Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

Hi

l’m reading through the nights postings this morning in the UK

Can l say thank you to all who have taken the time and interest in the subject. There have been so many amusing and interesting comments that had me chuckling to myself. My partner wondered what l was up to while having coffee. I had to read some of them out. She even put in her pet hate with some of the music l listen too.

Ennio Morricone and his 60s and 70s experimental horror, thriller, psychedelic, avant-garde style soundtracks. Now l have to agree with her on this point as so much of it can be impenetrable and discordant taken out of context with the films…..an unexpected assault on the ear drums for an unprepared listener.

Not intended as a thumbs down on this artist but a valid point for the uninitiated.

I’m with you on Springsteen. My ex-wife was a YUGE fan of his and dragged me to a show in Munich in ‘82 (?) at the Olympiahalle. About one hour into it I fell asleep.

To this day I’m STILL surprised Roger McGuinn hasn’t sued him over stealing the tune from “Chestnut Mare” to make “Born to Run” after all those other lawsuits won with thinner proof and voir dire juries of tone-deaf public eduction victims it would be a clear win for him.

Congratulations, you have understood the point.

The comments may be negative, but the replies have been pretty positive. This post has just reached the top position in the ‘’Recently Popular’’ menu visible in the UK for Saturday with approaching 1500 views and 100 posts. All this in 30 hours.

This is my first discussion posted so l rest my case for thinking this was an interesting subject for others who wish to add and debate.

Joanna Newsome, Regina Spektor and anything with boogie-woogie piano.

Since most of the debating is about not liking popular and/or revered artists, my pick in that category would be Paul Simon (solo albums only). His solo stuff has always rubbed me the wrong way. I've got a couple of friends who feel the same way about Steely Dan, who I happen to like a lot. It just goes to show how different that we can be sometimes, which I find interesting.
