Your mileage may vary but my advice to anyone starting such threads is this: do the research yourself. That hard grafting will make you appreciate the fruits of your labour much more.
As for asking others, from personal experience, it's more miss than hit, as there are so many nuances to an artist or band that no two people will appreciate them all (well, that's unless you're the kind that's easy to please).
Now that we all have internet access, there's really no excuse. Before the internet, options were severely limited and yet I managed to discover a lot of new music on my own - most of which I still enjoy to this day.
