^^ I’ve tried with Dream Theater too. Their musicianship is impressive but I don’t find their music memorable and I don’t like the vocals.

The Cure though I admit there is one song I hear on Satellite radio sometimes that I like. I can’t remember the name of it though.

Nirvana

I did like Smells Like Teen Spirit and I guess a couple other songs on that album were ok but anything else by them I thought was god awful. Even when they covered the Meat Puppets who I really like.

some bands/artists I gave up on:

genesis • after 'the lamb lies down on broadway'
peter gabriel • after his 4th
radiohead • after 'ok computer'
bruce springsteen • after 'born to run'
yes • after 'tales from topographic oceans'
fleetwood mac • after the peter green years
pink floyd • after 'wish you were here' ('animals' and 'the wall' had their moments, though...)

a couple of bands I never could stand at all, to begin with:

u2 • one of the most overrated bands ever. (and the edge is the worst guitar player to ever have walked on the planet earth)
rush • same as u2

and, I'm sure I can think of more examples later...

Mostly the middle of the road stuff...bands may be superb, but they're superbly playing the predictable, formula, middle of the road stuff

Springsteen
Allman Brothers (superb band though)
Eagles
Foreigner

I gotta go with Journey and Bon Jovie too
