Springs, who then agreed to a collaboration.〔 In the late 2000s, reports began to circulate that the surviving members of the Beach Boys would reunite for a 50th Anniversary tour and album. Despite some uncertainty〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beach Boys plan anniversary blowout, likely reunion tour )〕 and initial denials, on December 16, 2011 it was announced that Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks would reunite for a new album and The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour. The studio reunion was kicked off by a remake of the band's 1968 single, "Do It Again", recorded earlier that May. The next day, the group recorded the album's opening track, "Think About the Days". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「That's Why God Made the Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
