You know, ever since I've started listening to instrumental music, more specifically Electronic music, I have sort of developed a dislike for singing in music... it's weird, but now all I want is the music, and not someone telling me what the song is about... well, to a certain extent anyways... I find that lyrics take away from the songs openness to interpretation... any thoughts on this people?

Yeah, know what you mean.
It almost seems to give the game away and its far to constricting having to use something as clumsey as language to express yourself.

Funkmaster, I feel EXACTLY the same way. Thom Yorke, I used to think had an amazing voice, now I wish he'd shut up so I hear the music.
I don't like singing, except if it's Lennon/McCartney or David Gilmour.

i agree to some extent,,,,i find some vocals can sometimes add to a songs mood,,,,,,,,,most of the time lyrics piss me off though....
i like when people use their voice as an instrument,,,,like in pink floyd's great gig in the sky..........

Yeah, I said to a certain extent... because I do find vocals, and lyrics good in a way... some songs are just perfect, and you want to sing along... the song Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel is like that for me... I love the song, and I love singing alone with it... the lyrics, and the music together makes it an awesome song... but I have never sat down to try and figure out what the lyrics mean, because it doesn't matter... I don't know, it just depends... I'm not against lyrics, cause that's stupid... I'm just on an instrumental fix right now... Peter Gabriel, who is one of my favorite artists, is great... he releases music with lyrics, but also has done music that is pure instrumental (Passion)... it just depends...

And plus, good lyricists write their lyrics very vague... so it's open to interpretation... sometimes it's narrowed down to a certain idea maybe, but lots of times I find it's wide open... so lyrics aren't all bad...
