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?

I haven't seen those movies and therefore don't understand the references. I understand that you're the OP, but you don't need to moderate the thread.

@roxy54 

Sorry you did not understand the references. Not my intention to confuse. I was just intending to inject a bit of humour. Plus I just sequenced into the music question off the back of “The Thing” thing…….as it’s a “music” question.

Have you not seen the two “Alamo” films with the legendary “drawing the line in the sand” by William B Travis, the real life commander of the ill-fated garison?

 

As you are from the US, what is your understanding of the event…(or anyone else) Is it fact or fiction? It would be interesting as a Brit to know if this is taught in history lesson in Schools over there.

Speak for yourself. Not everyone feels the way you do.

LITERALLY my second sentence said that I AM ONLY SPEAKING FOR MYSELF. What's happening with you? Are you seeing the screen ok?

I am pretty much impressed by Philip Glass opera in particular Akhnaten....

I like his opera  "the beauty and the beast"... ( among my  favorite movies are two version of "beauty and the Beast" the french one and the less known masterpiece the Czech one version)

Glass was a friend of Moondog a street musician who influence many people... One of my first vinyl with my new Tannoy Speakers 50 years ago...

 

Aknaten is stunning piece... my favorite opera with Weil "threepenny" and Busoni Faust...
