It is the main dish that dictates what the sides should be. Rock and alternative vocals are like having all vegetables for dinner. The main idea in putting together a plate of vegetables for dinner is making sure the foods are of different color. This makes the whole plate look more appetizing.

Damn...getting hungry....let me go make a sandwich.
Opera is on-par or above hip-hop with emphasis on vocals/vocals.
