Music I would succumb to under torture

I couldn’t listen to Diana Krall, or any of those other jazz lite vocalists that audiophile types listen to, on even the finest hi-fi, YMMV.

I would be useless in a war if captured.
If they played me Diana Krall, Sade or Frank Sinatra I would surrender and give them all the information they wanted! Just if they stopped playing that music and torturing me! I am having screaming habdabs just thinking about it ...

Oh, not Sinatra! Say it isn’t so. I’m sure Dylan will not be far behind.

Besides all of the jazz lite vocalists, Krall, Cole, Monheit, Barber, et al, Yoko Ono is not to my taste. I think that I would give up all of our most treasured secrets to stop that torture.

And yes, these are simply personal matters of taste and enjoying these noted singers is as valid as disliking them.

BTW, there is a fantastic Pink Floyd bootleg called “The Screaming Abdabs” that is a live try out of the Dark Side of The Moon before all of the concepts therein were fully formed. It is a fantastic artifact, in glorious lo fi. Rick Wright seems to fill in the blanks that later became parts of the continuous whole. Like it, or not, if you have been listening to the album most of your life, this is a most instructive listen.
