You seem like a fine, friendly dude but a "top 1000 bands" with a weekly band of the week where you expect people to listen to entire discographies is all just silly, basically I and the rest of us probably think you should just tone it back and ease yourself into the forum by commenting in existing threads rather than trying out these ridiculous projects a week within registering.
It's kind of this yes. Even posting a list of 1000 bands, line by line, made this thread an annoyance to get into until page 2 arrived, as you had to page down or ctrl end unless you wanted to scroll, scroll, scroll ... a thousand lines is a long way to scroll. It just annoys people having to do this every time.

It's a little ambitious, but if you want to do it, I would suggest checking out our Journals Section, as something like this would be better suited to that section. I am already well into the history of progressive rock, 1001 albums you should hear before you die and various discographies in my journals, so if you posted there you might not get as much negative feedback, plus if you actually start writing about the artistes more people may be interested.

I still seriously doubt though that anyone is going to listen to a full discog a week, as you seem to want people to. Most may listen to what you have to say when you do it (if you do it) but I can't see a huge number of people (or anyone really) jumping on board. It's hard enough to get people to listen to one album a week, never mind a whole discography.

But yeah: as YD says, join in the discussions (I see you have already, but maybe outside of the GnR idea) and get to know us. We may not seem such *******s then. Or we may. Who knows. But at least you'll get to interact with us a little more.

Also, again, for the love of god, spoilers on that OP? Now that we're on page two it's not so bad but really, it's a pain going past all those albums. A simple spoiler tag would sort it.
