Simple guide to musical genres:
- Pop: The singer can’t hold a tune in a bucket, so the producer fixes it with auto-tune. When they tour, all the vocals are lip-synched.
- Indie: The singer can’t hold a tune in a bucket, so sings completely out of tune both on record and live. Because that’s “for real”.
- Rock: The singer can’t hold a tune in a bucket, so gets sacked from the band before they get past the toilet circuit. They keep auditioning replacements until they manage to find someone who can actually sing.
Or am I just getting cynical in my old age?
“Indie: The singer can’t hold a tune in a bucket, so sings completely out of tune both on record and live.”- and he gets called a “genius” for his crappy singing.
Rap: Singer? What’s a singer?
Prog: Everyone’s so busy listening to the solos or the fact that the rhythm section can play in 13/8 that nobody notices if the singer can hold a tune in a bucket or not.
Trad Folk: See “Indie”
Noise: There’s no tune. There isn’t even a bucket for it to be carried in.
Guns and Roses – The singer is having trouble with tunes because the guitar player insists on wearing the bucket on his head….
Pop – the drummer hits things,
Rock – the drummer hits things,
Indie – the drummer hits things,
Rap – they use a machine,
