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?

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.

 

OP..."I had to go with my partner to see/hear Neil in London" No...you didn't have to go, you did that to yourself...

I agree with quite a few of these like Dylan ( I like a few songs) Bruce S., like someone else said Tori Amos and all those other gals from that era. Rap, country, most females singers period as I'm a 90% instrumental person.
