7/8/2023 0 Comments Good Vibrations by Mike LoveTo each recording, I have assigned a grade that reflects my personal opinion of that track’s quality. Mike Love, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, and David Marks in the studio, probably in 1962 for their first album sessions. While I am partial to the Cash Box Top 100, for this article I have used the Billboard Hot 100 as it was more generous in its rankings to the group’s B-sides than Cash Box. I have also noted each track’s peak position on Billboard’s Hot 100 survey. It consists of songs recorded by the Beach Boys to which Lobe made a contribution, usually as the lyricist. Here is what I am going to say about perennial bad-boy Mike Love’s as a creative member of Beach Boy: read the following list. I can say that in the decades-long love-hate relationship that Mike Love shares with Brian Wilson, I have consistently come in on Wilson’s side in several articles in Goldmine magazine. I have tried to recall anything nasty that I had said about Love in print and came up a blank. In fact, many of his contributions to the group’s artistic and financial success are often overlooked if not intentionally denigrated by critics and historians swayed by his rep. Because of this, he has been unfairly castigated for his role in the Beach Boys. MIKE LOVE OF THE BEACH BOYS has a reputation that has dogged him around for almost fifty-and it’s generally as one of the most unpleasant people in the world of rock & roll music.
