Also be nice, everyone. This is for funsies not fightsies.

Mine is that Prince is suuuuuper overrated and merely a meh songwriter at best.

    There are some breakout albums when a band got signed by a major label full of pitch correction on the vocals and no one cared and they still have their “100% real” reputation intact.

    Do you have any examples?

      Nearly anything recorded in the last 20 years has some amount of auto tune. Most people think auto tune is that weird vocoder shit. That's not it. Auto tune is exactly what it says: it tunes your actual voice or notes being played. It also takes away all inflection and natural imperfections and makes voices sound bland.

      Once you hear it, you can't unhear it.

        Yeah, ive even heard it in classical albums and it ruins shit so damn fast. People straight toning a note are almost never going to me exactly in tune, and in fact composers using that as colour is a key technique.

      One of my favourite bands and albums, but Rise Against - Siren Song of the Counter Culture. So overproduced. But it was their first album on a major label (Geffen I think) and they thought they would be tossed in the trash afterwards so I can understand it.
