your 'new american songbook' thread is a great idea, took me a good 20 minutes of contemplation to pull out a short list from my youth (i'd cut half of it after reconsidering). it took you almost a week to post a 2nd time in it and haven't really said much. it's kind of hard to want to keep adding to it if the innovator can't be bothered to actually participate in their own thread.
Half the threads around here have posters we haven't seen in years. Whats the OP got to do with the quality of posts in a thread?

Edit: By the by, I've got a Tom Waits discography I have barely touched and have been dipping back into some other music (which is why I've been knee deep in the TOOL thread lately). I've never mined one vein with music, I don't think asking posters to be beholden to a thread is a healthy thing.
