What bands don't you "get"?

This isn't meant as a derogatory question, and I hope the thread doesn't deteriorate at some point, but I'm curious as to what bands you folks just "don't get".

For example, I'm not a huge U2 fan (picking a band that has recently released an album), but I can certainly understand their appeal.

For me, the #1 band in the "I just don't get it" category is Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Seriously...I worked at a classic rock station for 3 years or so, and it seemed that LS comprised approximately 25% of the playlist...but that's neither here nor there. I really tried to like them, and I was exposed to their music almost constantly. I guess they're not my cup of tea or whatever, but "I just don't get it".

Keep in mind that I don't want anyone to try to explain why they think LS is great, or why I should give them a chance. I'll never like them, end of story. I just want to know who you "don't get". :thmbsp:

I hear what you are saying. It's like people asking me why I don't like apple pie when I tell them that cooked apple literally makes me vomit.


Kiss. Alice Cooper. Metallica. LS is definately in there. CCR too I reckon.
Most Metal. Most 'Dub' music. Lots of techno and that really, really stupid pop music that seems to infest the charts these days.
 
there are so many bands I think are over-rated, but what I don't get is why they are popular. I "get" the band, just don't think their talents warrant the attention.
I have repeated this quote from H. L. Menken before
"No one ever went broke under-estimating the tastes of the American public"
 
I get all bands, as long as they sound good.

The music I like spans genre's. But there is defiantly a good sound, and a bad sound too me.

I generally prefer music with natural acoustic instruments.

A lot of bands I "get", but "can't stand".
The bands I don't get were/are rap, grunge or metal (speed, death, heavy, etc.).
EDIT: Forgot to add Nickelback.

Seconded.

Yeah, they had a couple hits, yeah they used some cool tape effects, and yeah, some of their solo stuff is pretty cool, but I don't get why everyone likes them so much.
