That's fair. I notice personally within myself, when, the mainstream tends to favor or hold one artist or group in high regard that I tend to turn away from it rather quickly. 

With a few exceptions. I honestly like Metallica, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Queen, Pink Floyd, etc. 

I don't mind hearing any of them come up on a radio or one of my playlists. I don't like Madonna at all though. I get the appeal then and somewhat now. I don't care for U2 that much anymore. Maybe it's just their ego, more importantly, Bono's. I don't know. 

My Mom was a big fan of hers (Madonna) in the 90's. However, if she had her on the CD player I would tell her to throw Fleetwood Mac on instead. And she quickly obliged because they were better to her anyway. 

I have a soft spot for bands like Blackfoot and Lynrd Skynrd because of my Dad. Yet, I can understand why my wife can't get into it. It's a very distinct sound that you had to have grown up on to get into. It's the same flack I give her when she throws on a Brittney Spears album. Same for Celine Dion or Mariah Carey.

Not my cup of tea. I get it. They're top selling artists, etc. I would rather listen to Janis Joplin, Adele or Tina Turner instead.
