On the Naim label, there is an artist called Seward. I choose to believe they were signed by someone without ears.
The vocals on every track are rage inducing annoying. I honestly donāt think the words āartistā, āsongā or āmusicā apply here. More like grim cold war era psychological audio torture.
Visiting a Steam Fair last weekend, full of traction engines etc, some classic cars, with period fairground rides like merry-go-round, and music provided by a couple of fairground pipe organs. Plus a modern Walrzer, complete with excessively loud thumping āmusicā - no evident tune or singing, just thump, thump, thump - deafening nearby and annoyingly audible 100 yards away. So out of place -Iām surprised the organisers didnāt require it to be turned down to not be audible outside its own spot.
I didnāt know it so I watched the video (which is not bad I think). Well, Iād play it ten times in a row to be saved from Bohemian Rhapsody (I just hate every Mamma mia sung or pronounced in any song).
I tried to imagine Happy differently arranged and sung by Ray Charles and all of a sudden it became a glorious piece of junky ironyā¦
I had to Google them! Jazz and soul are non-starters for me, and I dislike most brass unless in the background, including sax though not strictly classified as brass, but there is more sax I like than things with obvious trumpet - and I even have a sax myself!
More prog rock, classical, rock and opera than I will ever get to hear or buy, plus bits of other things like folk - plenty for a lifetime and more of enjoyment!
Now genreās are being discussed, for me āclassicā rock, especially from the 70ās, Iāve tried numerous times and still do occasionally try to give it another listen but always come away with the same feeling, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Eagles, too many to mention. Just not my thing.
Oh and also Metal from any era.
Apart from that good with most other things even the much derided Christmas music.
