I used to feel the exact same way about them. After giving them a lot of chances, though, melodies that came across as annoying to me the first few times suddenly seemed welcome and I found their music to have some pretty interesting texture to it. Weird thing. It's very rare that I give a band I despise a lot of chances either, but it worked with Beefheart, so I guess good things happen sometimes.
I can definitely understand where yr coming from, though. Even if I like them now, a lot of their stuff indeed does lack soul.
