Also a huge fan of the Beach Boys, and of psychedelic pop in various forms, and I remember feeling much the same way when I listened to The High Llamas.

Grizzly Bear are another example of this for me. There's nothing I dislike about them, they have some very good songs, and have obvious things in common with a lot of music I do like, but I've just never quite warmed to them.

This experience has become more common with age, alas... There's a lot of "new" music that I quite like but could never get excited about the way I might have done in my teens & twenties
