If you do shit on my taste, mind giving me some album recs that are like Exodus?

My RYM.

You're too new to music to really criticize, but here's some Exodus recs for you...

Spoiler for This should keep you going for a while.:

If you like BBB then it wouldn't make any sense not to listen to this, too bad they've hardly any material

Even though I haven't been here for too long, I've definitely noticed this. Also, people tend to avoid band threads about bands they don't know. Especially if it has 0 posts in it.
The best music ''forum'' I've been to, surprisingly is the ''Let's Talk Music'' subreddit.

You know, I wonder what Bat lord looks like.

There are an undefined number of people here that are too preoccupied with going out of their way to negatively criticize people for what they listen to. There's a constructive way to do it, and then there's just that off-putting, music superiority snobbery.

It isn't something that can happen, but I believe people need to stop with all this back and forth with who has better taste in music than who. When there's a debate on musical taste, bringing that up just makes anyone look a bit petty, and it works against whoever is trying to make a point in the debate, so much so that almost anything said by who is making that claim, is just moot or can't be taken seriously.

All of that is one reason why I typically avoid debating anything, with anyone here. Because I know at some point, someone is going to start their little superiority trip because they listen to Nick Cave (I really like that guys music by the way, just starting listening last night...) or whoever else they listen to, where they feel entitled to say that my taste, or your taste, is juvenile. That sh*t just pisses me off...

As far as staying away from band threads largely unknown to most, I think that maybe those threads get no reply due to having nothing to say about the band. Or if the band is familiar, maybe they've nothing good to say about that band, so they just refrain from posting so there's not some flame war, I don't know. But yes, I think anyone here needs to start being more willing to check out any thread that they're unfamiliar with, because there's that chance that not only will they discover a new band to listen to, but also find people with things in common.

All of that though is just me being optimistic, or having that positive outlook. People will do, and say what they please and typically, peoples feelings aren't held in account.

@Wpnfire: You should expand your musical horizons a bit. The bands you listen to tend to be pretty bitchin', but if I'm not mistaken, they're just a handful of thrash/extreme metal bands with some classic metal and dad rock thrown in there - according to your Last.fm, you've played 294 artists in almost a year. I'm certainly not a musical guru (my taste is very much still in a fetal stage), but here's some stuff I dig that you might dig as well:

Hey Briks, how do I get that nifty little box there that lists songs you've listened to recently?

Thusly:

[last.fm.charts=chart style]Last.fm username[/last.fm.charts]

So in my case, that's:

[last.fm.charts=brikspink]lilbrotherbriks[/last.fm.charts]
