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

@immatthewj I don't hate Brucey. I just think he is boring and unimaginative and his main talent is marketing. What triggered me is the trashing of the Queen. They are simply not in the same league. It's like Olympic finals vs. middle school little league. 

vague or meaningless unless you can enlighten us with some reasoning behind it

@mylogic 

Maybe you can do the same and shine some light for us on your bizarre hatred of Edith Piaf.

Today, it is 99.9% impossible to accidentally hear Edith Piaf’s songs, unlike most of the sound makers on @bzawa ’s list, whose "art" is liable to assault our ears as we enter any number of tire stores, job sites and midbrow supermarkets. So what’s your problem with a largely forgotten white French chanteuse?

@mylogic it was so much easier to just make a list. Anyway...

I like artists that experiment, are unique (at least to me), who don't rely on the same formula (Talking Heads, XTC, Yes, Eno, Genesis, Bowie, just to name a few of the more well known artists). Bad Company, Foreigner and BTO are formulaic. As are Motorhead, Motley Crew,  Bon Jovi, Kiss, Guns n Roses and these guys have to add juvenile lyrics and awful vocals and dumb costumes. For me, none of these guys provide any emotional impact.

Frankie Valli and Natalie Merchant are probably very nice people, i just don't like their voices. Give me Kate Bush or Regina Spektor or Roger Daltry or Robert Wyatt.

I've know quite a number of people who loved Elvis but really didn't know much about or weren't interested in other music. I guess this isn't a good reason to not like Elvis, but I don't, especially the Los Vegas Elvis. 

@immatthewj That's Springsteen? That's quite good. Is it from Jungle Land?
