Oh no its not just you, I have a similar response to both Steely Dan and James Taylor. I also don't get, and get annoyed by The Greatful Dead. With The Dead I have a similar response to what John Lydon once said about Crass, 'Its okay, but why is there so bloody much of it ?'. The Dead go on, and on, and on, and on with seemingly no point to my ears anyroad. I'd also put Zappa in to that 'why so much of it, and why so similar ?' tray too. Okay, the first few Zappa albums are um... fine I suppose but then there are too many tunes where 'la la la we say this.. and a short pause... to go down low to say that.. and go back up.. and 8 bar solo in a different time signature.. and 1-2 bars of silence.. then go back to la de..' fucking hell why ?
Also.. Leonard Cohen, Scandinavian Death Metal and Four Tet.
