The legendary Beach Boys album that was never completed is called "Smile".

Smile was intended to be the follow-up to their critically acclaimed album "Pet Sounds", which is often regarded as one of the greatest albums in the history of popular music. The Beach Boys, led by the creative genius Brian Wilson, were known for their innovative and intricate harmonies, and Pet Sounds showcased their musical brilliance.

However, Smile was a project that proved to be too ambitious and complex even for Wilson. The album was intended to be a concept album, with interconnected songs and themes that explored various aspects of American culture. Wilson envisioned Smile as a "teenage symphony to God", but the recording process was fraught with difficulties and creative differences within the band.

Despite recording numerous tracks and spending countless hours in the studio, the Beach Boys were unable to complete the album to their satisfaction. The pressure to deliver a worthy successor to Pet Sounds, combined with Wilson's own mental health struggles, ultimately led to the project's abandonment.

However, the legend of Smile has endured over the years. Bootleg recordings of some of the songs have circulated among fans, and the fragments that were released showcased the band's innovative and experimental approach to music. The unfinished album became a symbol of Wilson's artistic vision and the creative heights the Beach Boys could reach.

In 2004, Brian Wilson finally released a completed version of Smile, with the help of his band and other musicians. The album received critical acclaim and was hailed as a masterpiece, showcasing Wilson's genius and the groundbreaking nature of the original project.

Today, Smile is considered a legendary lost album, representing the Beach Boys' artistic ambition and the challenges they faced in bringing their vision to life. It serves as a testament to the band's enduring legacy and their contribution to the evolution of popular music.
