Speaking as a millennial, they almost always suck.
Greta Van Fleet doesn’t do Led Zep covers on their tour. So what the guy’s voice sounds like Robert Plant?
Millennials are in their mid 20s to 30s by now. They are overwhelmingly leftist, arrogant, and messed up. They accept responsibility for nothing in their lives. And they are not discarding their politics as they age. AOC is their type of gal.
“Thinking folk”, including those of us who are technically part of that generation but share very few traits in common with the majority, bash the millennial generation for good reason.
From what I have heard they try too much to be like Led Zeppelin. That’s kind of freaky.
If a human takes the credit for the AI’s work, it would be a lie.
If a singer literally cannot carry a tune as written, and must be auto-tuned, it is a fake.
Robots would be better.
There are already software that can put together music just like hollywood script software puts out the sameness in tv and movie shows.
These 2 guys wrote most of today’s awful music.
Every song you love was written by the same two guys

5 Annoying Trends That Make Every Movie Look the Same

I have been collaborating with an AI named Aimee. She is the avatar of a piece of iOS software called YouCompose.
From the intro on the website...
You give her your melodies and decide how she should handle them. Aimée then finishes your composition, doing all the hard work that normally takes hours, but now is done in seconds... Apart from being an app that is fun to play with, YouCompose is of great educational value as well. Many teachers from around the world use YouCompose in their harmony, composition and orchestration classes.
Aimée was inspired by the following books:

I am strictly an amateur. I make music for my own amusement.
I am able to input a melody and get harmony and counterpoint out of the app. I them shape the results in the mix. What I get at the end is far better than anything I can make on my lonesome.

Lyrics, on the other hand are another matter. Give the fact that most of the lyrics written for the genres of progressive and psychedelic rock were, (IMHO) worthless dreck, whatever an AI comes up with can’t be any worse.
On the topic of synthesized vocalists I would be remiss in not mentioning the Vocaloids. By far the most popular of which is Hatsune Miku. She has appeared in somewhere around a half million songs in the last ten years. She does not go on stage drunk or stoned out of her mind, she does not throw tantrums or behave like a “star”, she is software.
She has appeared onstage with her own band as wekk as the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Isao Tomita and the Kodo Drummers.

Ha ha ha! It's funny that you say that, as I worked with his daughter for 3 years on a TV series shot here in Denver. She was a cutie!
The vocalist sounds like Plant, the guitarist tries to sound like Page, the bassist mimics Jones, and the drummer tries to hit the skins like Bonzo, but they aren’t trying to sound like Zep and don’t play cover tunes.
Anything you say, FRiend.
Although I sometimes prefer Howard Shore, James Newton Howard, Rupert Gregson-Williams, or Alan Silvestri for listening pleasure, I generally agree with that opinion.
I sang in the West Coast premiere of The Lord of the Rings in Concert, so I am biased in his favor. It was one of the highlights of my semi-career as a high-end chorister.
Although the movie was officially panned, I thought Batman v. Superman actually worked fairly well, and I thought the score was very effective.
In the recent movie “They Shall Not Grow Old” (made from original WWI footage - unbelievable movie!!) at the end they have the song “Mademoiselle from Armentières” running during the closing credits of the film.
It was being put together in New Zealand iirc and they originally didn't have any music for the credits. The producer thought it needed something. So he put out the call to the British Embassy and they got together a bunch of men that could carry a note to sing it (acapella)! IIRC he said it was still a common song so they all knew it.
So true. If you want to hear new fresh bands, there are ways, probably even in smaller metropolitan areas. My son sees bands in such small venues sometimes that he gets their t shirts for free, and gets to talk to the bands. While he is studying and interning to be in the music business, he’s also started singing at clubs himself....
