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?

@mahgister “l apologise for my post defending Philip Glass”

No reason to do that.

Personal tastes in music is like food. Some you like more than others. 
It also depends on what you look forward to listening to or not. I can take Philip Glass in small quantities, but not an all night feast.

”Kundun” had an interesting regional spicy flavour.

His contributions in “The Truman Show” went down well, like a fine wine.

But l can’t taste any difference between his Koyaanisqatsi, Nagoyqatsi or Poaqqatsi

Thank You. @mahgister 

Dual Gold Mallorcan (dual concentric) l never heard, but they often fetch an astronomical price in the UK. Were they only made in the US for that market?

Looking on the internet the speaker drivers 👀 gorgeous from behind. It was a shame they were hidden from view. The engineering was magnificent.

@mylogic ....Well, they're less expensive now but showing their age...

Me?  Lotus...and the DH Mosquito.

My Garrard Z-100 is a complex beast beneath the deck, but is still impressive with a pantograph arm that actually does do what it does well.  Despite owning  tangentials, the charm of hand-cueing an LP still lingers from my original AR....

The Z finessed the art of the arc, and rivals my tange's

Found in the local Salvation Army shop....9/10...M55E....25$

Don't know why or what drove it there, but it's found home.
Here the 301's are overpriced IMH...and still depend on the arm applied to shine. ;)

@lordmelton. Just curious, in what ways do you think reservoir dogs has an aged well?

@simao 

Don't get me wrong Reservoir Dogs is a fabulous movie in many ways, especially the soundtrack. However my gripe is the cop torture scene which was exciting and different the first few times you saw it but over time to me it seems too indulgent. 

Another thing is Harvey Keitel being the old school gangster with a code of honour that gets everyone screwed.

The ending too was daft with everyone shooting themselves, gangsters don't do that!

Aside from those points the actors and story were excellent, I remember hearing that the film was made for $10k and completely UNWOKE!
