Musicbanter Improvement Thread

Well, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt
and genuinely try to recommend something that
could be down their musical alleyway. But, it's
soon easy to realize whether they're genuinely
interested by watching what they do after they've
been offered suggestions. Either they've had their
"look my way" moment fulfilled and lose interest
or they're actually running with the ball that was
given to them by others.

Yes.

Definitely. Really surprised you liked Crazy Horses. Such a goofy tune but it grooves.

Lazy people get to have music recommended to them that they don't have to search for themselves, and the recommendees have an opportunity to pretentiously flex their musical knowledge on strangers over the internet. It's a win-win.

I really is, I love dishing out a ton of recommendations, even if they happen to not like what I recommend.

So you find it odd that people at a music forum want to gather recommendations for music albums they've probably never heard? And they're going to people that tend to have a pretty good grasp on what sounds good? Yeah man, we should just stop that altogether. How dare we share our music interests with one another. What is this, a music forum?

I say we gather up these 'recommend me something' people and have em all walk the (my) plank.

~~MicShazam~~ · 11-20-2018, 02:50 PM

Am I off the hook if I start a thread where I refuse to listen to any music shown to me by other members?

I think that 1 stickied music recommendation thread per genre is enough. If every f*cking member made one, then this place would be overrun.
