Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

 Swift and Joanna Newsom seem to be the youngest artist referenced in this entire thread. And outside of the general and myopic references to rap and  "hippity hop" and Country, no one seems to have mentioned any thing made this century. Which speaks to a lot of the narrow musical tolerances of aging audiophiles. 

Someone did mention the Violent Femmes and I can kind of agree insofar as their song Blister in the Sun I think remains my least favorite song of all time. Ironically one of the Bands I'm in has decided to cover that song and now I've got to play it just about every single night. As Morpheus said, fate is not without a sense of irony.

Queen, Supertramp, Journey, Foreigner, Van Halen, The Cars and REO Speedwagon were some popular bands from my high school and college years that I could never get into.

Bose speakers in the boonies——-

Ah boonies…….understand now.

Did you pick up any hillbilly LPs? I know Country and Bluegrass has taken a hammering on here.
l bet ‘American Pickers’ would have had a ‘field day’ (English slang for an opportunity for success at the expense of others)

The show with Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz (R.I.P) is a popular off peak daytime show in the UK

@mylogic ,

I’ve actually met Mike and Frank, really nice guys.
