Default Gimmie a thread with vocals, big beautiful vocals

This may not be the least biased place on the web. But when it comes to muzak, how do you take your vocals? Male or Female?

I was always quite taken aback in highschool when I'd ask peoplw this q and was overwhelmingly responded with a "male" answer often citing that "chicks don't sing/can't rock as well as a guy." This completely stupefied me, and does still. I will always always take a girl singer over a guy. To me, a girl's voice is automatically more "musical" -- something I want to hear. What could possibly make the Beatles better?

You guessed it.

Then the "girls can't rock" part is equally dumb. If you find a girl and a guy whose scientifically calculated base "rock quotient"are equal --plant that chick in a band the band is 7 times more "rawk" automatically than if it had the guy. And its not just rock. If I wanna hear a folk acoustic song, why do I wanna hear a shitty hair-do'd dude whine and moan?

Anyway, what do you normally prefer?

I prefer female vocals over male vocals, and the reasons
are almost exactly the same as you do have TJ, i also prefer the more
musical tone of womans voice then mens croaning and moaning. Of course there are good male singers also, but if i would have to re-check my playinglist almost 89 percent of it consist only and i mean only female singers.

I'm the same, I clearly prefer female vocals. I usually find them less boring. I'm not completely against male vocals and there are a few vocalists I really love, but overall, my media library is about 85% female.

I definitely prefer females when it comes to Asian singers, but as for vocalists of my native tongue, I'm not quite as sure. There are a few men that I think sing amazingly... but I suppose I'll go with women anyway. I'm now thinking of some awesome English-speaking female singers too.

Dames. Juanita Stein and PJ Harvey make this an easy choice based on what I mostly listen to. I mean, who would honestly say Julian Casablancas is a good singer?

It depends on the song. I like both male and female vocals equally cuz depending on the song a male might do better at it than a female or vice versa. For instance. Nakashima Mika has nice vocals, but I like Hyde's version of the song Glamorous Sky better. Prolly cuz he wrote the song in the first place. <_< >_> I don't know if I'm making any sense, so I'll just reiterate: I think it depends on the song and style of the music.
