This is why the Beatles, Eric Clapton, and every other classic rock band deserves respect, they didn't need this stuff because they're actually musicians. The rock world has become filled with people with no talent but can make music because of the studio. Of course, there are many talented people like John Mayer out there, but Paula Abdul's performance at American Idol was so stupid (I heard it on Howard Stern's radio show) I almost hit my head against the dashboard laughing.
I assume you realise that the studio was one of The Beatles' main instruments...

 It depends on how it is used. I study Music Technology and it is a fantastic tool if used right.If someone has sang an entire song, while recording, almost pefectly and had one bum note, you can use auto-tune to shift the flat nopte up. Another instance where I find it okay to use if it becomes a characteristic of a song. For instance, Rihannas Disturbia, that has a great use of auto-tune on the chorus to add effect. Same with Kanye West's album, he uses it for creative reasons.

Now you take the Spice Girls for instance, 5 people who could not sing, using without auto-tune to fool people they could, where it is routed into their microphones in live concerts so they still sound studio live, now I think this is bad.

Yes, but not auto-tune. Also, they sounded rather spot on during their concert touring years so I doubt it would make much of a difference between live performances and studio performances.

 and...? Do you listen to your favorite artists because they can sing well? Or do you listen to them because they produce an overall good quality of music that you like? I listen to them because of the latter and I could care less if they use an auto-tune.

 You guys do know that Jay-Z just released a song called Death of Autotune slaying the whole thing?

 You'd be surprised how many people actually use auto-tune, like said, even great singers use it for those one or two bum notes made while recording.

I think it is pointless slating it, it is a fantastic studio plug-in when used correctly and not to hide pretty people who cannot sing at all.

 I was already aware of this for a very long time. I loved the autotune on "Believe' by Cher which is apparently the first song to use it. It's a cool tool, but I agree it shouldn't be used excessively.

Actually I would rather hear a crappy quality, imperfect song than a song that is perfected with auto-tune and what not.

Example being Neutral Milk Hotel. I would much rather listen to his voice than somebody's studio overproduced voice.

Firstly, it's Couldn't care less.

I know the bands i listen to didn't use Auto-tune, they might not have been the best vocalists in the world but that didn't matter, because the music and songwriting blew away anything these shit bands of today can do.

 Auto-tune is fine once in a blue moon. But once T-Pain made it his gimmick, everything went to hell. Other rappers and R&B artists saw how much revenue he was grossing because of it and hopped on the band wagon. It got to the point where it is butchered and rarely sounds good.
