I ask for two reasons:
1. I rarely go in the thread because its either a pithy one-off sentence or a youtube video.
2. I see them bumped a lot.
Do those threads (this is a "your opinion" question) prevent a band thread from being made or an existing thread from being elaborated on? I get the impression that they were created at the height of the "Being on MB with nothing to talk about" craze and they've carried over.
I'm not saying I'm right - I'm asking - but it seems to me we'd be better served by getting rid of them.

They serve a purpose and I rather keep them. I always go into them and listen to some of the songs that people post and regardless if they said anything about it. I might come across something new that I enjoy. I don't need to have commentary along with a track to decide whether or not I want to listen to something. Just like you said you can avoid it and unsubscribe from it but I definitely get mileage out of that thread and others like it.
I'm against getting rid of them and that's the bottom line. If people did want to really discuss a band/artist then they would create a thread about it anyways but most people realize that you won't get any new posts in said thread. You may only get a few views and that's about it.
