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?

My agreeing on Springsteen is actually my error in the spirit of this thread. 

I can certainly listen to his songs without turning them off. I just don't understand the cult following and mega-stardom. Same with the Grateful Dead.

But that's probably because I wasn't a pot headed, acid popping hippy. 🤔

Neil Diamond

Rod Stewart

Bruce Springsteen 

Bob Dylan

Cringeworthy to me.

Well congratulations! You’ve tapped into the single greatest resource on the internet, which is complaining, by posting a pointless comment that boldly invites complaints. You can rest easy. You’ve achieved something that only 100s of millions other internet users have managed to achieve.

Well, @thecarpathian , as the fans of The Beatles used to say after a hard days night of getting loaded on Nembutal, "We all live in a yellow submarine."  Then, after they slept that off, they would get together and drop acid and sing mindless repetitive choruses of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.   

Symphonic music has always affected me like nails on a chalk board.  I bet they were using Karajan Mahler 6 as a form of torture at Abu Graib.    Prolonged exposure to that nonsense would have broke anyone.
