Maybe a controversial opinion but music was so much better when people who couldn’t sing would just own it and their unique style would become something iconic about their band and even though they may not be a technically good singer, they were still wonderful to listen to because of their character or presence or display of emotion...instead of the overprocessed, over-autotuned voices that sound exactly the same as every other singer of the same vocal range used on every radio song today
#singers like Ian Curtis Kurt cobain Bernard sumner etc who maybe don’t have a traditionally beautiful voice#are vastly more pleasing to listen to than the autotuned to hell and back pop singer who probably lip syncs every song at concerts#I think auto tune has its place and is certainly useful for a few places where the singer is off key#and I have no problem with vocal effects because I do enjoy the vocoder on the robots and Alan parsons Poe album#but overall autotuned voices are sickening#let me hear a man scream about the government or brood over his life or sing in a nasally voice about idk whatever oasis songs are about#autotuned#music#rant#pop music
