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?

Just inquiring because l immediately replied to that post about Rick (Dick) of “Sloopy Girl” fame.

Your lead into that subject has just disappeared..vanished..like “A Kind of Magic”

@lordmelton 

Yes, l like Yes.    There…. I’ve gone and said it now!

Shameful with the earlier internal frictions and falling outs that were so bad, bad, bad. So bad l stopped following the group then. The fuss and bickering was unbearable and yes, it left a bad bitter taste. Two rival bands touring at one point, both claiming to be the real “Yes”

Now negatives over……

Not a great album collector but l do like their live concerts on Blu-ray/DVD

Live in Montreux 2003 Blu-ray (with Wakeman) for performance.

Symphonic - Live in Amsterdam 2002 DVD best for sound, and the orchestra blends in so seamlessly. One occasion that an orchestra and group concert works. You can see the orchestra players actually enjoying the meeting of musical styles.

In my opinion the early 2000s Yes reached the height of their writings and musicianship.

A YES from me.

@mylogic , I just saw that myself.  You will have to check with lord snowflake and/or the new sock puppet account on that.  Those two are easily triggered.  

As far as lord snowflake, he probably thinks the name of the Warren Zevon album he is enamored with is Werewolves Of London (as he thought the self titled Dire Straits album was titled Sultans Of Swing because he likes the song).

Anyway, as far as Warren Zevon, this link is for lord snowflake:

the Bruce Springsteen-Warren Zevon connection

@mylogic , check with lord snowflake and/or the newest sock account, but I guess this email that I just opened says it all?

The strangest example that comes to mind and for me is pure hokum, is the Springsteen “live” concert filmed by Scorsese. Courtney Cox (unknown at ...
