Love is an eclectic Psychedelic Rock and Proto Punk band from Los Angeles. Formed in 1965, they went through numerous configurations over the next few decades, but always with singer/multi-instrumentalist Arthur Lee as the guiding force. They began as one of the first multiracial rock bands, with Lee and lead guitarist Johnny Echols both being African-American, placing them alongside the likes of Sly and the Family Stone, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Sir Douglas Quintet.The mercurial, eccentric Lee oversaw several distinct phases of their career. They first gained notice for a Proto Punk sound, reaching the Billboard Top 40 in 1966 with "7 and 7 Is", a song often viewed as a precursor to both Punk Rock and Heavy Metal. By their third album, Forever Changes, they'd shifted into a style that combined Psychedelic Rock, Folk Music and Baroque Pop influences, a mode that also suited rhythm guitarist and secondary songwriter/vocalist Bryan MacLean. But this incarnation ended after the album's release, with MacLean leaving for a solo career (he eventually became a Christian Rock artist, involved with the same church that Bob Dylan was during his Christian phase) and Lee dismissing everyone else and hiring a new band. Love then shifted into a Blues Rock group, and Lee also did some collaborating with Jimi Hendrix, but the final album of their original run, 1974's Reel to Real, was just Lee backed by session musicians.After a few one-off reunions and attempts at a solo career, Lee reactivated the Love name in The '90s, but also ran into legal trouble, serving a prison sentence from 1996-2001 for negligent discharge of a firearm. In the meantime, Love's 60s music had gained renewed attention and the band had become regarded as a Cult Classic. Lee formed a new edition of Love after his release and performed up until his death from leukemia complications at age 61 in 2006. Three years later, Echols revived Love and they've performed sporadically since.The band was a major influence on many later Punk Rock and Alternative Rock artists, with Forever Changes a constant presence on "greatest albums of all time" lists.

New Sound Album | |
| Love (Band) (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: The melodic and lyrically complex Baroque Pop of 1967's Forever Changes is a major departure from the frantic Garage Rock of "7 and 7 Is." Though Forever Changes is consistently listed as one of the greatest albums of all time, Love rarely revisited that style of music (a notable exception is 1969's "Always See Your Face," which appears on the High Fidelity soundtrack). | |

Revolving Door Band | |
| Love (Band) (Music) / int_5033694a | comment |
Revolving Door Band: Dozens of members have passed through the group, with Arthur Lee as the only constant while he was alive, though the 60s core of Lee, guitarists Johnny Echols and Bryan MacLean, bassist Ken Forssi and drummer Michael Stuart are considered the "classic" lineup. | |

Epic Rocking | |
| Love (Band) (Music) / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: "Revelation", a long jam taking up the entire second side of Da Capo which the band had used in concert to show off their instrumental skills. It was poorly received, and Arthur Lee himself conceded that it was edited too much and unrepresentative of what it sounded like in concert. | |

Greatest Hits Album | |
| Love (Band) (Music) / int_93851bf1 | comment |
Greatest Hits Album: While not really a band that had hit singles, they've had a few notable compilations. 1970's Revisited was the first. Best of Love in 1980 was one of the first major reissue releases for Rhino Records, and Rhino also did the deluxe 2-CD Love Story: 1966-72 in 1996, which is considered an excellent introduction to the band, and interestingly contains the entirety of Forever Changes in sequence (though spread out between the end of disc 1 and the start of disc 2), | |

A Good Name for a Rock Band: They were probably the first band with a singular name (rather than "The [x]") to achieve success. | |

Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion: "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark & Hilldale" accomplishes this by simply dropping words off the end of the line - usually the expected rhyming word will be the first word of the next couplet, eg: | |

Cover Version | |
| Love (Band) (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: They mostly did original material, but they took a stab at "Hey Joe" while it was circulating around the L.A. rock scene (before Jimi Hendrix made it his own), and their first big regional hit in California (and also a moderate success nationally) was a Garage Rock take on "My Little Red Book", written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the soundtrack of What's New Pussycat? and first recorded by Manfred Mann. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Love (Band) (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: "Alone Again Or" has a bright, sunny chorus about how the narrator will always wait patiently for the one he loves, yet he knows that she won't come for him, leaving him to spend the night alone. He goes on to describe his love for people in general, all knowing that he will remain alone. | |
