Universally acclaimed art/artists...that just don't do it for you
For me: Bob Dylan.
I just don't get it, no matter how hard I've tried. Sure, the lyrics are interesting, but except for a handful of songs, they mostly bore me musically.
And although I will listen to a few of his songs if they happen to come on the radio, I have never willingly put on a Bob Dylan song or album.

Seriously, what is this crap?
I've seen better art on the walls of a middle school hallway.

What are yours?
Honest question: What era do you consider late career Floyd?
Post-Barrett? Post-Waters?
I like all Pink Floyd, but early has a special place in my heart. Umma Gumma was the goto dope smoking album when I was a Freshman in college. I didn't do it that much but if I did Umma Gumma was usually spinning.
Echoes is amazing, but I like all Floyd
I don't like Sinatra either, but assume that it is my damaged hearing that makes his stuff sound monotonous.
I don't think Sinatra is a good singer. The only songs I really like of his are High Hopes and It was a Very Good Year, and that's because his voice suits them, not because he sings them really well.
Listen to In the Wee Small Hours and tell me Sinatra isn't great. Then listen to Dylan's Time Out of Mind. You'll be ready to tear your heart out.
The only thing I don't like about Sinatra was his idiotic way of adding to or messing with the lyrics. Cole Porter walked out on him for changing a lyric in one of his songs.
But I guess this thread is about artists you don't get, not you think are overrated.
I don't get Casavettes.

My grandmother had a Sinatra concert on VHS, and during "I Get a Kick Out of You," when he sang the title line, he did a little kick. She went crazy every time. For her, it was like Elvis shaking his hips.
No, I definitely think Sinatra is tremendously overrated.
apparently my fingertips don't smell enough like poker chips or garlic to fully appreciate frank sinatra
play a couple hundred hours of fallout and you'll love sinatra
GTFO you ignoramus.
The act of being 'Baffled' as a insulation to ignorance is an ineffectual intellectual perspective.
I was meaning to write a response to this outrageous and uncalled-for slur. It was going to be pithy and to the point, touching on the subjective nature of art appreciation and defending my right to dislike neo-expressionism in general and Basquiat in particular.
Then I saw where some tech-bro paid over $6million dollar$ for a banana duct-taped to a wall. The tech-bro has purchased the right to reproduce, in perpetuity, a single copy of the work, and to call that copy an original. This is a necessary compromise because of the organic nature of the work leading to inevitable spoilage.
At the moment I read that I realized that I am, in fact, entirely ignorant about the art world, (and cannot in clear conscience refute the claim that I am an ignoramus,) because the conclusion I drew from this was that the tech-bro was dealing with a CONceptual artist.
I reached this conclusion without considering that people who have made a career out of knowing about these things believe the Banana duct-taped to wall thing is actually a masterwork of conceptual art.
Personally I think the tech-bro pranked, (or Punked might be a better word,) because not only was he separated from his $6million dollar$, he is also now committed to duct taping a banana to the wall for the rest of his life and has even committed future generations to do the same. This is just one man's opinion.

This just means your opinion actually counts.
Well this has just won the Turner Prize.

Mick Jagger is also bloody awful, but Morrissey takes the prize for the worst singer in a great band.
many would say Geddy Lee
but not me
Morrissey is the absolute worst
I think he's great. Nonetheless, isolated AC/DC vocals are hilarious.
Don't know if it's universally acclaimed, but the song Werewolves of London is an immediate turn the channel on the radio for me. Really dislike it.
Jingle bell rock... I mean it's not a bad song, but it is like a pot roast that's been left in the oven way to long.

pretty sure the first time i heard that song was while watching the color of money
man i knew right then not to act fast or heady and confuse the forest whitaker ability with tom cruise
