This is typically categorized as Folk Rock rather than Sunshine Pop - but I don't know why it can't be both.
I think it's godlike.

I was buying a lot of this stuff as it came out, especially the Association, whose finest moments were, in my opinion, their more rocked out, druggy tracks - Along Comes Mary and Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies come to mind – but without the cut-off with hindsight, saw them not so much as a new trend/genre as a continuation of white doo-wop and high-school pop (such as The Fleetwoods) of the late 1950s/early 1960s, with a more sophisticated use of studios and arrangements: hit singles by the Murmaids (Popsicles and Icicles) and Robin Ward (Dream Boy, In His Car) as well as some Beach Boys B-sides, among others specially featured the blissed-out sound, sweet vocals/harmonies and interesting instrumentation/production (they don't really belong in this thread, but if you're interested in that sort of thing, try the Jaynette's Sally Go round the roses or the Galens' Baby I do Love You, with Glen Campbell on musical saw), but the daddy of them for me from 1962 was one from the other side of the meterological tracks. It was everywhere when I was a kid, but it occurs to me that some of you youngsters may well not have heard it, so here we go.
Although the guys are shown with their instruments there, this wonderful sound features the Wrecking Crew; Hal Blaine on drums, Carol Kaye on bass, Glen Campbell on guitar, god on thunder.

Would the Turtles be considered sunshine pop?
I've seen where they get thrown in there.
