Not liking a band and not getting them are two different things though are they not?

I don't like Depeche Mode but I get why people do.I don't like almost all dance music I've heard but I get why people enjoy it.

On the other hand, I don't get why any one would want to listen to UB40. They're just shite.

Yeah this is true. They are different things.

I don't get why people like Stone Roses - they genuinely bore the pants off me. The thing I most don't get about them is that people whose opinion I otherwise respect with regards to music seem to go nuts over them.

I do however get why people don't like The National, even though they're one of my favourite bands.

On the subject of Depeche Mode, I'm a casual fan at most but I saw them on Tuesday and they were bloody brilliant. I now totally get why people love them so much. Atmosphere was insane - but it was full of fans so still not sure it would translate to the Pyramid. Not that that's relevant any more by the sounds of it.

to be fair, there isn't much i don't 'get'. even the bands i dislike, i understand why people do like them. any band i don't particularly 'get' is just an act i haven't given the time to

or instance, Grizzly Bear have been a band i've tried to get into numerous times, and despite a few songs jumping out at me, their albums, as a whole, puzzle me. but i totally get why others would enjoy them, and i'm still holding out hope that they'll click with me one day because the songs i do like are fantastic
