with or without vocals...

nicfit · 09.07.2007, 02:41 PM

Recently I listened to a bunch of aalbums (mostly italian bands) that had great music but bad/not good enough/annoyingly recorded vocals.
Then, earlier this week, I listened to Cannibal Ox "The COld Vein" and then to "Cannibal Oxstrumentals" and I thought : hell, they should release a 2 cd package for every record, one with vocals one with instrumentals.
YEAHHH! who's with me on this???
high five!
no, seriously, I think that would result in a really interesting listening on many occasions. Like, NYG & F, to stay in the SY field.
I know that in many cases vocals are as important as the music (if not more), but that would be interesting nonetheless. In my humble opinion.

the poll is quite pointless actually, just share your opinions on the subject.

I feel this way about a lot of music. It has never occured to me how bands play good music with terrible vocals. its like, were they that desperate, because if they ACTUALLY believe some of these dudes vocals are talented....

I heard a version of a Strokes song that had the music and the vocals taken out. Best thing they've done, for sure. haha

Bono option = automatic vote.

There are plenty of bands with "dealbreaker" voices in them, but I would have to go case by case on this; sometimes the songs aren't interesting with zero vocals, and it's not like you have the option to substitute a singer you like into the mix.
