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?

 but they produced some Hella catchy tunes thatre still anthemic 40 years later. 

@simao  that may be the reason that going back in time I truly enjoyed cranking it up and listening to them.  And as I typed a few posts ago, despite some of my baiting and judgmental previous posts, taste in music and many other things is personal and subjective, and although I like what I like and don't like what I don't like, I totally understand that what is right or wrong for me is not automatically right or wrong for anyone else.

If i love something i can ponder and probe without end the multiple reasons for my ecstasy or love...

I can even write poetry about the music i love...

 

If i dislike music or someone or worst if i hate it or him, i cannot even begin to think one second about my object hate or dislike or rejection and their causes...

 

It is normal to dislike some music or persons...

The problem is hate makes us more stupid than we are...

And makes us unable to discover sometimes the real reason behind our hate of some music or person...

 

It is why i entertain no grudges and i tried to be fair with the music i did not like much...

 

 But nobody is perfect  and i really dont like some music...And those who persist in hate...I like reason, and music full of creative and spiritual meanings...

but the pleasure of one is the hell of another...

 

One of my friend was a jail advisor for the inmates...

We discussed a lot...

And i asked to him  what  music will create an immediate riot in jail ?

He said a Mozart opera...

@immatthewj   How ridiculous. Heck, even Bruce admits he dodged the draft. LOL 

Go ask your best friend, Google... here's the answer... "Yes, Bruce Springsteen was a "stone-cold draft dodger" who avoided the Vietnam War draft. He admitted to using various tactics to avoid military service, including claiming to be high on LSD and exhibiting erratic behavior during his induction physical."

But immatthew doesn't like THAT answer so he wants to ignore the facts and change the definition. 

FYI ... Just so you know, yes, I was there. I joined. I went. So don't tell me I don't know what a draft dodger is and don't make stupid attempts at changing the definition. 

 

 

By the way i dont want to derail this thread but i just discover a new jazz pianist i like very much...

I even ordered his book...His name is Randy Weston...

Sorry i dont like to spoke about what i dislike...i am not perfect it seems i dislike really some music style...cool

But rejoice! There is certainly some people who dislike me or Randy Weston who will explain why, then the thread will recuperate his speed...

@mylogic , this is off the track of your OP, but kind of pertains to me trying to describe why I do not like the music I do not like.

Anyway, back in the '90s and through some of the '00s my dad would come a couple of thousand miles to visit us for Thanksgiving.  Before he retired in '87 he was an art teacher and it was not just a job for a paycheck for him--he truly appreciated art. A true appreciation. (Go figure how the son of immigrants and who served in the Navy near the end of WW2 and worked for the railroad in Montana in the '40s while attending college would be an artsy guy, because I can't.)  Anyway, I have almost zero appreciation for art beyond 'that picture is kind of pretty,' but seeing as how there is a world class museum near where we now live, I'd always take him there each time he visited, and he told me that it had some of the best art galleries he'd ever checked out.  I would have preferred to look at Dinasaur bones or classic airplanes and stuff like that, but he would spend all day in the different galleries practically studying the exhibits.  I remember once there was an exhibit of some Dutch guy (not Van Gough) he felt really privileged to have seen and I also remember he enjoyed looking at the Jackson Pollack stuff, and honestly it did nothing for me, so I generally kicked back and checked out eye candy.  I will say that I had to appreciate some of the stuff that came out of, I think, the Renascence period--the minute incredible detail they put into those huge paintings must have taken forever.   Regardless, I just could not understand what made most of that stuff art worthy.  

I remember once there was an Andy Warhol exhibit we were looking at, and it included a case of tomato soup, and on that I guess I started badgering him and wouldn't let up.  Basically:  "What makes that art and why would they put it in a museum and why would anyone go out of their way to a museum to look at it?"

He expressed annoyance or irritation or frustration with me, but he could not answer my question.  Although I am sure that there is an answer.  But he couldn't explain it.
