^Well, my complaint was mainly about negative feedback on newbs and their tastes. And when I wrote someone who likes hair metal, I wasn't actually trying to describe Saphia, it was meant more as a general scenario although I can see where that went wrong.

As for my complaint regarding recommendations, it's more to do with recommending music without writing anything about them - without mentioning why someone should listen to them or why they should find them interesting. A statement like "band X are really good you should listen to it" coming from someone you don't know and who don't know you means almost nothing. I would never bother checking out a list of random artists with no information about them when I have the luxury of checking out a multitude of recommendations written by people who have made an attempt to be informative and interesting.

There are tons of threads here describing music that might peak your interest
