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 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.

Either that or force Scabby Road on me, @spin4cards ; pure torture.

Anything that is "Auto Tuned", give me the beauty and the failings of the human voice.....both are equally important to creating emotion for me.

Joe Cocker.

He sounds like he's singing through a drain pipe with a mouth full of gravel.

My agreeing on Springsteen is actually my error in the spirit of this thread. 

I can certainly listen to his songs without turning them off. I just don't understand the cult following and mega-stardom. Same with the Grateful Dead.

But that's probably because I wasn't a pot headed, acid popping hippy. 🤔
