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?

Yep… Industrial music is not pop music.

l think in your case you may call it that as pop music sounds mechanical and because of its repetitive rhythms? Clockwork timing and consistent beat orientation can sound mechanical.

The definition of “Industrial music” is a genre of music that draws on harsh mechanical, transgressive, or provocative sounds.

In my understanding sounding like some avant-garde experimental music. Examples that come to mind would be the soundtracks Ennio Morricone composed for Italian horror/crime/physiological movies in the 60s and 70s. Some people have called this period of the composers writings impenetrable…..an unnerving and irritating listen. A part of this recoding artists output that some just can’t listen to.

Little Feat (past and present) is hard on the ears.  "Music" to induce vomiting.

Pretty much anything Rap or Hip Hop - I have no interest in developing an appreciation to the genre - and I will proudly add Bruce S to that list as of this week. I have developed an appreciation for most anything else (at least in small doses). If you want to write and perform a song, Go for it, but the Editorial crap is not what I pay $200 - $500 for. STAY in YOUR LANE. 

Thanks for your detailed explanations...

I feel a bit ignorant in this music field...

 

 it seems i dislike most POP music repetitive patterns and i dislike the deliberate effects search from most Industrial music....

 I prefer Josquin Des Prez and i bet most dont even know the name of the composer all Europe mourn the death...
