There are none so blind as those who wont see
What bands that are really popular and indeed good but could never quite click with you?

I have a couple that I just don't find interesting whilst the rest of the world really seem to love 'em

Dire Straits and the Eagles.... just don't float my boat at all.... in fact they torpedo it BELOW the water line... any advances?

Have loved the Eagles music ever since I first heard them in the 70s ... Dire Straits aren't bad, but I can't say they really interest me all that much if I'm honest ...... I've never really liked Queens music, although i did once buy their album, Sheer Heart Attack, back in the early 70s, which turned out to be the only Queen record that i ever bought ....... am no fan of U2 either, dreary music, most of which has me yawning, or sends me to sleep ... its like listening to the wife droning on about shopping, or what goes on at her job!

Bananarama - shite, can't even harmonise
Depeche Mode - should have Dignitas phone number on all their material
Pet Shop Boys - piss-poor journo who can't hold a note
Chris de Burgh - wtaf?
Presley - the most overhyped talentless shite to walk god's earth - and a fkn thief
Poxy Music - wank wank wank
Kiss - pyrotechnic smoke and mirrors

that's just for starters...

You forgot to list Wham
 
Coldplay, apart from their debut album Parachutes (2000)
Parachutes is brilliant…2nd is good, 3rd ok but definite downward trajectory.

These probably won’t go down well in here….

James…just don’t get it, and yer man is just naff

Joy division and new order….i just don’t think they’re any good at playing their instruments, but they manage to put a bunch of songs together. Blue Monday aside, it’s incredible
 
Radiohead
REM (Orange Crush excepted)
Muse
Pulp

and a few other less popular ones that I won’t bother to mention.
 
Guns & Roses are the main one. Can't stand them.

Also not keen on the Eagles. And I can give or take a good portion of ELO's output.
 
Most classic albums are 4 good songs and loads of filler tbh. But when you’ve paid all that money and only have one record, you have to convince yourself that the whole thing is great.
