Now I'm just ambivalent about all of that because he does have some really great compositions.

I'm actually rather grateful that I dislike Wagner's music to start with, so I don't feel unjust in calling him a blemish on the history of music lol.
But at the same time...well, ya know I don't think Charles Manson's music is horrible. Some of what I've heard has some really neat vocal textures and guitar rhythms. Still, I don't own an album or have his music on my computer because, well, he's Charles ****ing Manson and I can only imagine the social backlash I'd get if someone found out.
