Prog Band you tried to get in to , but can't.

The new IQ album tbh

While I've been fairly dismissive of some bands and albums, honestly, if I've delved into any one enough and had the right mind-set, I've always found something to appreciate. That said, many bands and styles ultimately are just not really for me even if I can appreciate and enjoy something about them. I don't have patience for working to try to like something (I prefer to let music wash over me), but there have been times that I wanted to feel I understood music I didn't like more.

Sorry, it would be easier for me to name ones that I tried and didn't like much, then later tried and loved. I can tell early on if certain music is likely to ever appeal (there is some music that is anathema to me), but sometimes I try a band again because I feel I might have heard the wrong album or song, and sometimes the right recommendations have changed my feelings towards a band.

I guess when I was really delving into Prog, I did try to get into some stuff such as Transatlantic as I'd bought an album based on a recommendation. Much later I appreciated the band more even if it will never really be my thing. I actually rather think that hearing various melodic rock/ AORish Prog was an impetus for me exploring some of the less commercial music avenues, such as Avant Prog. I needed an antidote, and the more experimental, often dissonant music provided that, but not metal (well, some had metal as an element, but I've always been more of a folkie than a rocker at heart and my first love was classical music)....

 Transatlantic. Vocals aren't to my liking.
