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?

@macg19 “misery loves company”

Some things are not as bad as they look.

Not wanting to be in any way too negative, but didn’t your last discussion get not one reply post? 

Loosen up man. Why the serious look? Are not most light hearted jokes negative?

Most people love a laugh about some thing. Why not music?

In maths don’t two negatives multiplied together make a plus?

l make it 603 (so called) negatives on here so far. Never mind the near 26,000 views.

l class that as a “hit”…...beat that Mr. macg19 (from a newbie with 1 discussion)

 

Congratulations on your 1st post being a big hit!  Although it did take you 5 years to come up with it.

Now let's see your virtual system!

“it did take you 5 years to come up with it”

“Now let’s see your virtual system”

“5 years to come with it” You are so wrong. l joined in 2020 posted twice and was not overly impressed so l left it. This is a very recent surprise success after a near 5 year sojourn. Do some research on your Computer, iPad, phone or whatever.

The let’s see yours sounds very immature. Is yours bigger than mine? My hi-fi is of no concern to others….it’s not necessary. That’s not why l’m on here. Some may consider it high end or on the fringe of that holy grail audiophile label, but I’m quite happy to not brag. I leave that to those who want to show off theirs. Free country. Personally, l never bother to look at any “virtual systems”

A virtual system…. It means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Ultravox.

Oh l forgot to add….

Thank you for posting today, it helps to keep this negative discussion in the charts for a third month.

All things must pass and nothing is forever. It is an inevitability that this thread will die a natural death this month, a mathematical probability. However, these conversations have been like a roller coaster ride. Thanks also to those @macg19 “negative” people out there that have made this discussion so debatable funny and entertaining.

“Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen to?” has made some readers claim they have laughed out loud ( @zx10 for one ) and another even admitted “I nearly pissed my pants” reading some of the crazy comments.

As l have said before, l am sure more people like the artists mentioned than those who deride the performers. Every dog has his day and everyone’s personal opinions count. I am sure no harm done. The artists mentioned will not think for one minute to donate (to any good causes) some of the royalties earned from the said underachieving/offending songs.

Not looking at others' systems seems somewhat shortsighted. It's interesting to see set-ups and gear and get some ideas for both. Plus, sometimes I'm just curious as to what others are using as in-person dynamics with other audiophiles is rare indeed.
