Something fitting has been surprisingly hard to find.
At first I actually thought that TWOD was exactly what I was looking for but ultimately it didn't work out.
I came to really enjoy Dire Straits during my quest, so it's not like I can't stand a bit of bland.

I find TWOD to be quite similar to Dire Straits, or the few songs I know by them anyway, so strange that this didn't click for you, but so it goes...
I listened to these guys a lot while flying and it is quite a special experience.
What about My morning jacket - Z for some chill "summery" rock music?

Either way, I appreciate the rec.

I had more than a few bands which required a few listens before I got into them. Usually I get hooked by a song and check out the album a few times. If it still doesn't work, no use trying (although there were also a few examples where I didn't really take to an album and later fell in love with it). It depends on many factors I guess!
