Artists you love despite having ideologically nothing in common with them?

Rage Against the Machine is a huge example of this. I don't share their political ideology at all but I'll be damn if soke of their songs aren't absolute bangers. I love Killing in the Name Of and Wake Up, even if I don't necessarily agree with their message.

Some black metal bands and musicians are obviously neo nazis or far right, but they generally keep that stuff out of their music except if they are NSBM bands. Those I don't listen to. Varg Vikernes is an idiot and a complete nutjob but some of Burzum's stuff is good, and his ideology doesn't spread into his music since it's mostly instrumental anyway.

What about you?
