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

@mylogic ....and, in the end....

the love and hate your share...with your friends.... ;)

I’ll put this forum in my "Personally, The Better Ones’ " site file; mentioned earlier, it deserved being on a Brit Hit List.  Even if only a source of cathartic leeching, it’s been and hopefully not burn out....

Nothing like cheap therapy for the masses.
Anytime a counterperson asks "Anything else?"

Yeah, money and therapy.  But if I have the former I won’t need the latter...                  

...stalls ’em nearly every time.... ’face blanks out’...but everyone agrees. *S* ;)

Anyway....

I don’t like everything, but I don’t  hate anything in general, either.  There’s the onehitwonders that stick in ones’ head, something that one trips over and later did that Better....’shuffle-dance’ shorts with a good backing track are just fun, makes you want to dance well beneath your years into some semblance of fitness or fits...

Lyrics that hook into a corner of the mind, riffs that ripple, beats that drive the heart a bit faster.....all too brief escapes from the daily fear ’n loathing...

Music as an escape hatch to a preferable plane...
Sometimes noticing a glitch that made it to the cutter are amusing....i.e. at 2:05~2:06...  Sometimes one can just excuse using ’fame’ to make a better buck for the time.... it’s a commercial enterprise after all, friend @erik_squires, and fame is fleet of foot.... a movie on the inside of your forehead...a one man stand of a sad tale of bittersweet.....’roaring forties’, indeed....👍👏

Music as a mural for one’s ears...if you don’t like one view, there’s near limitless others to indulge.....or just go for a laugh...even if cheap...because this wasn’t. *L*

Indulge your own version of ’drain bamage’...

Cheers, J

The Moldy Peaches. Saw them open for The Strokes. I was truly amazed. It was the first time I heard an artist that had absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
They were so completely awful I bought one of their albums out of sheer curiosity. Horrific.
Artists that get hate (Bieber, Bolton, Nickelback, Mitch Miller, One Direction, etc.) I at least understand why their target audience loves them. The only audience for The Moldy Peaches is talentless NYC art school music-haters trying to be "clever".

@hickamore Jonathan Livingston Seagull - the height of my mother's Neil Diamond phase which scarred my pre teen ears mightily.  

May as well add old Neil to the can't listen to list.

Just heard Michael Franks on my favorite streaming station this morning -  his breathy lisp is tough to take too.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

Poor old Neil. I had to go with my partner to see/hear Neil in London. It was one of his last concerts before retiring on medical grounds. The voice was still pretty good to be honest and he did a full two hour set without a break.

What did impress was his attention to detail as he covered music from his entire career. I thought he would leave out difficult songs that he may not have still been able to sing as well. What did surprise me was the three song medley with some very impressive back projection to the music of the above film soundtrack. For me, and not being a real fan, it was the main thing l remember from the night.

l know my post is about “what artists you can’t stand listening too”, but hearing Neil ‘live’ did improve my respect for the performer, and his music.
Has anyone else reversed an imbedded opinion of an artist after attending a live performance?

Ace was the worst live band I've ever seen or heard. Kind of a one hit wonder but they were terrible live.
