@Kim, I think you'll find the only time that the vocorder is acceptable is "Mr Blue Sky" anything is pish.
Meanwhile the thing that gets me about modern music (as we seem to be heading in that direction) is the perception that a song is only any good if it contains lots of, what I call, the woowoos. You know the thing, I blame Leona Lewis, Anne Marie and Jess Glynne. Stoppit! NOW!
Come the revolution, they'll all be up against the bloody wall, comrade
