I'm shocked by some of the mentions in here.
Maybe, maybe it is the definition of "never got into" ??
i.e. The Rolling Stones - I never got into them BUT I respect and like a lot in the catalogue - I just cannot listen to more than a couple songs back to back before needing a break. Do the Stones make it to my "never got into" list even though I like many songs?
It is a vague definition. If you like many songs from a band, I doubt they should fall into the category. I like the entire 'Long Run' album by the Eagles but despise the rest of their catalog so they probably dont belong on the list.
Out of the ones I posted -
Springsteen - I like one song he's ever done (Trapped and its a live tune) and hate everything else. When I hear or see him he just reminds me of somebody trying to sing thats super constipated.
CCR - Same as above with Fogertys voice. I like 'Sweet Hitchhiker' and thats about it from them. I guess I can tolerate them, but I just dont like them.
ZZ Top - Cant do them. Everything sounds too much the same and they give me heartburn when I hear them if thats even possible.
Aerosmith - Hate Tylers whiny voice and they are a band that just never did anything that impressed me. The older I get, the more I dislike them. I used to like 'Kings and Queens' because I felt I needed to like at least something from them, but I really cant do that song anymore either.
Van Halen - I like songs from them so they probably dont belong on this list. Lets just say a little of them goes a long way.
AC/DC - I'll never understand the appeal. A band thats made a living releasing the same album over and over again. Three and four chord songs that any high school garage band can duplicate with a singer thats constantly screaming at you. No thanks.
Bob Seger - I've actually left bars and parties because people have put him on. I'll send sexist here, but I always felt Seger was milquetoast rock and roll that only girls could like. I can tolerate one song and its actually two tunes put together - live version of 'Beautiful Loser/Travelin Man and thats it.
