Do You Like or Dislike Women in Bands/as Singers

I'll take Sarah Cracknell, Trish Keenan & Laetitia Sadier over any indie dreck that's fashionable this week.

I'm also mystified by what the word "solid" is supposed to mean in regards to vocals. Someone shed some light on that?

I'm a huge Broadcast fan. I was legitimately sad when I found out she passed away. I'm hoping to see at least one posthumous album.

I was wondering that myself, actually.

I don't get it either, but to each their own, I guess.

Yeah I was always into them before she died, but ever since then I've really been listening to them a lot more than I used to.
I find it strange that they always seemed quite a prolific band and yet after Tender Buttons in 2005 hardly anything at all.
I'm hoping they have something lying around.

I don't think it's a question of talent for most people. More a question of taste. Someone was talking about whether or not the could identify with the vocals or something - which I think holds true with me also to some degree.

There probably are some people who are basically sexist about which bands and performers they like, but to confine yourself to one gender of singers would be just moronic.

At the same time to call someone sexist because they have a tendency to prefer male singers would also be moronic (depending on the reasons that person has)

And also, shouldn't singers and instrumentals be totally different questions? Gender influences a singers voice greatly, but as far as I can tell has nothing to do with a persons ability to play any instrument.

They always had a lot of internal band drama. It eventually got paired down to just Trish and James Cargill. Have you heard Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age? It's really damn good.

yeah no:

Also, s_k, women often do better vocals then men do. Kindly educate yourself, or **** off.
