Sorry buddy - I tried.
I'm in the Rangi camp so far. If there was a version with less auto tune and less bullshit I'd probably appreciate the song a bit more. It left me angry that I wasn't listening to Justin by himself so I'm now playing Bon Iver.
The Baby Boomers were a perfect storm in which you had people who normally would be at very different points in their lives starting families in a short period of time because of the end of World War II. We're far enough removed from that moment in time that there is no real delineation between "generations."
I think I'm on board with this too, I don't feel that there's any useful distinction you can draw between "Generation X" and "Generation Y" (which isn't to say people born during those periods are exactly the same, only that I don't think their differences can be neatly explained in generational terms).

Maybe you guys should try "Power". You get to hear his production and composition at its best, and some of his most introspective and insightful lyrics. And it's autotune-free!
Justin Vernon sounds incredible on "Lost in the World," especially as those harmonies pile on. The auto-tune adds this emotional quaver to his voice that almost feels like him singing through tears -- quite the effect it produces on a voice that clearly doesn't need it at all.
I like "Blame Game" a lot too -- it sounds incredible on headphones, and I love the piano loop.

Bon Iver uses autotune sometimes. And Ron Sexsmith had it on the Bob Rock produced album.

I'm 100% with you guys. But I'm not a big fan of micro-labeling everything. Never have been.

That's such a gen x/y hybrid thing to say.

I have to admit, I relate a lot to the commenter underneath who pinpoints these people as being slightly too young for Nevermind but exactly the right age for Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness.
