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?

@immatthewj “Two different animals”

Everyone to there own vices. I was just seeing the REO Speedwagon funny side and hope others “get” my odd sense of humour.

l will say from some perspective on the two different “animals” and from personal experience. At lot of mental health problems in the UK are linked to humans becoming animals after partaking in excessive “recreational hobbies”

Sometimes people just dismiss it and laugh it off, but with my own family incident, there is one less person in it now.

@immatthewj 

No suggestion from me your motives were any other way.

Now back on topic again (my fault)

What is so irritating about REO Speedwagon?

@mylogic    A Philadelphia R&B group called The Top Notes originally recorded Twist and Shout in 1961. It was a hit for The Isley Brothers in 1962. This was the version that the Beatles emulated in 1963. In this case, emulate is a euphemism for murder. Don't ask a question if you don't want people to answer.  

@aewarren ”Don’t ask a question….”

Far from it l do want answers. I love to learn from an informed answer. No problemo.

In truth you caught me ever so much out and you are entitled to say The Beatles murdered the song. You also proved my theory right. They covered another artists song. Eureka moment for me, thank you ever so.

lt was probably after Twist and Shout The Beatles started to write more of there own songs and certainly post Rubber Soul. So many Lennon McCartney songs and consecutive number ones (8 l believe in the UK until Ticket to Ride) make people believe they wrote everything themselves. I fell into this trap too, hands up. 

Thanks again for proving my hypotheses was right.
