He is a controversial figure among Beach Boys fans for various reasons: being a member who wanted to take a leading postion in the band, not liking ''Music/PetSounds'' and ''{{Music/Smile}}'', bringing Brian Wilson back on stage even though his mental health was at a low point, wanting The Beach Boys to become a concert machine fueled by nostalgia, making a hostile speech during The Beach Boys' induction into The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, suing Brian for songs he didn't get co-writing credits on, owning the Beach Boys license for touring for himself and being the executive producer and main writer of ''Music/SummerInParadise'', The Beach Boys' most loathed album. Some of those claims were denied or proven wrong by the man himself while others are true yet sometimes exaggerated. Despite The Beach Boys being once affiliated with cult leader UsefulNotes/CharlesManson or manipulative psychiatrist Eugene Landy, Mike still has the reputation of being TheScrappy in the band's history. He is either seen as an iconic rock'n'roll singer (such is the comment Brian made about him) or as someone who was lucky enough to have talented people in his entourage.

Michael Edward Love (born March 15, 1941), famously known as '''Mike Love''', is an American singer/songwriter who remains known for being part of Music/TheBeachBoys as one of its lead singers and lyricists. Contrasting with the falsetto vocals of Music/BrianWilson, his tenor/bass-baritone singing made his voice recognizeable on classic songs such as "Surfin' USA" and "I Get Around".
Before considering a musical career with his three cousins, Mike was expected to take over his father's business in the steel industry. Along with Brian Wilson, he wrote songs which were key elements in the foundation of the californian music scene with themes such as summer, hot-rod and love. He is also known for his stage presence where his banter antics made him the showman of the band. Compared to founding members who have been on and off the band, he is the most consistent Beach Boy and was rarely absent for a live show.
He is a controversial figure among Beach Boys fans for various reasons: being a member who wanted to take a leading postion in the band, not liking Music/PetSounds and {{Music/Smile}}, bringing Brian Wilson back on stage even though his mental health was at a low point, wanting The Beach Boys to become a concert machine fueled by nostalgia, making a hostile speech during The Beach Boys' induction into The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, suing Brian for songs he didn't get co-writing credits on, owning the Beach Boys license for touring for himself and being the executive producer and main writer of ''Music/SummerInParadise'', The Beach Boys' most loathed album. Some of those claims were denied or proven wrong by the man himself while others are true yet sometimes exaggerated. Despite The Beach Boys being once affiliated with cult leader UsefulNotes/CharlesManson or manipulative psychiatrist Eugene Landy, Mike still has the reputation of being TheScrappy in the band's history. He is either seen as an iconic rock'n'roll singer (such is the comment Brian made about him) or as someone who was lucky enough to have talented people in his entourage.

* BeamMeUpScotty: Mike Love's infamous "Don't fuck with the formula" quote has no proof of being said by Mike himself. A Rolling Stones journalist reported in 1971 the tensions between Mike Love and David Anderle during the recording of SMiLE and it is more likely that this quote is just a summary of what Mike thought about the project in general (Anderle himself said that this line was taken out of contest and Brian Wilson testified that he never heard it). Mike denied the quote and argued that The Beach Boys never had a formula to begin with.
* {{UsefulNotes/Meditation}}: Transcendental meditation played a big part in his life, to the point that he organized TM classes along with bandmate Al Jardine. This obsession inspired him to [[Music/MIUAlbum record a Beach Boys album at a meditation center]].

Michael Edward Love (born March 15, 1941), famously known as '''Mike Love''', is an American singer/songwriter who remains known for being part of Music/TheBeachBoys as one of its lead singers and lyricists. Contrasting with the falsetto vocals of Music/BrianWilson, his tenor/bass-baritone singing made his voice recognizeable on classic songs such as "Surfin' USA" and "I Get Around".
Before considering a musical career with his three cousins, Mike was expected to take over his father's business in the steel industry. Along with Brian Wilson, he wrote songs which were key elements in the foundation of the californian music scene with themes such as summer, hot-rod and love. He is also known for his stage presence where his banter antics made him the showman of the band. Compared to founding members who have been on and off the band, he is the most consistent Beach Boy and was rarely absent for a live show.
He is a controversial figure among Beach Boys fans for various reasons: being a member who wanted to take a leading postion in the band, not liking Music/PetSounds and Music/Smile, bringing Brian Wilson back on stage even though his mental health was at a low point, wanting The Beach Boys to become a concert machine fueled by nostalgia, making a hostile speech during The Beach Boys' induction into The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, suing Brian for songs he didn't get co-writing credits on, owning the Beach Boys license for touring for himself and being the executive producer and main writer of ''Music/SummerInParadise'', The Beach Boys' most loathed album. Some of those claims were denied or proven wrong by the man himself while others are true yet sometimes exaggerated. Despite The Beach Boy being once affiliated with cult leader UsefulNotes/CharlesManson or manipulative psychiatrist Eugene Landy, Mike still has the reputation of being TheScrappy in the band's history. He is either seen as an iconic rock'n'roll singer (such is the comment Brian made about him) or as someone who was lucky enough to have talented people in his entourage.
Outside of his work with The Beach Boys, Mike Love has a solo career which is based on his experience and success as a Beach Boy. From the release of his first album ''Looking Back With Love'' from 1981 to 2019's ''12 Sides Of Summer'', he also took part in other projects which involved Beach Boys sidemen (the band Celebration and the duo he formed with [[Music/JanAndDean Dean Torrance]]).

