Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

''Pacific Ocean Blue'' is the debut and only studio album by Music/DennisWilson, released in 1977. This album is notable for outselling the most recent albums by Music/TheBeachBoys, and is generally seen as Dennis's overall best. Despite that, the album was seen with indifference (though perhaps this was due to envy) by his band-mates, and was even banned from doing a solo tour to support the album under threat of being kicked out of Music/TheBeachBoys, which devastated Dennis. It's also somewhat of an OneHitWonder, because despite its enormous success he never made another album. He attempted a follow-up with ''Bambu'', but his alcoholism, drug abuse, and complete lack of self-confidence slowed matters down and in December 1983 he unexpectedly died from drowning. The album was barely finished, but two songs from it - "Love Surrounds Me" and "Baby Blue" - ended up appearing on Music/TheBeachBoys' ''L.A. Light Album'' in 1979.
