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?
These are a few more bands who would force me to change the station if I still listened to the radio. The list is a lot longer than I thought it would be, but there's a lot of bad music out there. Pretty much all Heavy Metal Kiss Bon Jovi Nirvana Toto Any band featuring David Lee Roth Spin Doctors Hootie and the Blowfish All Boy Bands (New Kids, N'Sync, Jonas Bros etc) Nickelback Little River Band Air Suppy Michael Bolton Nelson Bobby Goldsboro And of course, Kenny G |
Love the Beatles but @thecarpathian "Hey Jude" brings back memories of my nephew who as a first child of one sister and brother in law was always 'the star of the show', every holiday the lights go up, entire family has to put up with little sh@@ singing this terrible, repetitive drivel, gag me with a fork.
Wonder how often associating some negative experience to a particular song or artist leads to our dislike? I have no doubt some of my aversion to early Bruce due to cult like following. I have general aversion to all artists/performers placed on pedestals, can't relate to the psychology of 'cults of personality." I actually admire Dylan's detachment/ambivalence towards his cult, wider perspectives often missing in those placed on pedestals. |
It’s a good thing that The Beatles were never placed on a pedestal by anyone, except maybe by Charles Manson.

@spin4cards - I love the Beatles but I totally agree about The Long and Winding Road, especially the version wrecked by Phil Spector's insipid orchestration. It would have been fine with me if they'd never released that 'Let It Be' album. They really missed George Martin. |
