'Come on Eileen' by Dexy's Midnight Runners makes me feel physically sick, with its faux-gyppo stylings
and Kevin Rowland's whiny, fliddish voice.

What do you have an irrational hatred of? Lists of perfectly rational hatreds or 'Bono/Piers Morgan. Nuff said' type posts will get you nothing other than a one-way train journey into a Polish forest IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

Everyone round here knows someone who knows one of them. On their 2008 reunion tour I joined the 800-strong guest list to see them at the Ricoh Arena (my friend's dad is the guitarist), but it still left me cold.
I particularly used to hate going to shit student nights in shit nightclubs where, when the shit DJ put on a Specials record, everyone in the building would start doing that stupid jogging on the spot dance (see also: Madness).

Of course taste is subjective
That was why I said it is perfectly reasonable to not like them. But any rational stylistic analysis of much of their output would show there was good reason for them to be rated highly. And that is without taking into account their subsequent influence.
As for the music you listen to, unless you only listen to music that pre-dates the Beatles, it exists in a post-Beatles world and will more than likely have an influence traceable back to them.

There was one hell of a lot of good music before the Beatles, their 1st 2 or 3 albums were mostly covers of it

Maybe not all
some of their later stuff was more interesting. I think the problem, if there is one, is that people confuse social significance with musical ability. They have the former in spades, but musically they were nothing too special and looked at to day, there's not reason you should listen to them in preference to genuine musical geniuses such as, say, The Clash.
