Kugai:
I have favorites, everybody does.
But I don't limit my taste. Hell, if it's good and I like it, I'll listen to it.
I don't like Prunes. :-D

I'm with you on that, but I concede that I do like this one instance of its use:

I don't think I could pick a single "best year for music" -- there's good stuff and a whole mess of crap every single year, some years are better than others . . . eh. Doesn't mean I'm not a GOW, though. Plenty of other reasons for people to get off my lawn.

I think that autotune should only ever have been used to make that kind of video and never ever in music of any other kind. In other news: would it be offensive to autotune a video of Stephen Hawking? Or a step further, to straight up add autotune to his speech machine?
Discuss.
TheEvilDog:
I'm not old, I'm still in my mid-twenties, and will attempt to remain so for a couple of years yet. I figure, if you just keep your age as a general decade, it doesn't make you that old. Then again, you're only as old as you make yourself.
Music-wise, I think I've got a good, stable foundation from the 60s with The Who (There maybe only be two band members left, but goddamn, they are amazing live), moving up to 90s Grunge and Rock with Sound Garden, Jane's Addiction, Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters, with Breaking Benjamin for the late 90s/early 00s and some Audioslave thrown in there.

For me the best year is whichever was the best for Simon & Garfunkel or Manhattan Transfer. Me high school flame used her feminine viles to get me to watch "The Wall"as in Pink Floyd, which was ok, I guess. But the one and only Joplin is Scott, and (Sam the Eagle, help me here) Bach ruuuulllzzz.

I also prefer Scott to Janis in terms of Joplins, but it seems to me that her voice is very much an acquired taste (which I have not acquired) whereas it is basically universally agreed that ridiculous awesome ragtime piano is more or less the best thing.

I remember reading somewhere that many people have offered to update the software and the voice for Stephen Hawking's text-to-voice system, and that he has resisted this. I cannot, of course, find the reference now, but I will keep looking.
Edit: Now, of course, I found that he has chosen a new voice: Stephen Hawking New Voice
