Music/bands you cant listen to any more

[Yarders91]

Recently went to a funeral of a work colleagues a few days ago. The 3 music tracks that played have now made it into my category of music i cant listen to anymore. Just wandered if anyone else has a selection of artists that for whatever reason cant stand or bear to listen to ever again.

Heres a few of mine so far.

Jess glynne - take me home
Ellie goulding - how long will i love you
Calivin harris - feel so close to you right now
Anything by lost prophets. Since ian was outed for being an uber peado i cant even manage to listen to a bar without switching it off. Bit of a shame really as i thought they were an awesome band.

I can't listen to the levellers anymore. I still like the tunes but find the lyrics agonisingly sixth form politics.

Lost Prophets.

Lots of bands I can't listen to, but for no reason other than I plain don't like their music.

That said, there's a track on the Ray of Light album by Madonna (I'm not a fan generally, but I really like that album) called Mer Girl and I reckon about 50% of the time I hear it I feel the need to skip it.

It's not that I don't like the track, but it often stirs something inside me that makes me feel incredibly sad and very unsettled and I want the feeling to stop.

Very odd sensation and the only track I can think of that makes me feel that way.

Dire Straits.

I was well into them as a teenager (no, I really wasn't one of the cool kids...) but my tastes have moved on.

[Lucas CAV]

Cats in the Cradle --can't listen to that since having children....

[technodup]

DJ Excel - Cocaine
Bass X - All Systems Go
Ultimate Buzz - Check Da Bass

In fact loads, all because they were go to tracks of one of my friends and I've heard them every single time we've had a mix, which is quite often in the last twenty years.

Napalm Death and Carcass. Not quite the same sitting down in the living room with a glass of red.

[RB Will]

Another one here for Lost Prophets, well I can still listen to it but feel a bit dirty doing so.

[FunkyNige]

From when I was about 15/16 until I was 23/24 I pretty much exclusively listened to 'hardcore' dance music and scoffed at music with guitars in, but now (34) I can't stand more than 2 songs until I get bored of it and switch to something with guitars in, including the music I used to look down on.

I'm a big Prince fan but I can't listen to the st he put out after 1991 with The New Power Generation. Anything pre-1988 is just perfect to me.
Also Simply Red. They went all crap around '91 and not liked anything since...

It's definitely not easy to listen to any more. Certainly not with other people. Shame as they were part of the soundtrack of my youth. One of the first bands I saw live too.

What a sick man though.

Same here, but up to Diamond and Pearls. Anything after that I just never got into and can't listen to. Shame because the early stuff is just superb music.

U2.
Loved the first few albums but I cant stand them any more.

Two little boys by Rolf Harris

This used to be one of my favourite songs and is still on my main playlist on my iPod but I have to skip it if it comes on, particularly if I'm in company.
For obvious reasons.

[GetCarter]

Pretty much all of them. Steely Dan being the exception.

[Johnnytheboy]

Mike Patton era Faith No More, particularly The Real Thing album.

Loved it at the time, thought the earlier albums with the first vocalist were nowhere near as good.

Now I love those early albums and can't listen to the later ones. It just sounds so... deliberate?

Skunk Baxter's funky addictive chops.

Most rock bands of the 80's and 90's naturally sound dated now, ACDC are timeless both in simplicity and flat production, I can blast them all day but those gated snares of Phil Collins sounded great at the time in the 80's but after everyone wanted the same sound they limited the life of the recording, Def Leppard sound terrible now, not that I was ever a fan.
