He's one of those artists I would sort of pretend to like in conversation.
I mean, I won't for one minute not acknowledge that he's good, important and iconic, but I really don't get him myself. Something must be wrong with me.
I felt the need to admit to it. No idea why.

It's no big deal
I don't like the Beatles myself, I think they were shit. But I realise that they had a huge influence on a lot of people and really made a huge difference in the music scene.
For that reason, I can't really diss them, and have tried to get them loads but at the end of the day I still have the same opinion.
A lot of this kind of thing is about a willingness to appreciate the difference they made to the music scene. One way or another, somehow it affects the musicians that you do like and somehow shapes their output.
So I don't worry about it, try to embrace their views and widen my scope.
Doesn't always work out, but hey...worth a shot... I only have something to gain from it.
