Music forums are always going to be really difficult. Either:
1.) It devolves into "Thin Lizzy Sucks", "No Thin Lizzy Rocks", which is a complete waste of time. Certainly most people who like music no there are no absolutes and saying something "sucks" is equivalent to "doesn't click with me." 2.) It doesn't devolve and turns into a boring love fest with no conversation where everyone agrees to the rectitude of everyone else's preferences and there's no discussion. I think the key is to go for relativism. The new X album rocks/sucks is kind of a pointless discussion, but "is Destroyer awesome-er than every other KISS album put together?" is something people can discuss without being adversarial. How you encourage that kind of discussion is a separate matter of course. |

I'm less tickled with the people here as a whole, but still think it's a fine site, the copycat list threads become overwhelming however and I'll take at least part of the blame, I've got 3-4 to my name in the past 18 months.
I still think we need more info in the profiles section. It'd be nice to have a better idea of who you're talking to.
