...or understood. I'm not saying these particular people don't have talent. I just don't understand their popularity and/or mass following. I'll start

U2
The Talking Heads
Prince
George Michael
Madonna
Any rap/hip hop act

I'm sure I'll add more but this is a good start.

Alice in Chains
Radiohead

I love so much music from whatever genre you place these in, but I mostly can't get over the singing.

To fully understand and appreciate where you’re coming from I would need to see a list of the groups you did/do “get”.

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. I have never understood the critical & fan obsession over them. I just don't get it.

The Grateful Dead. They're not terrible - I like a few of their songs - but they're just so, so, milquetoast for a band that is supposed to be the ultimate psychedelic rock experience.

The Clash. They're not terrible - "Train in Vain" is an ok song - but they're just so, so milquetoast for a band that is supposed to be one of the most important punk groups of all time. Are they even punk? Maybe I need to listen to some of their early stuff but their hits are about as "punk" as Tom Jones.

Pearl Jam. I like a song or two here and there, but mostly I do not care for their output.
