I do not understand why people don't like airline food.
@Amok: Good point. Maybe I meant, even more incredibly boring.

So I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but...
Radiohead.
a pack of wolves:
Radiohead got famous for writing downbeat but very catchy rock songs. They then went on to make sure that every album was different enough from their last that they would be seen to be progressing but also similar enough in its approach that their fans would not be disappointed by something totally unfamiliar. They are a massive stadium rock band who have a critical reputation good enough to mean nobody would feel embarrassed about liking something with such mass appeal, as is sometimes the case for some individuals. They appear not to be dicks in interviews which also helps, one of them even volunteers for the Samaritans (I have no idea why I know) which makes him sound like a pretty nice guy. Their liberal politics appear well-meaning and genuine but also not very radical so are unlikely to upset many people.
I think that's the thing with Radiohead, there's nothing there to put people off and they write songs with a mass appeal, often very anthemic. Even people like me who don't really care for their music usually don't dislike them as such. My mum had Amnesiac and when she stuck it on it would just fade into the background, inoffensively.

You see, I think the thing about Radiohead is that you have to get into them at a certain age. There is a critical period for Radiohead like there is for language and the like. If you miss you're time, the odds are against you.
