In the age of autotune and production line music
It's good to take time out and reminisce about the music of yesteryear, when music was as simple as a man and his guitar, nothing more, nothing less.
This thread goes out to the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuT8vZSN0gw]the singer/songwriters of an age gone by[/url]
and to those [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfAS6nwYc9g]who try and carry on their legacy[/url]

And wow, I saw Annuals perform in Durham, NC a few months back with my sister.[/quote]
Lucky! I haven't seen them live. There are drawbacks to not living in the states..
[quote=Zora]Auto-tune makes the songs sound better sometimes. Some use it because they don't have a high enough octave or they have a terrible voice and some use it to enhance their song in a good way.

Whether or not it sounds better is up to opinion, isn't it? Most people who enter this thread are going to prefer her acoustic singing.

Listening to this now so I thought I'd post it.
The good music is still out there. It's just that the top viewed music videos on youtube are all crap. There's plenty of other ways to find great music.[/quote]
That's true but it would be nice to hear good music on the radio again
[quote=dimo]Can't stand the first song, sounds like almost all other over-production garbage that fills our tv's and radio's. But hey, that's just me.[/quote]

I have yet to hear a decent autotune song. It saddens me that a whole generation of people will grow up thinking this is the standard for music.
I'm not a fan of auto tune because of how it sounds. I find it annoying.
However, in defense of the musicians, you can't use auto tune if you can't sing in key, so you can't say they're BAD singers..
though it's possible they're not as good as others.
Well sure it's autotuned. But it sounds [b]good[/b] autotuned.
In my opinion.
