Queen. Some of the hits are okay but I've never felt the urge to buy an album.
Michael Jackson. If he comes on the radio then I turn it off.
Bob Dylan. his voice just grates in my ears.
Leonard Cohen - see Bob Dylan
The Rolling Stones. Really tried but just do not like them.

Re: I Tried So hard Bands you've tried to get, but just don't
I’m a big Rush fan. It’s not just the music. Neil Peart’s lyrics are sometimes very profound. Three incredible musicians including a first-class lyricist.BillyBones wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 7:55 pm I feel I should like Rush as bands of their ilk and vintage take up a lot of my music collection, but no matter how many times I've tried over many years they still leave me cold.

I get the Queen one. I was in a UK wide tribute band for a number of years and it really beat out of me the already minuscule amount of interest I had. A rock pantomime.Fretless wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 8:29 pm Queen. Some of the hits are okay but I've never felt the urge to buy an album.

I never tried to like Queen - why would anyone want to cross Status Quo with opera?

Slade were great.
When I was 7.
But not as good as The Partridge Family.

Re: I Tried So hard Bands you've tried to get, but just don't
My tastes are wide and varied. But it is an eye-opener to look at which artists I've been avoiding through the years:
Rod Stewart
John Lennon (post Beatles)
Creedence
Grateful Dead
Judas Priest
Sex Pistols
Elvis
Elvis Costello (post Attractions)
Could turn out to be a long list ....
