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?

I'm going to throw in the current whatever genre it is that plays in many stores and restaurants today. I'm talking about the stuff where it's impossible to tell one nerve grating singer from another and they all seem to like singing through a voice warbling synthesizer about nonsense that doesn't seem to even have a theme to it. 

Hi

l’m reading through the nights postings this morning in the UK

Can l say thank you to all who have taken the time and interest in the subject. There have been so many amusing and interesting comments that had me chuckling to myself. My partner wondered what l was up to while having coffee. I had to read some of them out. She even put in her pet hate with some of the music l listen too.

Ennio Morricone and his 60s and 70s experimental horror, thriller, psychedelic, avant-garde style soundtracks. Now l have to agree with her on this point as so much of it can be impenetrable and discordant taken out of context with the films…..an unexpected assault on the ear drums for an unprepared listener.

Not intended as a thumbs down on this artist but a valid point for the uninitiated.

I’m with you on Springsteen. My ex-wife was a YUGE fan of his and dragged me to a show in Munich in ‘82 (?) at the Olympiahalle. About one hour into it I fell asleep.

To this day I’m STILL surprised Roger McGuinn hasn’t sued him over stealing the tune from “Chestnut Mare” to make “Born to Run” after all those other lawsuits won with thinner proof and voir dire juries of tone-deaf public eduction victims it would be a clear win for him.

What’s the point of this question? It’s nothing but an invitation to be negative. If you don’t like someone’s music what’s the point in talking about it?

Congratulations, you have understood the point.

The comments may be negative, but the replies have been pretty positive. This post has just reached the top position in the ‘’Recently Popular’’ menu visible in the UK for Saturday with approaching 1500 views and 100 posts. All this in 30 hours.

This is my first discussion posted so l rest my case for thinking this was an interesting subject for others who wish to add and debate.
