What's your poison?

Posted by: stephenjohn on 19 January 2006

I’ve had a little more time than of late to read the forum and have noticed that the old adage, “One man’s meat is another man’s poison” is never truer than with music. I’ve often been deeply disappointed by heartfelt and enthusiastic recommendations from others and disappointed many by mine.

I once asked my wife to listen to a passage from a Haydn string Quartet that I found achingly beautiful. She said, “it sounds screechy” I was aghast

So what's your poison? ie the most disliked, by everybody else or someone in particular, of your favourites?

I have yet to meet many people who "get" Caberet Voltaire. This probably falls into the same catagory as the more challanging chassical music.

Posion for me has to be synthetic bland pop or overdone emo rubbish, enter James Blunt, etc.

My mother sometimes ask me when i'll get married and if there's some women around.
I do answer that i'll do it when i'll find one able to appreciate an evening of records and nothing else.
Maybe a bottle of red as well.
This means never.
Btw is not such a tragedy.

That's what I used to think - but it happened (eventually)
