Who Are Your 'Off Switch' Artists?

[parakitaMol.]

Sod being nice, I'm not nice, i have a black heart, this year isn't nice, it's been a stty year, so here's my a stty artist (aka how the fk did you get famous) list.


There are some people who I HAVE to turn off, not down, I just can't 'tune out', they literally have my senses screaming. Probably an ASD thing. I have to kill it.


First of all there's Mariah Carey..... I honestly do not know what other people actually hear!.... over singing every single line, warbling, it sounds like Karaoke Yodelling to me. Horrible just horrible.

I have others... she's top of the off list for me

Come on haters, bring the scorn.

Bowie & James Brown - never understood the adulation others seem to feel, Brown especially is just noise to me.

I have this argument with my husband all the time - he loves Bowie. Bowie can NOT sing! however I really like the 'sound' of some of his music (definitely not all) but to my ears, he just cannot sing. Awful.

[parakitaMol.]

Adele!! YES.

fking stalker. Her songs actually make me angry.

[parakitaMol.]

The Beatles. URRRRRGHHHHHH

[parakitaMol.]

And U2 - WATF? dreadful. And a bunch of tossers.

Anyone else want to vote for anything to do with the overrated knobbers that are the Gallaghers?

And another vote for Sheeran and Sam Smith as well

Yep, I detest Oasis, they can go

it pains me that I do actually like some of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

Green Day,.

If you have heard one song, you have heard them all. Exactly the same.

Beastie Boys - massively annoying headache songs that are all exactly the same as well.

[parakitaMol.]

Even though I intended this to be specific to a band/artist - I am going to put an entire genre in.

Prog rock

Not progressive, not rock, not even classed as music. It is not anything other than self indulgent cacophony that makes my ears bleed and my head scream.

Ellie Goulding.


Had the misfortune to see a small part of a live set of hers once.

As someone on another forum accurately described it.......

`It was essentially an hour of being shouted at by a lovesick aerobics teacher`

Fkin terrible.

It’s the idiotic ga ha baby voice she does, awful

Coldplay. I can see why some people would like them but I can not stand them. .

I can’t see why people like them. Bland like shopping for clothes at Next.

You can add Radiohead to that. Interchange Radioplay.

And U2 - yes I already did them but I hate those tossers so much they are in twice.


OVER SINGING aaaaaargh fking no! Why? Warbling up and down on every word STOP IT!

Actually you can add OVER PLAYING guitar solos. Self indulgent annoying whine, basically Steve Vai and any guitarist who models themself on him.

Paloma Faith

Yes

I liked one song and stupidly bought the album. I’ve since deleted and punched myself in the face for good measure.

And lots of other music from that same era. My poor ears.

Paul McCartney and Wings - ESPECIALLY Mull of Kintyre

As a professional musician, hearing people say this is kind of like saying to an F1 fan:

'FANGIO? CRAP'!

Someone once asked me if I liked Arctic Monkeys. I said no, because I don't. I didn't hate them, they just did nothing for me.

I then received a lecture on how I 'should' like them because it was 'intelligent music for intelligent music fans'

I've loathed them ever since.

How does one loathe a band that doesn't exist? Or are you referring to truck drivers?

Tragically more boring. I didn’t have my glasses on.

Bowie.

Pretentious overblown art rock twaddle, deified, for no apparent reason, by hipsters and wannabees

And. He can’t sing.

[parakitaMol.]

Bob Dylan

fking HELL he is awful, that nasal cacophony and that fking harmonica is like nails on a blackboard. OFF OFF OFF

Dire Straits - never was a band name more apt than this dire offering - with the allowable exception of the very brilliant "Sultans of Swing".... but it all went downhill faster than a Stobart truck of kit off a cliff....

Yes 100% but Sultans of Swing is included.

I can’t think of Dire Straits without picturing Harry Enfield (Tim Nice But Dim).

[parakitaMol.]

Ok I’m putting a whole genre in the fk off and die bin today.

Sea Shanties

Utterly horrible sounding toss.

You’re not the ultimate Hipster. You’re a psychopath. Shut up!
