In electronic music, it can be done well, and it should be done more really..
Some of Juan Atkins' best tracks feature his vocals (I See The Light, Pick Up
The Flow, No UFOs)..Gerald, Aphex (guest vocals only <bg>) and Kraftwerk
spring to mind too, not to mention most old electro, Chicago house and acid.
And try and tell me that Qmart by 808 State and Bjork isn't a sublime piece
of music!
But then, Beastie Boys could make some great records, if it wasn't for their
vocals..
Cheerio!
