I had the misfortune to hear a couple of tracks by Melanie De Biasio from the album No Deal at a friend's music evening this week. Best summarised as close miked vocals sung in a slow and sultry way with jazzy overtones, I found it to be a heap of pretentious, self-indulgent, exhibitionist drivel and for the first time in ten years of such music evenings almost had to leave the room.

So what else provokes such negative emotions amongst our members?

The dreary sh*te & bedwetters association - Travis, Keane, Stereophonics, Coldplay etc etc etc.

Michael Jackson tracks usually get me to turn the radio off for 5 minutes.

But really the worst music ever is Dutch 'levenslied' (songs from life) like this from national hero Andre Hazes (now deceased)

Painful! Listen at your own risk.

I can let most stuff just roll over me but Rap music and Punk Rock are not my bag at all.

Plus anything by Phil Collins...

Country & Western, the "Achy Breaky Heart", "Man, I feel Like A Woman" type stuff.

Avant Garde Jazz: the sort of stuff that as George Melly once put it, "sounds like a fire in a pet shop"

I like it for art's sake, but I have been told that they are now banned from home and office when other human beings, or dogs, or cats are present.

That vid made me laugh out loud.
