The mercurial, eccentric Lee oversaw several distinct phases of their career. They first gained notice for a ProtoPunk sound, reaching the ''Billboard'' Top 40 in 1966 with "7 and 7 Is", a song often viewed as a precursor to both PunkRock and HeavyMetal. By their third album, ''Music/ForeverChanges'', they'd shifted into a style that combined PsychedelicRock, FolkMusic and BaroquePop 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 ChristianRock artist, involved with the same church that Music/BobDylan was during his Christian phase) and Lee dismissing everyone else and hiring a new band. By this point Love turned into Lee and whoever else he happened to have with him, with his music moving toward a BluesRock[=/=HardRock direction, and Lee also collaborating a bit with Music/JimiHendrix on the side, but the final album of their original run, 1974's ''Reel to Real'', was just Lee backed by session musicians.

* RevolvingDoorBand: 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=], and bassist Ken Forssi are considered the "classic" lineup.

* GreatestHitsAlbum: 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 Creator/RhinoRecords, 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 ''Music/ForeverChanges'' in sequence (though spread out between the end of disc 1 and the start of disc 2),
