actually, as a general rule, i can't stand bands with male singers that wear make-up.

there's a few exceptions. and, it's not like it's a condition, or something. but, it's kind of a mark of a pretension. it usually signals that the band is about making fashion statements rather than about writing songs.

i mean, i'm not going to judge anybody on it or anything, but it's just not usually the kind of thing i'm going to get interested in...

and, fwiw, most of the female musicians i listen to don't wear much makeup, either.
