If Mike was not in the Beach Boys they still would have been one of the greatest bands ever. Dennis matured in the late 60's and he carried the Beach Boys in the early '70s. Carl became the stable force in concert early and there was just too much talent.
Brian was a musical genious and the early records he he wrote with Tony Asher and Roger Christian would have developed even more in a writing relationship and I am sure Brian would have had planty of writers helping him pen lyrics to his awesome musical symphonies.
Don't Worry Baby had no Mike Love influence and was the turning point away from the Car/Surf records. Mike penned some great songs with Brian but the songs always had the music with Brian writing all of them the lyrics may have been a little different without Mike but much success would have happened either way

Although I am a Dennis lady, it does no good to hate Mike because it gives him attention and if you hate him why would you want to draw attention to him. If you hate him, ignore him. Simple as that.
