Which singing artist do you never understand how anyone enjoyed their music?

Question

For me, this would be Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas. I never thought she was a good singer (and that performance at the NBA game proved it), but people seemed to like her solo career.

So, which artist confounds you as to why they had/have a career at all?

The Doors, dumbest crap I ever heard. A lot of the bands in the 70s when I was a kid were shitty. Their whole drug culture persona always seemed dumb to me. People loved that shit and imitated the lifestyle they portrayed too. I lived in a neighborhood that was full of those clowns. I say was because their drug use depopulated them, every last one of them died. I remember the asshole kids in school drawing band logos and constantly talking about every detail of these bands. Every one of them was just too fucking cool. "Look at me I think being a doped up loser is cool" . Ha ha ha, fast forward to the 21st century and I'm looking at all the junk cars from the 70s and 80s these assholes drove. They're all full of dirt , windows broken out sitting up on blocks. And where are they? They're like their machinery, dead and covered up with dirt. So turns out, you weren't cool, your music wasn't cool, and no one remembers you or your stupid cars. The drugs you thought were so great, killed you!

Hmmm…. well, I have a lot of musicians who I’m more like “somewhere out there, there’s somebody, and their favorite act of all time is” [insert weird or just mediocre artist]. In my mind, I’m thinking of REM, haha, who aren’t BAD, but I’m just like “who is the type of person who goes out and buys an REM CD?” (years ago, dating myself, lmao) I can think of groups with worse songs, it’s not that they’re terrible, I even soft-like a few of their songs, maybe aided by a decent measure of nostalgia for the 90s in general. But just the vibe of REM…. who does that match? I guess I’m thinking “theater kids” of a certain era🤣

Anyway, I’m not here to pile on REM, haha. But in terms of more “I just don’t get it….. what’s the appeal?”…. maybe Björk? I’m just like “Is this…Is this a fever dream?”, lmfao

I honestly never gave this idea any thought because if it’s not something I like, then I’m just not the audience for it and I left it alone. I never hated or disliked someone’s music so much that I would openly complain about it with others.

JLo comes to mind. Never understood how people could find her singing as singing or that she had great hit songs.

Music is like gaming, where everyone's experience is personal and unique. 🎵 While I might not personally vibe with certain artists, I appreciate that others find joy in their music. It's similar to how some gamers love intense strategy games, while others are drawn to relaxing simulations. It's all about finding what resonates with you and sharing those passions with others. Let your musical tastes, just like your gaming preferences, reflect what truly makes you happy! 😊

Oh man this list is long. Celine Dion - Just forgettable love ballads. Taylor Swift - Again forgettable melodies and lyrics. Most Metal Bands - A juvenile wall of noise and songs about "scary" stuff, LOL. Abba - I just never got it. Catchy. Made no impression on me. Bon Jovi - Formula rock for a paycheck. Any "Boy Band" - Cringe manufactured groups singing engineered pablum.

Aside from a couple of songs, I don’t understand how anyone can listen to Taylor Swift. Not to hate on her “message” but my ears physically hurt when I bump into one of her songs
