As Wilson's mental health deteriorated, his involvement with the Beach Boys reduced, and the group instead released follow-up records that were less ambitious and largely ignored by critics. "The Beach Boys Love You" (1977) saw Wilson's brief reemergence as the band's principal songwriter and singer, becoming a spiritual successor to "Pet Sounds". Asked where somebody should begin with the band's discography, Wilson said, "They should listen to "Pet Sounds" first, and then listen to "The Beach Boys Love You"." In 1988, Wilson released his first solo album, "Brian Wilson", which was an attempt to recapture the sensibilities of "Pet Sounds"; co-producer Russ Titelman touted the album as "Pet Sounds '88". It included "Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long", a sequel to "Caroline, No".
