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

@sns ,

Your nephew memories reminded me of a local couple who, (going back some decades now) fancied their 8-9 year old son a mini Neil Diamond impersonator. They’d take him to the mall, local fairs and events and, dressed in a small sparkly jumpsuit, he would scream/screech Neil Diamond songs, while mimicking his signature gestures. All the while the kid was caterwauling, his parents were beaming like he was the greatest thing since Elvis, oblivious to how painfully bad the kid was. To this day, I can’t hear a Neil Diamond song without thinking about that kid. I bet the poor guy is still in therapy.

”Bruce Springsteen. He can't sing and he can't play guitar either. I know, I  know everyone loves him. I can't even consider him as a vocalist. Horrible.”

+1 here.  Never understood how he is famous.  
 

I like plenty of “bad” (talking voice/tone) singers who can emote wonderfully or have clever songs — Dylan and W Nelson for example — but Springsteen has zero real emotion and is just not clever.  Just awful.

Maybe Bruce could sing better if he actually opened his mouth...

In This Moment….. this “Nu Metal” band sucks harder than a Royal vacuum cleaner….Try them on Apple Music….
