For every genuine response to the OP, there appear to be about half a dozen posts consisting of nitpicking, deliberately misunderstanding the question, etc. My interpretation of the OP was that it is asking who is your single favourite musician or band. What's so hard about that?
I felt the same little nit-pick that you notice happens on the site. I tried to start a thread about something that I'm currently interested in, and Murphy's Law prevailed, and I mess-upped the opening post. I decided to chuck it after the negative feedback. I thought to myself no worries I do something else with it. You have to be like a duck and let it roll off your back like water.

Funny, when I'm trying to decide whether or not I like a piece of music, that number denoting the release date plays little or no part in forming my opinion.
Ten minutes later the same person start a thread about ....dates! The oldest dates for recorded music they own.

I love that Lu-Cuss guy's music. By far the greatest artist of our generation, and maybe of all time.

Well, I suppose that's better than having a sense of self-loathing.

Hey, I don't mind people taking the occasional dig at the OP. I have done it myself. It's just that the ratio of genuine posts to smartarse posts seems so ridiculously low.

Bob you are fairly new around here and you new guys may not get this but this community has a certain mindset that was here before you and it's best to acclimate to it than to fight it. Over time hopefully you'll see it has to be that way to keep this forum interesting.

There's nothing stopping you from taking threads seriously but don't expect old members who already seen these threads to take them as seriously as you.

I sincerely believe that this thread was made for painters and sculptors.
