Like Sorcha says, because they're fun.

Just because you are not very good, it doesn't mean that you don't want to sing, and dammit, where else can you sing? Where else can you get constuctive criticism, and have fun doing it.

Maybe this thread is another manifestation of the modern attitude that you find when you try to buy a recording device. "You want a MP3 player, sir!" "No I don't, I want something I can record WITH." "You can record with an MP3 player, sir!" "No you can't. You can only copy recordings with it." "Ah, you want the Bloggsworth. I'll order you one. They are $3200!."


I remember tape recorders.
