One of my best friends is very into music. Sometimes I will introduce him to a band. Sometimes he will like it, sometimes he will not. Sometimes the reason for not liking the band is the sound of the vocalist's voice.
Another of my best friends is very into singing. When she tells me about an artist she likes, she usually likes them because they have a great voice.
As for me, I don't seem to care anywhere near as much about vocalists as these two friends. If I don't like a band or artist, it's never because of the sound of the voice. In fact, I don't think it's ever because of the sound of any individual instrument. If I don't like a band, it's because of the overall sound.
Having said that, there are certain vocalists who I particularly like (in fact, another of my friends has one of my favourite voices in the world). However, I don't think that a voice (or any individual instrument) would make me like an entire band.
I guess what I'm saying is that I tend to judge on the overall sound, whereas my two friends would judge specifically on the vocalist, and this is enough to sway their opinion either way.
I realise that this is one of my blogs that doesn't really have a point. Never mind.
