For my taste,any stringed instrument played out of tune or poorly played is annoying to me,with the exception of a beginner just learning to play.
I enjoy hearing most any instrument that is played well.
The most annoying instrument to me is an electric bass that overpowers the other instruments and rattles everything around it.
Loud as hell drums are my #2 annoyance. |

Well, my choice is for bagpipes.
I played a wedding, where, the groom was a piper. He requested to play along with the band for several tunes in his Black Watch garb. As he played, he marched up and down in front of the stage, which, was rather entertaining. But, his tuning and ours was not quite precise. Kind of like a bunch of cats behind a Chinese restaurant. I had to stop playing in order to save face. His drone E's and E notes, plus ours were like chalk on a blackboard. |

Kenny G’s saxophone.
I would rather listen to an accordion-bagpipe-banjo marching band. _________________ A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.

I have an unexplainable soft spot for the cacophony of the pipes. _________________ Steel Guitar Books! Website: www.volkmediabooks.com |

Me too. Something to do with my distant Scottish ancestry, maybe. _________________ Make sleeping dogs tell the truth!

Me also. I have heard a field of several hundred pipers marching and playing Amazing Grace.

The more the notes sustain, blend, vibrate and beats quiver, the better I like it and yet three notes from Buffy St. Marie drive me screaming from the room. Contradictions-R-Us. _________________ Steel Guitar Books! Website: www.volkmediabooks.com |

I would have to agree with the critic when it comes to the steel player who doesn't understand when to play and when not to. Or the guy that keeps time with his volume pedal, a constant yoink yoink yoink. Or not knowing the difference between twang and simply shrill. _________________ LeGrande II, Nash. 112, Harlow Dobro |

1. Drum tracks
2. Finger snaps
3. Ganjo players
4. Harmonica players that think they have to be constantly blowing
5. Guitar players trying to impress me with their steel licks
6. Singers that noodle on guitar and vocals and never really break into a tune. (You hear that on the Opry a lot.)
7. Rapping in a country song
8. Fake country accents
9. Luke Bryan
10.Eric Church |

I totally agree with your # 1 being your # 1.
Drum tracks are just the same as karaoke. Drum Karaoke.
And every time you karaoke, god kills a kitten. _________________ A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first. |

- UB-40's singer -- he should've been murdered a long time ago
- repetitive, one-idea modern songs with insipid lyrics that just repeat that one idea for 5 minutes
- soprano sax played by anybody
- rap music that denigrates women and then is celebrated and given a pass in our culture
- any record where a digital keyboard is the main rhythmic instrument
- Axl Rose singing anything
- I'll have to agree - Joan Baez
- countless original artists who stand up there with stream of consciousnesses lyrics with no structure, no B part and every song in their set sounds the same
- amateur drummers who lose the tempo every time they play a fill
- pedal steel through a fuzzbox _________________ Guacamole Mafia - acoustic harmony duo

I didn't know Hillary had embarked on a vocal career - just shows you're never too old to switch. _________________ Make sleeping dogs tell the truth!
