Thread: Music: Male or Female?

  1. #1

    Default Music: Male or Female?

    This isn't sexist or anything, but which gender of music do you generally listen to?

    I generally listen to female artists, like Vanessa Carlton, Alanis Mor., M. Branch, Bonnie McKee, etc.

    Though I do like some male artists like Howie Day and Five for Fighting. It's like a 65/35 ratio of female to male artists that I listen to, dunno...I guess they make better music that fits my taste.

    Most of my favorite bands/musicians have male singers. I don't really favor males to females, just how it worked out, there are a lot of very good females musicians out there as well!

    Mostly male it seems. I have a good number of female singers I like as well, but they're vastly out numbered by the mens.

    Female,I dunno why, maybe its because I can sing along in-tune. (Meh voice hasn't changed yet)

    Rock and roll is largely the domain of males, so yeah.

    More female artists with mediocre voices get record deals that male artists with mediocre voices. Hence I listen mostly to male artists. Notable exceptions:

    - Gemma Hayes
    - Skin
    - Shirley Manson (Garbage)
    - Nina Simone


    And many female artists with good voices sing crap-arse songs. Christina Aguilera is a case in point.

    Depends. If you look it on like, what CDs I own, it's fairly balanced as I own popish-singer CDs and Rock Male Singer CDs. Hours of music though, is way Female, cause I listen to Evanescence a lot.

    I like female voices because I can sing along, but I like male voices in songs cause they often have really different sounding voices, like Serj Tankian from SoaD.

    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.
