Make your vote, and state the reason. Added one more vote option.

go.

in response to:

The "What are you listening to?" thread is killing the music forum

*SpaceGhost* · 11-12-04

Im actually gonna say leave it be,I'll just add some commentary to each post to make it more interesting.

(antihero) · 11-12-04

i'm not gonna vote, cuz i don't like any of those

i agree with SpaceGhost's sentiments, though. it'd decrease random post-whoring.

It requires no thought and no discussion.

I vote that we get rid of that damn thread, and actually start using our brains.

This does bring up a good point, but I have also added my 2 cents into my posts and there are conversations in the thread. I say leave it and just continue to make other threads on Music discustions. Personially, I am gonna post what Im listening to and why I like that song, give my input.

Just "unsticky" it. It's not like it's a total waste of space. I actually get ideas of what music to download from there.

One · 11-13-04

yep, I actually check it out for new ideas from time to time myself.

crimsonnyte · 11-13-04

I don't have a problem with it as it is. I only post there when I'm bored and like was mentioned, it does give you ideas of other music to listen to that you might not have known about.

(antihero) · 11-13-04

How would you get an idea of what to listen to? It's just a list of songs. Do you get ideas from the people you know only listen to one kind of music?

Edge · 11-13-04

I disagree. Is it only one kind? Each artist is different. Maybe most songs are one gendre but still I am always finding new bands I never knew here.

Punisher · 11-13-04

which is kinda my point... I add what Im listening too but also a little bit extra, why im listening to it or what else I like to listen to. Give reasons... just posting
"Tenacious D - Tribute"
isn't much to read... add some flava into your posts people

That's not what I meant at all. I meant, do you take musical advice from people you know only listen to a certain kind of music? Otherwise, what good is a long list of names? It doesn't tell you anything.

obviously, if they're stating it's helpful...then to their brains, it's helpful.

Abigor · 11-14-04

Leave it the fuck alone! I love that thread! If you kill it, I will be forced to kill you, damn it! *Is not joking one bit*

One · 11-14-04

heh ... you should not say things like that

i'm sure at least one of us is scared... maybe.
And why do you love it?

Iodine · 11-14-04

i follow the majority (don't care)

*SpaceGhost* · 11-14-04

It takes a while to load when you click it,is it because of the many replies it has?(I have roadrunner cable)I think it is reasonable to unsticky the thread,and make a new one.Its over 5,700 replies long.

yes i think so. on some boards they close threads that reach a certain number of replies, cos they get too slow...

Sure if that would help me expand my knowledge of bands in that kind of music.
