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?

I went to see Tommy Bolin and was blown away even in the crappy venue, they whole band was incredibly good yet nobody was paying attention to them. They were the warmup for a new band called Rush. As soon as Rush came up on stage almost everyone went nuts over them and they were simply awful, so bad I had to get out of there as soon as I could.

The worst concert I ever heard, maybe they got  better over time but I sure did not waste my time finding out. Later years when I would hear them I would turn it off, walk away, etc.

My comment about country and the rest of pop means all of it, all acts but there are some good singers and musicians trapped in horrible contracts forced to produce such drivel, I feel sorry for them. Most older pop is terrible as well but some was kind of fun way back in the day and some enjoyable still.

All the screech bands as well and the growling hate the world crap, not even sure what it is called. 

OK, only listed one name so far...OK, got it, Barry Manilow.

Y'all may not like Bruce's singing, but the quality of his recordings is beyond reproach. Joe Cocker on the other hand...

Hey guys, I was obviously speaking figuratively when I posted about today's female jazz singers carrying Ella's, Peggys and Doris Days jock strap. Well, it was obvious to most of you.  

Also, I genuinely feel bad for anyone that says that they don't like the Beatles.

They are obviously are clueless. Wait, scratch that last comment. It might be true, but I don't care to get attacked by the Beatle haters out there. There is one here and I met only one other in my lifetime. I think we should put both of them in a room and make them listen to "The Long and Winding Road" on an endless loop for all Eternity.
