Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

@larsman ”His son is doing music these days”

Yes (no not YES) Oliver cut his teeth with the older “Strawbs” lineups encouraged by his father who never lost contact with the group responsible for launching him into the public eye.
 

Dave Cousins, the lead singer noticed in 1971 that (Rick) “Our keyboard player was being eyed up by “Yes” members offstage” at a concert they were co-billed with. I heard it straight from the horses mouth. Rick was poached from The Strawbs with a better pay deal before their next album, “From the Witchwood” entered the LP charts. I believe he was already committed to leave even before he appeared on BBC’s “Top of the Pops” promoting the LP on the then, “new album” slot.

Difficult one that.. a son following in his fathers footsteps/key twiddling finger steps. The dinosaur on your back?

@jsalerno277  This may interest you

@mylogic Thank you.   I did not know the Strawbs backstory in the ‘70s.  I researched the backstory about two years ago after the Strawbs popped up in the  “similar artists” column on Qubuz when playing Journey.  The notes told the back story and an internet search filled in more detail.  Thanks for the tip on Oliver.  I am playing Anam Cara now to get a flavor of the younger Wakeman.  His composition and keyboard work appears to have dad’s grandeur.

Do more people hate certain recording artists than fans who actually love them 

You cannot know that. I don't care too much  as I know that many things that I like most of the other people do not like, and not only issues related to the music

@niodari And so good, you said it twice.

l have done that by accident too.

I totally agree with you, and it is good to hear your feedback and what others may think.👍

For me personally, l like some of the weirder avant-garde psychedelic samples of Ennio Morricone’s soundtracks. For most people that proves to be too hard a listen and they say that the music is impenetrable, irritating, or just plain unlistenable.
