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?

If anyone is unaware the Brits and French absolutely despise each other. Going back further than the 100 years war (imagine over 100 years of war) finally settled at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 with Britain controlling most of France.

Then ABBA come along and won the ESC with Waterloo which marked the annihilation of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, 1815. Napoleon is THE French hero and if you're looking for a fight just slag off Napoleon to a French guy.

France never recovered from Waterloo and ABBA and to add further insult the Paris to London cross channel train terminates at Waterloo Station in South London.

British people know this so better swot up

Agincourt did not end the 100 Years War. 1337-1453

Not a total 100+ years of fighting. It was on and off with long periods of peace and status quo (thank God we didn’t have the pop group around that long)

William the Conqueror came over on more than a holiday in 1066 because he got fed up of living in his own 🏰 in Normandy. Good old Anglo-Saxon interbreeding for nearly 400 years and a new line of “English” (not) kings.

So you could say it was Anglo-French fighting French at Agincourt. Swings and roundabouts for nobles and their serfs. Don’t mention Trafalgar Square north of Waterloo Station…..you might upset the Spanish.🇪🇸 

@lordmelton do you know why Brittany (French region) is called Brittany?

Washington is a district in Northumbria in England, the USA version is a fake...or is it the chicken or the egg syndrome?……Things aren’t always what they seem to be. Ha Ha

Ah, because of all the negative comments I had to check out Edith Piaf on Tidal as I had never heard of her. Whoa! Bad - but not any worse than Joan Baez with that vibrato making her sound like a cassette played on a deck needing the rollers cleaned. Wow and flutter much. LOL.
