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

@bzawa 

@immatthewj That's Springsteen? That's quite good. Is it from Jungle Land? 

The lyrics are the opening verse of Thunder Road, from the same lp as Jungleland.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I have a slightly different take on Springsteen than I’ve seen represented in this discussion. If you didn’t see the E St. band perform before 1976, it may be hard to believe that they were among the most vital bands in rock ‘n’ roll at the time. They were stunning.

While I don’t listen much to them anymore, I think the first three Springsteen albums reveal genuine songwriting talent. After that, I feel Springsteen lost his muse. There are the occasional gems scattered among his songs of the last 50 years, but I’m not inclined to search them out.

Forgot to add Crosby Stills & Nash. Epitomizes much of what dislike most in popular music.

Reviewing this thread over the nine days.

May l thank all the members on here for taking an interest in this, my first posting on  Audiogon.

7444 views and 347 postings in racking up a near 5% response rate which is way above the normal ‘posting’ averages. Those who contributed pushed the post to the top section of the charts.

Many replies have been straight lists but some have been very comical, analytical, bizarre and entertaining. Although my original idea for this subject was to ask if anyone had  a physical negative reaction to artists and their music, it became a top discussion point for other reasons too. A sense of banter and light hearted ribbing unintentionally added to the fun element for the neutral reader.

The only negative l can draw was for one particular artist that was mentioned continually and was more prevalent than any others…..poor old Bruce (followed by the runner up, Bob) No need for surnames…….

The post will probably be confined to Audiogon history in a few days, but many thanks from myself to all those who have taken time out viewing and commenting.
