Music: Male or Female?

[escobert]

Male.

[fire_of_avalon]

Mostly male, as there aren't a great many female rock singers out there I consider "good". However, in other musical categories, I do find the numbers are about equal, or in the case of celtic/folk/traditional music, I prefer females overwhelmingly. But as for what I listen too most of the time, male.

I'm surprised no one mentioned any R&B or hip-hop artists. No wait...this is a Final Fantasy forum, *slaps self*

Anyways, I generally like male artists more when it comes to rap and R&B. KCi and Jojo from the 90's were great, so were Bone Thugs N' Harmony, as well as Tupac. Outkast is pretty good, and Eminem.

There are very few R&B artists that I like, but Alicia Keys is such a great talent. It's so hard to have a strong voice and play the piano at the same time, but that's what she has. Maybe not nearly as strong as Aguilera's, but it's still a great voice. Some artists compromise their voice a bit to play the piano simultaneously like Tori Amos or Vanessa Carlton, but I think it works out better. I mean their music is better than Kelly Clarkson's or Aguilera's.

Excuse me

Didn't I mention Grace Jones?
She's r'n'b/ rock/ punk/ soul/ reggae.

Male. Most of the rock bands out there are male. All the female-rock groups that I've listened to have...sucked. No offense to anyone else, but I just....don't like it. I think male voices fit better, at least with the type of stuff that I listen to.

Not that I know of. Mariah Carey use to be good...but she's like, a housewife now. But the main R&B artist I listen to is Alicia Keys, other than that there isn't many of them out there that appease me...well, maybe Usher.

MY GOD or in this case GODDESS.

[Dingo Jellybean]

Ah, the picture didn't load up for me...but eh.

Grace Jones is okay...not really a big fan of her or anything.

[TasteyPies]

I listen to whatever as long as it doesn't suck. I guess mostly guys though.

[theundeadhero]

Eh?

Anyway, as far as The Distillers go, I like them fine, but if you want some more female punk (and better), try Naked Aggression/Meet the Virus (same band, name change because of the death of a member), The N.Y. Rel-x, The Devotchkas, All or Nothing H.C., and The Voids.

I think the majority of chick singers I like are Japanese... with the exclusions of the bands listed above and Janis Joplin.

I meant it was lazy because I just copied and pasted instead of writing something of my own. Thanx for the band tips though.

Ah, I got confused. xD

Anytime. Half of my very large music library is punk, so I'm pretty knowledgable on it.

[Agent Proto]

Mostly Male.

Though, there are some female artists I don't mind at all.

[jrgen]

Out of all the bands I listen to there is only one with a female band member
and she doesn't even sing, she plays the violin.
I mostly listen to metal and female band members aren't that common in this genre.
I just don't like female vocals as much as male vocals.
I've also never heard any really good song composed by a woman.

[Project G]

I'm fed up with boy bands like busted

[SomethingBig]

Female for me. I lowv my J-Pop female idols.
