Artists / Bands that are obviously / probably good but you can't get into them on 18:35 - Apr 13 by Radlett_blue
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.
Just for starters, these bands attitudes suck, deadly dull,cringeworrthy because of their massive egos; jumping on the MOR bandwagon, wanna be adored, ever so earnest, pretence at being geezers, Happy Easter to:
Arctic Monkeys Oasis ( I hope they reform so we can tear them a new one each) U2 (Jeez) Arcade Fire (apart from that hit) Queen Red Hot Chilli Peppers ( Socks on cocks - really) Duran Duran (apart from Rio) Stereophonics (how) Pavement (apart from, well nothing)

Arcade Fire pretence at being geezers and massive egos? That's a very odd shout.
My music taste is dominated by 80s post punk and goth bands (The Chameleons, Fields of the Nephilim, The Cure, New Model Army), moving to early 90s indie/alternative (Levellers, Placebo, Radiohead) and then into 00/10s Post Rock (Mogwai, Oh Hiroshima, God is an Astronaut).
The genesis of this type of music is much more Floyd and Zeppelin rather than Beatles and Stones - yet I just can't get into either of them.
For example, give me the bootleg live version of Comfortably Numb by Sisters of Mercy any day over the Floyd original.

A bit more contemporary, though still hardly current.......
The Strokes White Stripes
Some individual tracks are OK, but never listened to a whole album and not lost interest. I prefer some of Jack White's other stuff, and actually the music he has supported and promoted over the years.

I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

We can at least thank the White Stripes for giving us a stadium song for the new millennium. Someone had to replace Gary Glitter after all the unpleasantness.

Totally agree - not a fan of the White Stripes generally, but Seven Nation Army is one of the best bass riffs ever committed to vinyl.

For me it's Pink Floyd and Led Zep.

Anyone can cover a tune though, not everyone can compose it.

Very few improve on the original though - and that's my point - I know I should like Floyd's original of Comfortably Numb, most people say it's a modern classic, I don't dislike it, but I far prefer the cover.

I sort of disagree to be fair, music is subjective and there is many a cover that I prefer to the original.
Get by with a little help from my friends by Cocker is a classic example.
I actually quite like The Scissor Sisters version of Comfortably Numb

U2 - they're just cold. It's supposed to be emotive rock ballads and that, yet it never sounds as if they really mean it, and when they strive to do this, it sounds cheesier than Facters fridge
Elvis Presley - You've heard him warbling one, you've heard the lot. Even the early stuff.
Coldplay - One adequate album and him singing in that weird nasal British/Yank accent.
Nirvana - proof that death makes one a deity, even when the produce doesn't match (see Morrison and The Doors)
Fatboy Slim - processed dance musak.
Oasis - Meh. Preferred Blur, and that's not saying much.
