Current pop music sucks donkey balls.

That's a little harsh, but not far off the mark. For me, I lost the faith in music when I learned of the existence of Antares Auto-Tune software and how it was used to "fix" vocal tracks. From that point (Spring 1997) I stopped listening to anything made thereafter because I could not trust the authenticity of the skill of the performer as opposed to the skill of the production engineer. My definition of art, is something that I can't do/learn to do for myself. I can't sing a lick, but with Auto-Tune, you'd thing I was the next Frank Sinatra. Even today, it is used in live performances to fix the vocals of washed up singers on the road.

So who is really is talented, and who has good staff? If record does not say that they didn't use Auto-Tune, then it's not worth entertaining as art.
