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?

@lordmelton ,

I'm partial to ' Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner' myself.

@thecarpathian  Thank you. Zevon had a great sense of history with Roland and also Veracruz among others.

His rendition of "Back in the High Life Again" completely outclasses Steve Winwood's version. One of my top 5 artists.

'Excitable Boy' and 'Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School', two of my favorites!

Yes two great tracks, "Excitable Boy" is absolutely hilarious if you have a dark sense of humour.

Check out "Carmelita" and "Mohamed's Radio" if you haven't already.

Here's another few bones for you to chew on. I also like Yes, Frank Zappa and Cream.

Clapton's later albums with the exceptions of Layla and Slowhand (hate Wonderful Tonight) are very, very mediocre,

My favourite guitarist is Mick Taylor, check out "Blues from Laurel Canyon".

This is all REAL music, not Boss malarky.
