It took Anniversary really long to grow on me. Like, half a year or so. I had no problems with such kinky tracks as Lucky You or Pink Cellphone though.
The intro to Moana sounded somehow corny and generic at first, but now I totally dig it.
And I can't seem to ever like Lovers, Night Boat, Ghosts, If Only We Could Sleep Tonight (that sitar fucks it up), No Ordinary Love.
Keeping in mind that these last songs you said are covers, maybe some of the "Gore" album like "Xenon", or the SNW's "Rapture".
Probably "Mein" off SNW or "Moana" off S/T album.
Mein, Moana, Lucky You, Phantom Bride, Goon Squad, This Place Is Death.
Those are songs I consistently skip over if they pop up.
Everysong on Around the Fur....sorry...i dont connect with any of them
now im not saying they are bad, no they are great, i just cant connect with them
There are some songs that I just never really connected with and constantly skip. They're not terrible songs, I suppose, I just could never get into them.

Teenager
Anniversary
You've Seen the Butcher

Really? Have u ever seen any of the atf songs live? To me they are my favorite with white pony. I feel like those are their most solid live songs during a show. But that's me..
Almost all of KNY
The majority of Gore. There are a ton of Deftones songs I originally didn't like but they each clicked at some point and now some of them are favorites of mine.

Its probably because most of the songs on ATF are about girls...with a few exceptions of course
I aint really into girls like most men are.
I dont see whats so great about Knife Prty either...just kinda...repetitive...yes i can here you scream, you're a girl, you can scream like that...i...dont get the big deal is all.
Its a good song.....just not the best of white Pony
None for me. Easy access, baby. Easy access.
Hexagram. I really did not understand it the first few times I heard it. Just sounded like noise to me. Now it's in my top ten Deftones songs.
Anything that sounds lazy, like something they've rehashed, or just an artistic misstep. Basically large swaths of S/T and Gore with a song or two here and there on pretty much every other album.
Hexagram was; also Good Morning beatiful still is, I like the song but is for me the weakest song from S/T and maybe one of the weakest from their catalogue.
Agree about Good Morning Beautiful, it's not great.

Second this. Maybe my least favorite Deftones song
But the bridge of GMB is one of the album's best moments
Sextape, Deathblow, all of Adrenaline except for Engine No. 9 and probably a couple others, all of Gore except Doomed User and Geometric Headdress, This Place Is Death, What Happened to You?, Entombed, 976-EVIL, Beware, Graphic Nature, and saving the worst for last...Pink Cellphone.
Lol Jesus. Do you even like this band bro?

What Happened
Deftones, all of Gore = Shite music
Not an accessibility problem, I like the track, but Root is my least favourite on Adrenaline, seems to be a top 3 for so many. No skips though.
ATF - nothing really, it took me a while to really love Dai The Flu though. I always liked it but recently (within the past year) I'd say it's one of the best tracks. No skips.
Pony - Whilst I used to rate them very highly, I tend to skip RX Queen, Street Carp and Teenager and head straight to Knife Prty if I'm attentively listening to Pony. They're not bad but they're just not wild, especially the latter two, so I rarely listen to them. I associate Pony with wanting to listen to some near futuristic sleek shit, and those three just aren't on the level of say, Feiticeira, Bath or Korea, where I do get that feeling the strongest.
S/T is fucking god tier and I skip nothing. Though I could see how people would say GMB. I actually took a very long time to appreciate Bloody Cape and Moana like the rest, but I love them equally now. Bloody Cape, it's the intro/verse guitars. It's the most... swashbuckling rhythm they've ever written. I just don't like it, heavy riff is fucking great but that verse shit sounds like some serious sailing music - like they wrote the riff to literally SOUND like the lyrcs. Moana was just a bit too shoegaze for me initially, after everything that preceeded it on the album, it felt like it should have ended on a more personal note. Especially right after Anniversary. No skips.
I still hate SNW for being the escapist shit that it is. It's easier to list what I would listen to - HITE, Beware, Waves, Xerces, Rats, Riviere, and even then I only really love Xerces and Riviere. I would have preferred Waves to sound more like the demo with clearer vox and Beware the live version that circled long before the album dropped. This just isn't a Deftones album to me. They just tried so hard to be anyone else. Really disappointing given that S/T was about embracing their vulnerabilities or at least being too caught up in them to lie about it.
Diamond Eyes I skip DE, Prince, Sextape. DE is like if they were some poppier shittier metal band, Prince just ain't a nice melody, and Sextape, I get it, it's Deftones so it's cool but it still sounds a bit too cockrock for my liking.
Koi - I only really skip Leathers (don't enjoy the high notes, similar to Kim Dracula) though I do love the bridge leading up to the ending, and Graphic Nature.
Gore - Geometric Headdress. Just not a nice melody, which is compounded by the timing signature. Xenon also has a really dull chorus and Phantom Bride is SNW-level identity loss, hate it.

My thoughts on the majority of these posts tbh
For me, I can really only think of one song that is universally disliked by even the purest Deftones Stans.... Pink Cellphone.
Also, Mein. Good song on it's own, but a severe waste of Serj Tankian if you think about it. Dude only has one line the entire song.
I also really don't understand the hate Gore is getting . I guess people will just hate on anything that's new.
I'd say S/T is their least accessible. I used to hate the record, thought it was way too repetitive and homogeneous. I even remember thinking "Why did they include Moana, sounds like a rehash of Battle-axe and Good Morning Beautiful". It took me a few years and some personal experiences to really embrace the vibe of the record and understand what it was about.
Pretty sure that's why so many people hate it. It has to hit you personally, otherwise it sounds just weird and lazy.

I can relate to this. Took me ages to really get the S/T album but it seemed really disjointed to me at that time. Even with White Pony it took some listens.
ATF was really accessible to me, which usually means I get fed up with it quickly. However, it was the soundtrack to a great time in my life and I guess that's why it stuck past that honeymoon period (nostalgia perhaps). When WP and S/T came out, I'd moved on a bit and it was only a couple years later I revisited them to fully appreciate those albums.
Rubicon and Pink Cellphone = MedÃocre.
Rubicon is fucking worshipped by everyone. I'm more of a Geometric Headdress kinda guy .
Yeah, Rubicon is pretty good, but I don't get the love for it. It's not even in my top 5 on Gore.
Everybody but me. Geometric Headdress, No k.
