"they deservedly went into oblivion"

In the late 60s?
I don't think so.
Between the live album in the early 70s and Holland, if nothing else, they were still pretty popular.
In fact I believe they probably played to more people after 1970 than before as their popularity was rekindled under the more conservative climate as the baby boomers reached...mmm... comfortable maturity, and as with American Graffiti, could openly enjoy their heritage.
On the other hand, Brian Wilson's credibility has maintained through the years and when he finally toured the re-considered Smile album it was a huge success both on disc and as a ticket seller.
Love was of course the complete toss-pot of the band, not just conservative in politics but a man fantastically obsessed with turning himself into a mindless conveyor belt of teen pap. One wonders about his tastes in women...
