I know MB gets a ton of hate, but I cant imagine anyone in their right mind hating it because of it's vocals. And I do agree with Mike when he says MB's production was popular for its time. Just like in 15 years, people will be looking back on TEOM and likely E=MC2 saying how it's dated, and cheesy in comparison to whatever is "hot" at the moment. ::rolls eyes::

I don't think you could say TEOM is "dated" at all. Aside from some of the upbeat stuff (e.g. TTF) that could sound that, the songs were actually created with a retro-classic-yet-new feel that makes them sound timeless, really. Anyway, the issue with MB is really not that it's dated (really, you could only say that about the 2 C&C contributions) as that type of ballad (i.e. Hero), even if it's not what radio is into right now, tends to far outlive some of the songs most consider less "cheesy/schmaltzy".
