Overall though, that's a good thing of course...because I wouldn't want to go to a musicforum where nobody knew a lot about music...and there's a lot of learning to be done. And then again I've got to remind myself I've only had about 4 years experience as a serious fan of music. The summer before I entered 9th grade I got into the Beatles (through the movie I Am Sam oddly enough) and that was my launching pad. Also probably the reason I had to defend them fervently over the Stones. They're my foundation in the truest sense of the word.
P.S. Hey Urban...care to drop the names of some of the forums and blogs you visit where uploads are posted?

I actually kinda thought you didn't much like this place. As others have already told you, you make intelligent, thought out posts, and sooner or later, that gets you noticed no matter what forum you're on.
As far as musical knowledge, many people have stated musicbanter as one of the more important sources, and I couldn't agree more. Before I joined, the hight of my musical knowledge was RATM, The Doors, The Bravery, Kings of Leon, Travis and Coldplay. My musical library was about 4GB in size. Then I came here and Stu, Big3 and Urban tore me a new one for not knowing a thing about Joy Division and all other influences on the so called "New wave", and I was compelled to learn as much as I could just so I didn't appear so dumb. Now, my library is 25GB in size, and getting larger by the minute.
