And on another point; computer chips are not musical instruments.

But that's at least 80% of what's on the airwaves that I hear next to me at the traffic lights. What horrendous sonic torture to anyone not being born half deaf.

Computer chip 'percussion' and auto-tune 'singing' is what's being foisted upon us now, without relent.

My ears can't handle that sort of sonic fingernail/chalkboard onslaught from the outset, so pardon me for not being able to get to such apparently lesser considerations in the matter as musical merit.

Because, of course, Kraftwerk, The White Noise, Weather Report, Gary Numan, Magazine, Laurie Anderson, Front 242, Isao Tomita, Wendy Carlos, Edgar Winter, The Who, Nine Inch Nails, Pink Floyd, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Alice Cooper, Cher, Donna Summer, John Carpenter, The Cure, George Clinton, Hawkwind, and anybody else who's ever used an synthesiser or an electronically treated vocal on a record or on stage have only ever recoded worthless shit?
(Seriously, don't talk such bollocks.)

It's a bollocks opinion, so small wonder you're trying to backtrack on it now.

About ten of the acts in that list use electronic percussion. The only song by Laurie Anderson anybody can name (or for that matter even remember hearing) is a novelty song constructed around a gimmicky electronically treated vocal, which is a production gimmick Kraftwerk, Numan, Front 242, the Floyd, and George Clinton have all resorted to on occasion (so, come to that, have Neil Young and The Buzzcocks).

But go on then: explain how autotuning and drum machines are at fault for the drivel people like Clean Bandit or Susan Boyle shit all over the airwaves. Shit music is made by talentless shits, regardless of the equipment used. For some reason you prefer to blame the means of production than to accept that twats will make twatty music however they record it. Myself, I find hearing yet another cunt off a television "talent" show bleating whinily over an acoustic guitar a lot more offensive than any amount of autotuned electronic pop fluff. All of the most irritating hipster earwax and dull MOR slop uses proper instruments, and the guilty parties have the cheek to brag about this as though it was a good thing, rather than acting embarrassed that they've ignored every cultural and technological development in pop music since Johnny Ray recorded Cry. FFS: even that sorry little cockwomble Beiber won't shut up how he started out as a busker and can play his own guitar. Maybe if they autotuned that dickhead it'd hide the fact that he's lost his voice since his balls dropped.
