I was listening to some John McLean last night, what a golden voice. No digital correction needed there. Almost perfect pitch with just that tiny smidgen of occasional inaccuracy which makes a performance human. I also like when vocal harmonies are just that little bit out rhythm-wise. It makes it feel like a real performance instead of an effect. All things which would be immediately Melodyned out of existence by most of today's producers.

.....yet, hit a couple of flat notes in the songs forum and everyone will let you know that it needs pitch correction. It seems to be expected these days that those couple of flat notes need to be perfected.

Well, Herb certainly will

Indeed. Another reason why I can hardly find recent records that I enjoy - those tuned harmonies are the next worst thing after brickwall limiting.
