Taylor Swift
Unremarkable and instantly forgettable. It made so little impact that if I listened to it again, I don't think I'd recognise a single track. It's not that it's offensive, it's just so bland that I'm not even certain I heard it. It was like eating a lettuce for dinner. You don't recoil at every bite but you do wonder why you're not eating something with a bit more flavour, variety or both.

Bob Dylan
I quite like a few Bob Dylan tracks in isolation, but his vocals really grate after 1-2 tracks which make a whole album in one sitting like a weird form of torture. He gives an unusual cadence to his lyrics and an unpredictable syllable emphasis that swings from too little to too much, all too rapidly. All things considered, it makes for an uncomfortable listening experience.
