the only time i've enjoyed vocals are in songs by dj rush, green velvet... ONE NIGHT IN NYC!!
i dont like vocals because they never speak to me... just melodies in general convey a universal theme which we can all relate to, and when vocals come in it kinda just looses its focus...
dont know if that makes sense or not.
lustral - everytime... that song is also really good with vocals.
oh ya and of course all the old hardcore songs are amazing and wouldnt be what they are without the high pitch vocals :) |

i like vocals, pretty much all of them.
The only ones I can't really stand are the ones that are super super super cheese, I can't even think of an example but pretty much if a track makes me burst out laughing when the vocals kick in, that's . |
I'm pretty much the same way. It's much easier for me to think of songs with vocals that I really like than it is for me to think of those that I despise. The super cheese thing definitely isn't cool. I can't think of a great example off the top of my head at the moment, but there are some that would be better without the gibberish.

the only type of vocals that i pretty much always like, are the deep male vocals in house/circuit/tribal
thick dick- welcome to the jungle
superchumbo- this beat is
sexxxy!
I can see why these types of tracks are popular at circuit parties. |

For myself I have found that a song with vocals will become boring a lot quicker than a song without vocals.
Take "As the rush comes" for example. When it first came out, I thought the track was SOOOO GOOD !! But two weeks later it got way too boring for my liking.
I can't talk about prog, but with Trance, there is only maybe two, three DJs who can produce/remix tracks with good vocals. Tiesto is obviously number 1 in that department. IMHO, PVD sucks in that respect, as I hated absolutely every one of his tracks that had vocals in them. |

I agree with you 100%. Most times I can't stand vocals but there are exceptions. But even then I get sick of those vocal tracks after a week or two. I suck at remembering vocals but I amaze myself sometimes by recognizing tracks I haven't heard in years by just hearing the first couple of seconds. I'm sure its like that for most of us. |

i was in the bars before electronic music so i was raised on vocals...i still like them but in doses...
a club like fly will play alot of vocals early and then cut back later on which is a nice mix...for me anyway...:cool: |

yep...I'd add Justine Suissa too. Certain people just have infectuous voices...like Bjork, Chris Martin (Coldplay), Iio, Tracey Thorn (Everything but the Girl), Beth Gibbons (Portishead), etc. off the top of my head.
I see vocals mainly as another instrument...I don't really concentrate on the actual words themselves or the meaning of the song. Just as a ty baseline or a cheesy sound can ruin a song, so can bad vocals. But they can also make a good song sound...PERFECT :) |

| Agree w Toran, Durafei and MarkT. Vocals can be AMAZING if the voice does what it's supposed to do, work with the song. If it's just thrown in for the sake of things, then it will be crap. |
