Bands you can't get into

I like ELP far more than Dream Theater's original stuff.

Take A Pebble; Still, You Turn me On; From the Beginning; I love them all. I am firmly in the LOVE Tarkus camp. But yeah, Emerson was the weakest link for sure.

I also LOVE Rush. Especially the early stuff through Signals. I always thought The Trees was sort of clever. Basically shines the light on the fact that many human conflicts are over stupid stuff we can't control. At least that's what I got out of it. I will concede the Geddy voice CAN grate on the nerves sometimes. But overall a fantastic band.

My contribution to the actual question would be:

Gentle Giant, although I don't DIS like them, they just seemed kind of blah to me. I did recently see an awesome video of a live performance of them, and it makes me think I need to revisit the band now.

Another might be Hawkwind? I like a few songs but most of the stuff I've heard didn't do much for me. I still respect the trail they were blazing, but I could take em or leave em.
