Bands that you've just somehow, some way never gotten into?

Who are you and what have you done with rockledge?

 

The Who
The Kinks
The Ramones
The Grateful Dead
The Byrds
Genesis
Supertramp

 

Bruce Springsteen
Oasis
Genesis
Syd Barrett
Allman Brothers

 

I never understood the appeal of Queen. From the get-go, I never got into them--didn't like their sound or their persona or their act. I never got how they were able to attract such a devoted following.

I guess I like a couple of their songs, but the sheer scale of The Eagle's popularity always mystified me.

I liked The Police early on. Then I saw them live, and they were quite literally blown away by their opening act, Black Uhuru. I could never take them seriously after that and I can't change the radio fast enough when one of their songs come on ....

 

I'm just going to list all the cases where I agree with you guys:

Zappa (though I have one CD)
Queen
Yes
Depeche Mode
The Cure
Genesis
Black Sabbath
Procol Harum
Cheap Trick
U2
Oasis
Chicago
Blood Sweat & Tears
Jethro Tull
Flaming Lips
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Status Quo
Billy Idol
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Metallica
The Damned
Syd Barrett
Supertramp

 

Queen. I appreciate them but the songs just don't appeal to me.

Ben Harper. I have never found his musicianship or songwriting any more than mediocre and banal.

 

Now I've read it all. Roger Daltrey...whiney????!?

 

The question then begs: do you like anything good?

 

This is how I manage to keep my collection under control.

Oh, and add Ben Harper.

 

Hogan's Heroes.

 

The Clash. I have most of their records and they sound nice, but I've never really gotten into them.

 

LOL @ "of thread of"..

 

Stones and Zep

 

The Smiths

 

Just a little bit.

 

People always tell me I'm going to heart PJ Harvey so I bought all her albums from thrift shops (3 for $5)but I haven't got around to playing them yet.

 

Kiss
Queen
Lou Reed
Oasis
Eagles
Moodies
Zappa
Monkeys
Nirvana
Foo Fighters
Sabbath

 

Except for Kiss and Foo Fighters you're missing out badly

 

Man, this pretty much describes me to a "T". My 'journey' started in the late '70's, and incorporated jazz, reggae, ska, and R&B by the late '80's when rock started getting stale to me, but the last decade and a half has been mostly about 'discovering' things I missed the first time around and exploring 'new' stuff from the '40's, '50's, '60's, and '70's. There's just too much music and never enough time.

 

Honestly, too many to mention. Just think about all the artists out there that you've heard only a few songs from, or possibly none at all.

Sample them as they come in and just hope you find a musical match - that's all we can do.

 

Well, I don't think so and I like most everything else.

 

Elton John

 

I'll go you one further on the Eagles. I actively dislike that band so much. I think they're one of the worst popular bands to come out of the 70s. I hate them so much. When I was young there was a b-side I used to like - Victim of Love, but that was it.

 

Rush....... I liked the music, but I just could not take Geddy Lee's vocals.

 

As said before me, there are plenty of bands that are pretty highly regarded that I've just never gotten into. I see no real reason to pile on with negativity.
