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?
Yeah, draft dodging Brucie should have done a bit more research because Uncle Sam wasn't sending him to kill the yellow man because the Viet Cong were light brown to dark brown skinned (if they were working in the sun in the rice paddies).Lots of city folk are white skinned. I've always seen this lyric as incredibly uninformed and racist and surprised no one has ever called him out on it. | ||

@lordmelton buddy, it's an ironic lyric. It parodies what people said back then about the vietnamese. That's not the speaker talking that's a speaker reflecting what Society says. You really thinks Springsteen would say yellowman? Really? | ||
@fynnegan …..”especially Brother in Arms” No brotherly love with Mark then……. Apparently he didn’t get on with his own brother in the early years. I think he was the bass player and when he asked for some feedback on his playing from the “bandana man” the singer said….dismissively, “play what you like” He parted ways shortly afterwards. That’s the story anyway. Perhaps the song is not true to form with family sibling's within a pop group? | ||
Brothers in Arms Just thought…… The most infamous falling out brothers Oasis….perhaps not enough water to go round?
Now mere “water under the bridge” and those tempting, refreshing….. ££££s or $$$$s or €€€€s ? New concerts anyone?? I wonder if it will last? NOT off topic…..l couldn’t ever enjoy watching Liam doing his John Lennon voice takeoff. | ||

“This thread is quite entertaining, had me LOL.” Thank you for your observation. This thread was designed to be a bit of fun. Not intended purely as a finger pointing opportunity. Has brought out some weird guys on here.
My first discussion has evolved into something l didn’t think possible and has been enjoyable to catch up with each day. I don’t think l could achieve a similar response with another subject ever. Some bizarre posters on here with a few taken down by the moderators…..l would have loved to have read those.
l expect this discussion will ultimately fade away but up to this moment (23,500 views and 565 posts) it has been such a good ride. | ||
Yes sir! Feel free to come up with a zinger like that anytime. Btw I took would've loved to have seen those posts they took down. They should've at least let the producer see them. Amazing how many people don't like Springsteen. I never could stand him and his opinion of my country put it over the top. | ||
You don't like Little Feat and Steely Dan. Two of the most critically acclaimed bands of all time. If you don't like rock I understand but you're a Boss fan with his gay handkerchief hanging out of his ass jeans pocket. Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing and Communique, great albums especially the SACDs. Brothers in Arms - Lost the plot. | ||

The snowflakes and sock-puppets were working overtime. This site seems to be a sock-puppet magnet; check with texas-jerry (aka @jerryg123 ) on that. | ||

Bland Dan would have been a better name for that band. That grade school forced rhyme that I just wrote was about as profound as any of their lyrics ever were. "Ricky was drinking scotch all night long as he drove to his old school." How about that one? The Bland Dan Band could have pumped about three songs worth of boring lyrics into one and made it easier for the classic "rock" stations to play their "greatest hits."

Whoaaaa!! Lord snowflake, you've been at it again getting multiple posts deleted! And all I tried to tell you here
was that Dire Straits never put out an album titled Sultans Of Swing. They had a song that was titled Sultans Of Swing that was on what I believe was their first album which was self titled (in other words, the title of the album was Dire Straits). | ||
. . . I guess I am not allowed to reply to this one, lord snowflake,
as evidently I hurt your dainty little feelings last time. | ||
Sultanas of Swing, Brothers in Arms and all that….. Is this discussion in the mixing bowl for the most posts removed award? A song that “springs” to mind with ridiculous lines matching recent content on here is Lindisfarne’s “Fog on the Tyne” We can swing together, We can have a wee wee, We can have a wet on the wall If someone slips a whisper, That its simple sister, Slap em down and saliver on their smalls

@lhasaguy “For what it’s worth, RAP is not music” Poetry in Motion was a song written about a beautiful woman. “Poetry in motion” describes somebody, or “something” that moves gracefully, Rap can never be described as a graceful language with its delivery, so is not “poetry in motion” My opinion only. Rap by its nature is awkward and unmusical. Talked not sung it is poetry, but the exaggerated antics of the performers do nothing that appears in anyway to look like “poetry in motion” l agree with you. I find it’s rat a tat tat delivery form is so much like a repugnant pneumatic drill by the side of the road. l don’t like listening to it either….the lyrics just rattled off so quickly are sometimes just too hard to follow.

@mylogic , here's another post that apparently offended some delicate snowflake sensibilities: I simply typed "+1, @simao ' in response to his post
In reality, it should have been about +100! | ||
@immatthewj I don't ask the Mods to delete posts. You and anyone else can say whatever you like about be. I am extremely right wing so I don't understand the Snowflake moniker. For some reason I've always called the Dire Straits album "Sultan's of Swing", part of getting old I guess. You probably like ELO along with the Bruce. | ||

+10! Bruce Springsteen and the Vietnam Veterans Of America compared to someone who shall remain nameless who steals from charity

@bottomzone Thank you for posting. You are bringing them up and into the 600 ZONE | ||
@bottomzone interesting. I'm a huge fan of the yellow jackets as well. Dane Alderson is a proficient in musical basis and yet Jimmy really brought a lot of musicality to the group. Without him they really aren't the same band. I still love seeing them live but their recent recordings have been kind of forgettable at best. | ||
. . . I actually enjoy Dire straits (both the group and the self-titled album), and unlike Lord Snowflake, I do know the titles of their albums. And I particularly appreciate the influence that Bruce had on Knopfler. But as far as the regularly scheduled program: Unlike Stinky Little Feat and Bland Dan Band, I won’t say that I cannot listen to them, but even when The Rolling Stones were in "their prime," they were basically a bunch of undertalented overrated tossers. Now they are simply has-beens. Alice Cooper is one that does meet the criteria of something I cannot listen to. | ||
