There's other great music out there to discuss, you know. Seriously, I have yet to see people raving about music by the Mars Volta, Foals, Amadou and Miriam, Seymour Bits, or Georgie James. They may not sound like the folks some of you worship, but it may hit you in a different way if you gave it a chance.

Seriously though, all these damn Madonna, MJ, Janet, Britney, George Michael, and whoever else you like threads are becoming annoying a repetitive. Let's talk about some new and undiscovered artists. Or let's talk about some other genres like Punk, Metal, New Wave, Reggae, Soca, Trip-Hop, Ska, Afro-Beat, etc. Maybe I'm generalizing or whatever, but I've been coming here on this forum for 5 years to explore new sounds and find out what everyone else is digging. But lately I've been seeing people either on nostalgic trips or raving about their favorite pop tarts. I know about these Pop acts already. And they're not bad either, but there's more stuff out there to dig too.

Don't click on those threads?

it is hard to find the treasure in the trove...

but...such is life...cha know?

Yeah or better yet, why don't you start threads about artists or genres that you like? I'm always interested in hearing new or different types of artists/music.

Well, yeah I try to avoid those threads. But I'd like to click on more threads with folks presenting something new, interesting, and exciting in music. And I'm not seeing that too much.

You know what, I do that and more often than not, it just falls on deaf ears.

I constantly bring up bands like The Dismemberment Plan, who were amazing, but all I'm getting are tumbleweeds.

NWF said:

Could I make a thread about The Jam?

NWF said:

Ok we understand that you have more sophisticated taste. Feel free to start threads on any of the acts you've mentioned and you officially have my permission to ignore American pop acts.

It's time you became the teacher.

can i be your teacher?

"I THINK THE ORG SHOULD BE A CERTAIN WAY BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO MAKING IT THE WAY I WANT."

Why do you think I hardly post in this forum anymore?

whenever i made a thread about something new that i wanted to let
people know about it got like 10 replies in 2 weeks. i don't bother to
do that anymore so i just browse around.

IstenSzek said:

Exactly. Now I just have conversations in my head with myself about my favorite artists or new bands that I'm into. It's much more rewarding.

minneapolisgenius said:

you might wanna get that checked out

bboy87 said:

No I like it a lot.

let's have a thread on SYNTHPOP, VISUAL KEI AND GLAM ROCK(70's)

O.K., when my CD comes out this summer I better see a MAJOR discussion going on over here.

After all these years,
Beat It still kicks ass.

minneapolisgenius said:

All the threads I start around here bomb and it makes me think I have an awkward taste in music.....oh well....

on the other hand, all my threads in GD bomb as well.....

abierman said:

Me too. In any forum. Although I completely forgot until just yesterday that this was still a Prince site and that there's a whole forum dedicated just to him. Maybe I should start over again in there with the crazies.

I seriously wish I could find more "new" music to get excited about.I mainly listen to the amazing music that I grew up with.
