I don't like rainsticks. They always just sound like rice falling in a tube. Also, I'm not a fan of the harp, mainly because my wife harps on me all day, and I can't stand the sound anymore.

Ah, I see what you mean. If we look past techno and the likes, you'll find that even with disastrous lyrics, a song can be really excellent as long as the melody and timbre of the voice singing are pleasant.traceur_ said:
Of course, you might end up with a song like the one you described, or something along the lines of:

The microphone (and, by extension, vocals) are a tricky thing in songs. So many of these new alt-rock, pop-rock and indie rock bands can't understand that the voice should match the chord being played.
I am indeed. He actually came out with (around the same time as the infamous "people only listen to Kanye because they wanted something less controversial after my record") "It was never going to happen... Publicity stunt".fix-the-spade said:
On the flip side, Curtis did actually beat Graduation in the first week, but that was in four European countries. The agreement was worldwide, but Graduation sold more in the US and UK as well.
I don't know. I'm not a band person. I can't tell an oboe from an elbow. (buh dum tush.)

I don't really hate any instruments. I hate the guitar in the hands of some teen who thinks he's hendrix because he's played a lot of Guitar Hero, but really, the guitar is a wonderful and diverse instrument. I'm sure any instrument can sound superb when played by someone who knows what they're doing.

Xylophones? I mean If a band like Slayer starts using xylophones in their music well then I will wholeheartedly agree with you (it's a blown up example, but you know where I'm getting at), but my father is really good at the Xylophone and I have to tell that some of the most beautiful sounding music to my ears has come from that instrument. I've heard some really alien sounding harmonies come out of a Xylophone, and they could be very relaxing.stuart90 said:

Plus, the William Tell Overture or Tales From The Vienna Woods wouldn't be the same without it.
Yeah, but a lot of people think that it's whiny and unpleasent. I have nothing against it thoughtraceur_ said:
