I didn't include U2 as they actually aren't any good

The OP said 'obviously/pretty good'. The Smiths are comfortably out of that category.

Mainly because I have a mental block on them as Grohl was part of Nirvana - and I couldn’t stand the dirge they churned out. Of a different genre, any Jay Z etc

All the stuff that isn't (a) nicked from old blues artists without attribution; or (b) about Mordor or other hobbity nonsense is OK.

It isn't your fault.

Was listening to a compilation of them the other week. 'Stairway To Heaven' is one of the dullest pieces of music, ever. Conversely, the ten-and-a-half minutes of 'Achilles' Last Stand' absolutely fly by.

On the metal front for me it is Mastodon. Everyone raves but I just don't get it at all. Love Megadeth though, at least Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction anyway.

Queen. Well sort of. For every decent tune there is an absolute turd, really cheesy rubbish. Foo Fighters after the first 2 albums, such dadrock, many bland. Should caveat Springsteen with the point that Dancing in the Dark is a certified banger. [Post edited 13 Apr 2020 16:48]

Maybe I might get them in ten years' time. It took me till I was nearly 30 to 'get' Slayer and another 10 for Death/Extreme metal.

Not sure the Killers fit this as they are just pure toss rather than obviously/probably good. The Stone Roses and Oasis for me. Just find them both very dull.

Maybe they are, or they're not to your taste? Which music & bands one likes is a very personal thing. When I was 20 a friend who was into the usual Stones/JJ Cale/Dylan thing derided me for liking the Undertones, but impossible to compare such different sounds. [Post edited 13 Apr 2020 18:37]
