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?

And agree on Hey Jude…. Only Beatles song I don’t ever want to hear again… Yes I like Octopus’ Garden

…..’’they (The Beatles) were the original boy band’’

 

My logic from me and intending no opinion, good or bad…..

 

The term ‘boy band’ did not originate until the 1980s.

The majority of early boy bands were put together by music moguls to cash in on teenage girls hero worship.

Most boy bands (and l deliberately do not mention by name to impart a negative) could not write their own material.

Except for maybe one or two members of a four or five piece ‘boy band’ not all could play a musical instrument when formed.

Boy Bands were designed to have a good cross section of looks to capture a loyal following and be able to dance and sing.

If any members could play…..their instruments were normally dubbed by session musicians on their early releases.

 

No The Beatles were never a boy band. I never observed them dancing while trying to play their instruments. John, Paul, George and Ringo could hardly be described as boys. They were all far older than the 1980s boy bands that were assembled by grand ‘puppet masters’ and by today’s standards, the TV ‘talent’ shows.
