I'm really into some artists that cite him as a major inspiration and influence. So it baffles me too.

I find with stuff like this it's important to understand the context of when it first came out. Had a neighbor say he didn't get the appeal of the Ramones because a lot of bands sound similar. I told him when the Ramones came out NOBODY sounded like that. Another is David Letterman. By the time he retired he was nothing special but when he first started it was groundbreaking.

Yeah - somebody told me Queen were boring and formulaic. I told them to delete their memory of the last 45/50 years’ music and listen to them again. I’m not a massive fan, but props where props are due.
