there's a good reason why the bulk of my posts worth reading are in the 'talk instruments' subforum. there have been a few attempts at discussion revolving more around the philosophy of playing instruments, they usually don't fly too far, mainly because after about 2-3 days everything has been covered between the 2-3 people participating in the thread. i think one of main limiting factors is the lack of musicians on the site who see a clear distinction between playing music and playing songs. not that one is better than the other, more like the difference between adolescence and adulthood.

then again, once you've reached that point you should know how to reach your own goals and can specify your own targets so where would a discussion really lead?

album discussions can be fun at times, but 'discussions' that revolve around listing favourites re: band don't really strike me as something worth much of my time.

but really, if there's a type of thread you'd like to see why not start that actual thread instead of one griping about the lack of that kind of thread?
