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

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.

Seems like it boils down to any music that exists, somebody is gonna hate and somebody else is gonna love.

That is blasphemy sir! 

If this was about what CONCERTS to avoid, it would be Dave.  I like a lot of the music, so decided to go.  There are crowds of friends talking loudly and not even watching.  Then, on cue, they all turn and recite the refrains yelling Ioudly.  After, they return to talking  and not watching or listening.  You could not even hear the good parts, of which there are many.  BTW, I LOVE ‘Cortez the Killer’ live in NY w Warren Haynes.  Good things the mikes are in front of most of the crowd!
