Anything post The Jam by Paul Weller.
The Who. The odd song is amazing. I Can't Explain and Substitute are fantastic. But there is so much shite to wade through.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

There's also one Radiohead song I love - Fake Plastic Trees (also a cover we did) and one I like a bit (Street Spirit) but the rest… I really tried, but I just can't stand them even after owning their first four albums (The Bends twice) and listening to one more.
And I like Bjork .

Prince ...... I don't get it ........ amazing guitarist ? where ?
IMHO he wasn't especially awesome on that front (could rattle of a pentatonic solo with great panache though), just - the prolific songwriting, dancing, multi-instrumentalism, ridiculous work ethic, mentoring of other acts and the badass groove to be admired !
Somebody had to call it, and I agree. Probably something to do with being force fed Tommy at school by trendy art/music teachers.
Feedback
I worry about this all the time.....
I can NOT listen to any of that Guthrie, Vai, Bonamassa virtuoso stuff..... but I am ok with that.
More concerning perhaps is the other stuff I've never been able to get into....
Bob Dylan.
The Smiths.
The Who (though they did have some tidy get ups in their mod phase)
U2
Rush
Muse
Queen (same thing)
Daft Punk
Bruce Springsteen
Van Morrison
And now for some truly shocking stuff that I have never truly loved but is widely revered -
Jeff Buckley
Love
The Bryds!!!!
Not liking Metal and Jazz - I am totally fine with, that's just a sign of intelligence.

Had to teach a lot of stuff from the above artists in my time, so I own a fair few albums, but none of them really do anything for me. I don't really see anything wrong with that though.
Of those I've seen Springsteen, Clapton and Nirvana live. Springsteen was the only decent one. Quite enjoyed the show. Actually I find that even if I don't like the music, if an artist puts a lot into their show, then I can still enjoy it. Springsteen very much in that category. nirvana were awful, but Clapton gets my vote for worst live act I've ever seen. He just looked liked he'd rather be anywhere else. Total boredom.
I worked in a record shop when I left college and one of the other blokes went through a Who stage, where he listened to them non stop. All of their stuff.
Songs like Boris the Spider are just shit.

David Bowie.
Some individually great songs, for sure, but never managed to get into a full album or into him in general
but not the awful nu metal band one. All the ones before that I know are great though.
Post-Syd Barrett Pink Floyd.
I have tried, really, but I just don't get it. I don't get the adulation, I find them really dull.
