Good songs ruined by vocals

Whether by the original artist or through bootleg later on...

Ron van den Beuken - Timeless

Soul Central - Strings Of Life

Madelyne - Beautiful Child (Hiver & Hammer Remix) - this one just came up in chat last night
Gouryella - Walhalla (fortunately we got instrumentals)
Vincent De Moor - Between 2 fires (thank god for armins dub)
Solar Stone - Seven Cities (this time fuck you armin)
Vibrasphere - Floating Free (no need really)
pvd/second sun - crush (much better with only 'i know u want me' every so often than the whole lot
Masters & Nickson - 5th Dimension (fine as it was, no need to add rent a vocal suissa)

and many more which im sure will be added

tocas miracle

hybrid - if i survive has awful female vocals. i really like the version with male vocals that was featured in one of their sets a few years back.

Kyau vs Albert - Velvet Morning(Original mix)

the female vocal line is horrid

Super8 & Tab - Won't sleep tonight

Leonid Rudenko - Summerfish

"Summerfish... makes me feel like dancin' with my first kiss!"... wtf?

I only knew the non-vocal version.

the new remix obviously will have them fitting because it will have been made WITH them however. the original was instrumental and only had them added after it got signed, so of course in this new case they will fit, it'd be stupid if they didn't.

jeah you are right here

Tilt - Butterfly

and most songs with maria nayler's vocals on them

Hey, i used to dance to Toca Me. It was good lol (the original instrumental that is)

Although I'm a huge fan of epic house and the vocals used in tracks from that genre have grown on me, I do not like the vocals in "Bedrock - For what you dream of". That song would pretty much be perfect without them.

Two tracks that come to mind are Vincent De Moor's vocal version of Fly Away and that vocal version of Plastic Boy's Live Another Life.

does 'most' exclude angry skies? that's one of my favourite vocal tracks ever (terrestrial vox mix 2)


i think the full vocal mix of communication part 2 rules on high here, although some others that come to mind:

ronald van gelderen - crying out
pink flood - insecurity (shane 54 remix) [although i like the tune so much i've come to get used to them]
ronski speed vs stoneface & terminal - soulseeker (sf&t mix) [thank fuck there was a dub!]
tom porcell - not tonight (bias brothers remix)
sensorica - baikonur spaceport (more spoken sample than vocal but seriously WTF: http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF1253011-02-01-01.mp3)

i do too. i'm by no means a suissa fan (besides clear blue water & autumn tactics) but those vocals worked for me, even on the original (helps the first time i heard the tune was with the vocal, i guess). it may be pink fluffy unicorn trance at its pinnacle but it has a kind of naive, childlike & unpretentious feel about it i find oddly alluring..

although saying that, it depends on how much you read into lyrics but they've always struck me as having a subtle daker side. 'they keep me in a dark room / so i can have my visions' strike me as the words of a clinically insane person who's been locked away for believing in a utopian future / eternal life. it's likely this was completely unintended by whoever wrote them but still, it struck a chord. i've had the acapella for years now & wanted to make something decent of it, just never really gotten round to committing myself

Oh yeah, and nearly every song with a spoken word by some black preacher guy... such an overused and unnecessary cliche.

John Dahlback feat Andy P - Late Night Worries(King Unique No Worries Mix)

"Hello, everyone. My name is Perception; my parents are Cass and Slide. I used to be a good song. Then some gal gave me Useless Vocals, and now my parents have disowned me."

Horse - Careful (The 12" Mixes)

Please tell me this isn't true.

I gotta disagree.
The vocals in Perception and Out there (5th Dimension) are pretty good, imo.
