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

”Poorly phrase?” @markalarsen 

My thinking too (poor English) from the comments of our US correspondent when l read his reply.

George Bernard Shaw said, “Two Nations divided by a common language”

“American” (if a real language) is a bastardised language. Leads to all sorts of misunderstandings.

Maybe a typo? Benefit of the doubt? Shall will let him off (not like a firework, we don’t want a misunderstanding) on that one? “Poorly Phrase” could be like, American “math” V English “Maths”….another bastardisation. (US…Bastardization)

Better not be too rude, we could end up with litigation proceedings and find ourselves in court. So let’s “drop the dead donkey” (English expression) and leave it at that.

An interesting discussion all the same. Perhaps it’s best to just let us agree to disagree?

Neil Young....sorry folks, his singing is terrible.

@troutbum 

l thought Neil Young’s voice was marginally better when he grew older

It was just a typo on Mark's part I'm sure, but I called it out jokingly because he was calling out someone else's error. No harm intended.

Tastes were acquired,by accidental exposure at critical times, by training, by education,by attention to some aspects of any multidimensional events as music and songs...

Tastes are never right or wrong , they are meaningful habits or meaningless one...

We kept our tastes because they are part of our being, as a luggage is indication of our origin, destination and intentions...

We must educate ourselves...

We must think about what we like and dislike and why...

Sometimes our taste reflect a good intuition about  aesthetics and meanings sometimes they reflect our ignorance...

We will never understand our biases, innate or acquired, if we do not  extend our scope of attention...

Music and speech are yogas....Not only leisure... Black or light yogas...

The effect of sounds on our own beings is so huge  we cannot be conscious of it without meditation...

 Thoughtless tastes  will stay at worst meaningless or at best  pleasurable habits....

We cannot change all our tastes and it is not the goal, but we can change our own attention level...

We can ask why is it such.... To begin with....
