Maybe Smashing Pumpkins for me? Never have gotten into them. Have given it some chances. Given what else I like it shouldn't be far out of left field for me.

Rush and Led Zeppelin. I can tell theyre technically and creatively awesome, i like other stuff from their era, but they just do nothing for me.

Prince. That dude can shred on a guitar, but I'm just not a fan of his music.

I don't know if this was meant to be only for musicians, but the first name that came to my head is Meryl Streep. People obviously think she's a great actress as she has won many awards, but I can't think of a single movie of hers I like.

to be fair a lot of popular singers of the last 10-15 years although there are some that i recognize are talented and don't mind. a few are really talented. those are just the worst imho.

So far the answers have been pretty much rock based so I'll deviate for my first response.

100% of the time when this type of ? arises my immediate thought is Barbara Streisand. In my mind she has zero redeeming qualities. Ugly from snout to tail.

Agree w/several mentioned - Rush (mainly due to Getty), Springsteen, Radiohead, etc.

Most red dirt and TX country. I've been to more of these shows than I've ever needed - REK, Cory Morrow, Pat Green, Cross Canadian Ragweed, etc. THey all have songs I can sing the words to, but I try as I did to "Fake it till you make it" because most of my friends at one time loved the stuff...can't do it other than a handful of songs I can enjoy.

Dio - I love 80's rock and metal but I just cannot get into Dio. I watched his recent documentary hoping to catch a spark. nope. Seems like he was a really great guy but I just can't get into it.

Are Aldean and Chesney talented?

for me, Stapleton tops the country list. Great talent, moves the needle for me never.

I like Stapleton but not near as much as I used to. Just burned out on him.

Neil Young is a good one. I don't think anyone actually likes him but it's cool to say you do. Otherwise I just don't get it. He sucks.

Fair question, I probably wasn't respecting the game. My choices were more like 'popular artists who don't do it for you'.

Neil Young and Bob Dylan are great but I understand if people don't like them. They don't have classically gifted vocals which can be off-putting. I'm also a big fan of Tom Waits.

For me Dave Matthews Band is probably #1 on my list. I've seen them live a couple of times and was bored to tears. I'm not a huge Springsteen fan either but I think I'd enjoy the live show if I ever see him.

Springsteen.
The mumbling ranch hand persona just grates on me.

Try the River Wild sometime if you haven't seen it. I think that one is pretty good and she is the lead.

I can get there with Streep at least on the talent side, but I get the not liking her films part. I do not understand why Jennifer Lopez is even famous. Why is she both a recording artist and an actress? Why would a person buy a Jennifer Lopez album or single? Why would a person watch one of her movies? I don't understand. This has been a societal issue for just about 25 years now and I do not understand.

Rage Against the Machine. I liked them when I was young but now I find them unbearable to listen to. I prefer maybe "Strongly Worded Letter Against the Machine" in my old age.

I am a horrible person for forgetting Neil Young. I can use his voice to strip paint.
