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?

Re: Music That Really Winds You Up
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)

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