Exo recently moved a new thread to a more appropriate section. Thanks, Exo!

Actually, the General Music section often has surprisingly specific threads in it, and perhaps more should be tidied away, for example:-

http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...ad-thread.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...spel-week.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...84-prince.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...ic-advice.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...club-band.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...rt-thread.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...te-rapper.html

None of these threads are about music in general. I think some thread starters go to "General Music" because they're reluctant to choose a genre, (e.g. Is this music pop or rock?), and in those cases, perhaps MB could have an implicit ruling, e.g. all Beatles stuff goes to Pop. I suppose another reason thread starters go to the General Music section is because it gets more attention. But the obverse is also true; by chucking so many threads into Gen Music, the specific music sections are robbed of action, which is a shame.

So I would respectfully suggest that the mods should step up and do some sorting. After all, what do you think we are (not) paying you for?!
