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?

“After reading this thread l’m going to look for some Edith Piaf CDs to buy”

 

11 days later……

Just wondering if you did (brave man uprising) what you threatened to do and actually go down that long and winding road?

lf you have bought some CDs…..did you later require any medical assistance?

….this gem of an LP

 

l have learnt something tonight. Did not realise she vocalised in English. Apparently it was a peculiarity that Edith dropped a lot of the tongue warbling rrrrr’s in English. Plus the songs were a little less furiously rattled off.

Maybe l will have no regrets if trying to listen in English?

 

Didn’t Neil Diamond also sing a song with “no regrets” in the lyrics?

 

NOOO, it was Waylon Jennings …….and a few others.

Just went to YouTube to hear Edith Piaf.

She sounds not unlike an operatic munchkin.
