Lastly, quite staggeringly considering the music I listen to...Iron Maiden. I do like about a dozen tracks and I've tried many times over the years to become a proper 'fan' but I just lose interest every single time.
I can't get into metal at all, either, I just can't take it seriously.
There are quite a few records I've bought because I know they're classic albums, but I can't seem to get into them: Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On, John Martyn's Solid Air, Gene Clark's White Light, the first Velvet Underground album, Endtroducing by DJ Shadow, etc.
The Doors
Muse
The Smiths (I fucking hate his voice)
Don Broco (see above)
Anything with Pete Doherty in it
The Strokes (see above)
Steve Vai (don't even know what the band is called)
The Pixies (should be right up my street. Even went to see them live but meh....)
The Mission (went to see them too but left 1/2 way through!)
Radiohead
Muse
Mastodon
Don't like any of them.
Most of all - Hogarth era Marillion. I really have tried (I have 7 albums!). Loved Fish era ....
Led Zeppelin.
Rolling Stones.
Just don't get it..
I love both but arguably:
Zep swings and rocks, amazing riffage and drummer, decent singer
Floyd has two droll singers and many droll songs that neither rock nor swing.
As for Pearl Jam, I have no interest in the early albums. Vitalogy, No Code and Binaural are fantastic.
Re Radiohead; I have an easier time understanding why people dont get them. They are ultimately an art rock band that happened to get extremely successful. By comparison I wouldn't expect many people to enjoy Grizzly Bear either.
i like what I like, anything else is meh.
I'm not a huge fan of those vast great Russian piano pieces but you could never describe them as meh.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
I lodged for a short time with a girl who thought Van the Man was the greatest thing. Apparently, her dad was a bass player who had a terminal diagnosis, he was a big Van fan. Anyhow, long story short, her mum got in touch with Van and told the story, mentioning an up coming, and fairly emotional, birthday date.
Van not only sent them tickets for a show, he arranged for his bass to be brought along and got them both up on stage, signed the guitar and gave him a real fan experience on his last birthday with his family.
She cried every time Van was mentioned in conversation. And she had the signed bass on her wall for posterity.
I started to like the guy after I heard all that.
Fast forward a few years and I started to listen to him again, this time I get it. So now I'm a convert, brilliant soulful musician and a top bloke by all accounts.
Try 'Too Late to Stop..' the double live album.
Bands I can't get into? R.E.M, sorry.
