I created a topic going further into recording expectations.
But I try to cover so much area at once at times that I may not be clear enough. And I'm a terrible typest and not too good with putting myself in written form.

My questions would be is how much credentials are looked at and how far can someone color outside of the genres that you posted that are accepted?

There are people that might not have much relative skill at songwriting, or even singing for that matter but have that sound.
So how important are professional, conventional type of methods?
I also know how you would see the value of the best recorded representation. But many creative musicians like turning a song inside out anyway.
And sometimes the plain is the best representation and clearest of where a song could go.

Interesting thread and insights!
