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?

@mylogic ,

I humbly withdrew my post as I am trying hard not to put forth into the world more negative vibes that are already out there.

Unless it’s about singers with crappy voices...

I thought it was an anti-drug message; "Just say na."

Happiness is a warm gun, @thecarpathian .

"Happiness is a Warm Gun" is a song by The Beatles. The song is a parody of typical love songs and refers to the pleasure some people take in violence. The message here is about human nature and the disturbing way that we embrace violence rather than peace. The song was inspired by a story titled "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" about a father taking his son shooting for the first time. The title of the song has an obvious sexual innuendo, and some people interpret it as a reference to drugs. 

@immatthewj ,

And now, the rest of the story...

And now, the rest of the story..

"Janis Joplin, John Frusciante -- the list goes on and on. There’s nothing fun about dancing with Mr. Brownstone, but Lennon was using the drug in the late ’60s, and ‘Happiness Is a Warm Gun' is about that push-and-pull of addiction, and "shoot, shoot" may be a reference to, well, shooting up. Luckily, Lennon beat the habit and avoided becoming another drug casualty.Heroin is a mistake a lot of great rockers have made. Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley,"

But if you wish to believe there is no smocking gun, I have no wish to shatter your illusions.

"I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the pits that I left uptown
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun

Happiness is a warm gun (bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, momma (bang, bang, shoot, shoot)

When I hold you in my arms (ooh, oh, yeah)
And I feel my finger on your trigger (ooh, oh, yeah)
I know nobody can do me no harm (ooh, oh, yeah)"
