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?

“With God on Our Side” Bob Dylan

Reference my previous post tonight.

When comparing the original lyrics from 1963 to the later Manfred Man version you can see two verses dropped. The first… The Spanish-American War/The Civil War section. The other that included, “l learnt to hate the Russians all through my whole life. If another war comes, it’s them we must fight”

Heavier stuff with some foreboding and maybe prophesy. Manfred Mann did change a few minor lines like “The country l come from is called the Midwest” for a more recognised term (in Europe) “The country l come from is part of the free west”

Bob laid it down the way he saw it in those Cold War times. It looks like he had the same view on Russians as General George S Patton who said that of them, at the end of WW2.

Bob was more political than l thought.

Stop slagging off Little Feat!

They are one of the best bands ever but my affection is limited to the Lowell George recordings, although their first album leaves much to be desired.

Everything from Sailing Shoes to Down on the Farm are A+ albums.

If you're not getting it your system is shite.

Little Feat aka Stinky Feat.  Thye better the system is the worse they sound.  They should have quit when they were ahead.  Which was never.
