Bands you don’t understand their popularity?

I’ve heard people say Beatles and Led Zeppelin and I thought they were crazy. For me it’s U2. I noticed this with Neil Young with his latest controversy but even though I disagree with him I still appreciate his music. It’s actually the only cd I own because I ordered it thinking it was vinyl. I don’t like any U2 songs.

Good point. Singer sounds like a chick but the band jams.

The Grateful Dead.
That smart-arse kinda country, kinda folk, kinda self-indulgent yack had to have lots of drugs involved to get a following.

If you can't listen to YYZ and understand how people like Rush, I feel sorry for you.

REM

Niel Young
Jim Croce

I've hated The Eagles (long before that horrible movie), Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey all my life. But I understand why they were popular.
Am I being too edgy for you?

For me it's Iron Maiden. I've tried on several occasions to get into them, and I just don't get it. I like a couple of their songs, but don't understand their global appeal.

No, but I'm sure the ladies in your life love it.

I'd say that about 95% of the bands billed on When We Were Young fits this description for me.
