How should we think about Spherical Harmonics?

Physically unacceptable solutions for the QM angular equation

In a spherically symmetric central potential why do we look for eigenfunctions of the angular momentum operator?

Why are circular unit vectors often defined as $\hat{\mathbf e}_\pm = \mp (\hat{\mathbf e}_x \pm i \hat{\mathbf e}_y)/\sqrt{2}$

How to calculate the angular momentum states of isotropic quantum harmonic oscillator?

Regular solution vs irregular solution

Plotting the CMB power spectrum - Why $C_\ell \ell (\ell+1)$ rather than only $C_\ell$?

Is every harmonic polynomial a linear combination of these?
