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?
Thank you for your detailed reply regarding your list of artists. As regards Elvis, l single out ‘Any Day Now’ as a very short effective track that l believe was the B side to ‘In the Ghetto’ It’s amazing how many Elvis ‘fans’ don’t even know it. |
Similar reaction with my Fathers dog, a very alert Bob Martin terrier. The dog would start howling every time l played a particular Ennio Morricone composition with the dominant instrument being the flugelhorn played by Oscar Valdenbrini. It was a source of constant amusement…. Whenever l slipped the offending track on he thought he was part of a wolfpack. Footnote:- @devinplombier Invokes a ‘’similar reaction’’ from me when l am inadvertently ambushed by Edith Piaf on the radio. Thankfully l resisted the urge to do so in a cinema viewing Saving Private Ryan when that sequence appeared. |
