Nothing arbitrary about it. The rule would not have been needed had you not gone Chicken Hunting as you always do.

Yeah, and if MicShaz is told one song per artist only, he'll agree to that, unlike you, who always think your way is the only way. Now **** off or I won't even listen to those ICP tracks at all.
Sigh. In the interest of you furthering your ICP knowledge I will chill. For now. But you know how this goes.

Like people who "like Heavy Metal" but are only into Metallica.
No, throwing a wide net on a genre is good for dipping your toes in, but at some point you're going to need to delve deeper into an artist's discography or else you're going to have a pretty shallow understanding of a genre and will likely not be very invested in it.
