How do I use m7b5 in chord progressions? Any examples outside of jazz?

Like the title says, I’m wondering how to use this chord when writing progressions. Or better yet how to use this chord at all, how would I solo over it or use its notes for melody.

I’ve learned my diatonic chord scales and never see this chord used. The only time I use this is when I play a minor 2-5-1, but apart from that I have no clue what to do with this. I find a full diminished chord to be more useful for creating tension and jumping around the fretboard but can’t help feeling like I’m missing something in my learnings.

Any examples in music outside jazz? I know there is God Only Knows by The Beach Boys but I’m wondering if any other rock or pop artists use this. Any great guitarists that favor this chord? Any modes to bring this chord to life?
