Albums (or Bands) You Are Embarrassed to Admit You Don't Get

 The Beatles.

I like a couple songs, but don't get the huge hype.

I'm always gonna be the guy defending the Beatles here.....Let's play six degrees of separation with the Beatles to see how much they have impacted the music scene still today.

 

So your avatar is the cover of 'Diamond Eyes' by the Deftones...shouldn't be too hard to link the Beatles to Deftones, eh? So Chino Moreno lists one of his biggest influences as The Cure, who can blame him? Robert Smith, lead singer/songwriter for the Cure, has stated that when they started they wanted to be 'the punk Beatles'. Well that was easy! 2 degrees of separation in influence from Deftones to the Beatles. Who knew? I know that won't make you say 'wow I love them now!', but it always interests me how reaching their influence is, on bands you would never think that would have any connection. Also, I wouldn't call them a 'hype' really, that implies it as a fad.