!!His work provides examples of:
* BandOfRelatives: He is the cousin of the three Wilson Brothers (the cover of The Beach Boys album ''Music/SummerDaysAndSummerNights'' is interesting in how it features the band members who are relatives).
** His children are featured on his christmas album ''Reason For The Season'' and his son Christian acompanies him on stage.
* BassoProfundo: The Beach Boy with the lowest register.
* BeamMeUpScotty: Mike Love's infamous "Don't fuck with the formula" quote has no proof of being said by Mike himself. A Rolling Stones journalist reported in 1971 the tensions between Mike Love and David Anderle during the recording of SMiLE and it is more likely that this quote is just a summary of what Mike thought about the project in general (Anderle himself said that this line was taken out of contest and Brian Wilson testified that he never heard it). Mike denied the quote and argued that The Beach Boys never had a formula to begin with.
* {{Biopic}}: Mike has been depicted in three Beach Boys movies. He was portrayed by Casey Sander, Matt Letscher and Jake Abel.
* TheCameo: Mike (and bandmate Bruce Johnston) appeared on the Music/JanAndDean's 1978 biopic "Deadman's Curve" in their own role.
* ChristmasSongs: He played and sang in a christmas special along with [[Music/JanAndDean Dean Torrance]] and recently released the christmas album ''Reason For The Season''.
** Relying on the success of "[[Music/StillCruisin Kokomo]]", he has also released the song "Santa's Goin' To Kokomo".
* [[SiblingRivalry Cousin Rivalry]]: He had moments of tension with Music/DennisWilson, mostly for artistic reasons (which at one point led to an incident at a tarmac and almost caused a split in the band)
* CoverAlbum: Through the nineties, he has released two albums consisting of Beach Boys covers. The 2017 album ''Unleash The Love'' is a double album whose second disc only contains Beach Boys covers.
* CoverVersion: The Beach Boys song "[[Music/BeachBoys1985 Getcha Back]]" has been compared to Music/BruceSpringsteen's "Hungry Heart" in terms of similarity. Mike acknowledged that by covering the song in 2007.
* DolledUpInstallment: In 1998, The ''Salute NASCAR'' album was released. It features Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and David Marks honoring the NASCAR brand by rerecording hot-rod songs of The Beach Boys' early career. However, despite those three Beach Boys presenting the album, it is actually a Mike Love project featuring some members of The Beach Boys touring band.
* LargeHam: Mike's stage presence is notorious for his whacky banters but his personality reached its peak during the nineties.
* LongRunner: The longest serving member of The Beach Boys and he rarely missed a live show outside of health reasons.
* NiceHat: Due to his receding hairline, Mike Love kept wearing hats from the 70s to today, though he is now sporting a cap during any event.
* PimpDuds: an unique look he wore during the mid 70s.
* ProductPlacement: Mike rerecorded the song "Be True To Your School" along with [[Music/JanAndDean Dean Torrance]] and gave the lyrics a beer twist for the promotion of the Budweiser brand.
* OpulentOutfits: He especially sported those in the nineties before settling with a summer-themed hawaiian shirt.
* UsefulNotes/Meditation: Transcendental meditation played a big part in his life, to the point that he organized TM classes along with bandmate Al Jardine. This obsession inspired him to [[Music/MIUAlbum record a Beach Boys album at a meditation center]].
* VocalEvolution: While Mike's voice has always been known for being nasal, it reached a climax during the eighties and nineties. It weathered down after the 2000s.
* {{Workaholic}}: 60 years after The Beach Boys released their first single, he is still touring along with bandmate Bruce Johnston.
* YoungerThanHeLooks: Despite only being in his twenties during the band's most successful period, Mike Love had a receding hairline and a much more mature face than the baby faced Wilson brothers. As such, he looked much older than he actually was (hell, in some pictures he looked like he could've been the Wilson brothers' ''uncle'' rather than their cousin). When he grew his beard out in the late 60s, he could've passed for a man in his early to mid fifties. Once he lost the beard in the 80s, though, he actually looked much younger and has barely aged at all since then.
