I find myself, now that I'm really into electronic artists, really not liking SINGING... and LYRICS... it's disturbing.
Most voices that I used to love, now I wish they'd shut up sometimes. Thom Yorke, even! Although he's amazing... but sometimes he sounds like he's trying too hard.
Only voices I can really tolerate is Lennon, post 67 George Harrison (that guy was slowly becoming the third greatest modern musician ever, but he was made for the Beatles, not solo) , David Gilmour, Fran Healy... but especially Gilmour, what a sexy voice! ;-)
Most singing makes me cringe (that fake Eddie Vedder-wannabe growl those Creed and Lifehouse guys have), and most lyrics... ugh.
Anyway... I'm sure some of you don't like singing much anymore, I've seen a topic like this once.

I like to sign the shit in my car. When its really loud I throw on some rock/industrial stuff that I can BLAST and sing to. Its great stuff, that and Nirvana... I can sing to forever.

I prefer no lyrics cause then I can make my own up. Nothing like singing about going to the grocery store to some mad BoC beats.

I prefer no lyrics. I like music that's more abstract than having set lyrics...

When the Beatles are singing with their perfect voices and their perfect lyrics, I love it... every other voice sounds forced and fake, now... I hope this is just a phase.

i love "because" (beatles) i think it has the three voices (john paul and george) triplicated so they sound as 9... and it really sounds perfect... one of my favs. i have it on the beatles anthology (acapella=no other instrument but the voices) and its awesome... i also have the normal one from abbey road

thom yorke's voice NEVER gets on my nerves. NEVER NEVER NEVER....
i love to sing.... the weird thing is, when i find a techno song i like, i tend to sing the melody (if at all possible). you shoudl here me rocking it out to Window Licker when i am in the car..... but not just easy to sing songs liek that.. stuff like Pliad's Death To All Culture Snitches too.
i like lyrics....

yeah... i remember when i was first getting into electronic music ...i hated singing...like when i first heard underworld..i was turned off by the fact that there were vocals on most of their songs..though i began to get used to it...and ended up really getting into them...
now i tend to like music with lyrics just as much as music without...
it seems i've always kinda prefered female vocals over male..for whatever reason...girls voices just seem less obtrusive than mens..with some exceptions..radiohead, underworld, and sigur ros being some of them..
plus..until recently i was more into instrumental hip hop..and trip hop than i was into hip hop with rapping...though now it seems i like both equally..
its funny...most of the people who dislike electronic music bring up its' lack of vocals and lyrics as their main argument as to why they dislike it...

sometimes I like lyrics, and sometimes I don't... although it's more times then not that I don't nowadays... my favorite singer is Peter Gabriel though... his voice is so emotional, I love it... this guy could make a song about buying a carton of eggs heart-wrenching... and take something like Passion for instance, you have Peter Gabriel singing, but there are no lyrics, so that's excellent... another reason why I love that album so much... :)

Hello...
I must say I am new to the "electronica" scene... VERY NEW, so I am still getting used to the no lyrics/singing vs. lyrics/singing. Someone like Jeff Buckley, I can listen to all day... I can get *tired* I suppose of some of the artists I listen to, but I haven't really given myself the opportunity of thinking about the other side.

Only band I can't get tired of is the Beatles... they can sing all they want... I want every other singer to shut their mouths, they're trying too hard. Pretentious cunts.

I don't mind singing, as long as it's actual singing and not talking. It certainly has its place among other genres.

morpheme: kurt cobain was amazing, I still love Nirvana. Through my long musical history ive gone from tons of genres and tastes/styles, and whenever I switch I carry over a few bands or artists with me to the next one... Nirvana has always been one of those.

You cant front on good old soul music!
I love the songs from the 70s like the Philly sound,Tamla, Motown etc etc
Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Ottis Redding, Barry White, Al Green etc etc
Willie Mitchells production is out of this world, he sounds like RZA (because RZA sampled all of his records) Its like Wu Tang beats with singing on top :)
Go cop the best of Al Green and enjoy Mitchells production skills.

I didn't read any of this thread except for this:
"I find myself, now that I'm really into electronic artists,
really not liking SINGING... and LYRICS... it's disturbing. "
and I agree 100%, not only that, whenever there are vocals I tend to ignore them, even in bjork songs I think this would be hot if she would shutup. I'm even starting to listen to rap for the beats.

a-capella is good because then the voices are all the instruments, i'm listening to some medieval music nowadays, perhaps not the most logical to come to for this but i got it in this music course and i was trying classical anyway,
anyway it's very soothing and something different then the obliged band-singing, also i've had it with this kid-a stuff for a while

it matters, if the vocalist is good and the music flows correctly, than i like it
Massive attack does this well
i cannot like vocalists that drown out the music though, unless it is for a reason

I HATE world music. Anything from India, or Japan, anywhere but the Western World, I can't stand that music. Just a matter of taste...
