Which band/artist do you not like but accept are/is brilliant? Why?

The right-winger is Mike Love the main frontman, that guy is like the Donald Trump of rock 'n' roll. He's the one still carrying the band name and doing live shows but he's very a despicable guy and I think most Beach Boys fans would agree. He is notorious for holding back the creativeness of the real Beach Boys genius, his cousin main songwriter Brian Wilson, who wanted to explore different things and not keep singing about girls, cars, and surf (he eventually became depressed and seriously mentally ill, but has since recovered!). If you don't like their famous surf songs, try their late 1960's-early 1970's albums like Pet Sounds or Sunflower. The surfer of the band was Dennis Wilson (brother of Brian), and yes, he was the one who was friend with Charles Manson and introduced him to the show-business, which he of course regretted later on, and some say is probably one of the reason he became an alcoholic.

TL;DR: yes one of the Beach Boys is a right-winger who is very unlikeable and one of them knew Charles Manson. And if you don't like their surf songs, try their more mature stuff from the late 1960's-early 1970's.
