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?

@simao “Christmas songs”

Congratulations simeo. You have just made the 500th post.

In the UK, ALL the old Christmas songs get played to death at that time….every year. A custom of sorts. Who said nostalgia isn’t what it used to be?

Seriously though, l believe that the nostalgia question was an ironic joke at heart.

 
Yes Slade’s Christmas song will always be up there with the “Band Aid” and Wham numbers, and not forgetting old Bing, and Bing and David. Us Brits are gluttons for punishment over the “Atlantic Sea” as it was called in the musical “Hair”

Manchester England England

Across the Atlantic Sea….. 



Those were the hairy days…..

 

Speaking of Slade, first discovered them 1972, "Slayed" album, loved the vibe of the band, none of my friends thought much of them. Slade didn't do particularly well here in US, sometimes US doesn't get certain Brit bands. Love the Christmas song, watch the videos repeatedly during the season, we didn't hear this back in day.

You are relying on Google AI too much. You don't know the entire story.

military classification of unfit for military service, and as it applied to Bruce it was because he failed the physical.

He failed not because of any 'physical' problem. He acted crazy and appeared to have mental problems. All a phony act.

Freehold did have the rug factory go out due to competition from Imports. They were forced to close. Bruce made THEM into the bad guys. As if they closed the factory just to hurt the local workers. It was a logical business decision they HAD to do. This happens everywhere not just Freehold. 

It also was his Fathers decision to work there in the first place. He wasn't forced to go there. Bruce NEVER worked there.

However, that was just a small blip and Freehold  continued to grow with 1000's of jobs in the area. Today it's better than ever including the second largest mall in the state. But Bruce focused his negativity toward ONE isolated Rug factory. The fact remains...he grew up in a nice area that got even nicer. He or his father could have worked in numerous other places. 

Bruce is a Billionaire but he is not completely self made. Let's give some credit to the record company that picked him up off the street and marketed him to great success.

He has always been negative toward the country that gave him so much.
