Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?


For me there is one that has always been top of the list.

Edith Piaf…..l just can’t think of anything worse.

Do not get me wrong and consider my choice is in any way racist….l love to listen to music with songs in any language… Italian, French, Spanish…..

Russian and German can however be extremely demanding, but Edith Piaf (if possible in any language) is a potential harrowing experience.

 

Do any others on here have a similar artist, or artists that can trigger the same physical reaction?

@billstevenson - I had a cat with excellent musical tastes as well. He’d get pissed if I turned it up too loud but he loved to jam if the volume was reasonable. He was also a critic of my feeble guitar playing and could always tell if my guitar was out of tune but as I started to improve he became my #1 fan. I miss Scott - he was such a gentle soul.

The darling of Stereophile critics, Joanna Newsom.  I've tried several times to listen to her but I tap out after 15 seconds.
 

@jdpalmer1 ,

Just popped on and heard a Joanna Newsome song/video for the first time.

Don’t think I lasted 10 seconds.

 

 

Tori Amos. Her depressing, whiny tone gets under my skin real fast. Never bothered to listen long enough, maybe her lyrics are good?
