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?

Turn off the Beatles??!

Prince no good??!

Apparently I've entered the Twilight Zone...

Back in the ’90s I heard a Sarah McLachlan cover of Solsbury Hill on the public radio station I listened to back then and I thought it had a neat sound so being a bit OCD I went out and bought a whole crapload of Sarah McLachlan CDs.  She has a very nice voice, but basically most of those songs sound the same to me.  I guess it’s not that I cannot listen to her, but I don’t feel any desire to.

CCR:  another group I have two (theoretically "audiophile quality") CDs and I cannot tell you why.  For the most part I would now put The Doors in that category as well, including the two DCC CDs by them I have. 

. . . and if nothing else, after reading this thread I am going to look for some Edith Piaf CDs to buy.  

 I think with some of the Springsteen haters, it's political. 

That combined with bad systems and perforated eardrums.
