Are you listening to the recommendations?

[JayKeeley]

???

 

[skeptik]

Looks like everyone's unanimous thusfar.

 

[Dark One]

For the most part, yes, but I had to go with "not always" because I'm not really interested in hearing "non-metal" or at least "non-rock" songs in these threads. It's a metal board.

 

[lizard]

if it has some title like "Diabolical Diabolicies" I don't bother, because if the band doesn't spend the effort on a title that makes any sense, why should I

[lizard]

don't worry son, I'm just an old man set in his ways

 

[Demilich]

you miss a lot of great music with that way of thinking imo

 

[skeptik]

yeah like jewslaughter

 

[JayKeeley]

Based on the first go-round and the immediate poll results, are we unanimous on the following?

1 - If you want people to listen, you've got a better chance of grabbing their attention if it at least belongs to the "heavy metal" category in some shape or form or genre.

2 - You are trying to "sell" your recommendation -- prior to people deciding whether to download, your description has to bowl them over.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I listen to most the metal recommendations.

 

[JayKeeley]

I clicked the second choice, but to be honest, I only listen to about 80% of what's posted.

 

[Doom]

I voted the second option but only the first part is true since I don't always post my thoughts.

Part of me thinks it would be a better idea to insist everyone has to recommend metal to be honest, then people might participate more. But then there has been some cool non-metal recommended in this round and the last so...

 

[Necromunchkin]

I do, depending on the descriptions, but I'll check out anything I'm not familliar with. I think these recos are stellar opportunities.

 

[Dark One]

I clicked the second choice, but to be honest, I only listen to about 80% of what's posted.

Yeah, that's why I chose the third option because it started out "Not Always" which immediately disqualified the other choices for me.

 

[KILL TULLY]

I almost always listen, but don't always post, no option for that

 

[Chromatose]

For the most part, yes, but I had to go with "not always" because I'm not really interested in hearing "metal" songs in these threads.

fxd for my sentiments


though so far I've been listening to them all so voted for that, but I'm caring less and less for wasting my time for your guys' faggy metal whatnots

 

[Dark One]

Wait - are we getting 2 recommendations apiece now?? (Tully and Circus Brimstone)

 

[skeptik]

Yeah.

Hey, I got requests. I couldn't dissapoint. I said the second was off the record, but I guess it was official, wooo.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I'm going to make a solid effort in giving all reco's a chance regardless of description.
