Obviously, we're not talking about any mass marketed crap like Backstreet Boys or anything like that. Rather, we are talking about bands that are very popular amongst people of, well, a crowd like us, that you just don't get.
For me, there are two biggies for this.
Nirvana. I mean, I've listened to some Nirvana, and they're... well, OK. The band plays well, but there's something in Kurt's singing style that just doesn't click, and overall it just doesn't quite register why the band's so popular. Maybe it's because in upper elementary school I knew this one guy who was a total Nirvana fan, and he also was quite an arsehole.
Ramones. Yes, I know, they defined punk, yaddayaddayadda. Whatever. There are, AFAIK, two good Ramones songs, one of which is "I Wanna Be Sedated" and other is "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg". Others... blech.
So, what are your bands-that-everyone-loves-but-you?
