Why do so man musicians use synthesizers these days?

Question

Can't they just do a duet with Steven Hawkings or something

Answer 1

It ain't as bad as bands playing guitars without doing solos.

Answer 2

Synthesizers have been around since Micky Dolenz of The Monkees bought one of the very first Moog synthesizers and used it for Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. in 1967, that same year The Doors used the moog for their Strange Days album and the rest is history. As a Rivethead I love synthesizers, more musicians should use them, Steven Hawkings be damned!

Answer 3

Many male singers are under pressure to be successful and honestly, not all of them can sing. AutoTune helps mitigate that

Answer 4

Pink Floyd did that in the song "Keep Talking"

Answer 5

It all started with a band called Throbbing Gristle....
