in regards to music and bands

which kinda person are you?

a person who knows alot of bands but don't focus on any specific one or a person who doesn't know alot of bands and focuses on the bands he already knows?

if you happen to be both plz pick the one that suits you the most

i myself tend to focus on the bands i already know
it's hard for me to really get into a new band, it doesn't happen often

idk what precisely i want from a band but i have to feel something that draws me in to them, i honestly don't care if other ppl think the band is genius

if i don't like it i don't see it

i'll give u a quick example

i gave 'Tame impala' a try because i saw alot of ppl praising the band but i didn't find it THAT special, i mean they sounded good but no big deal

on the flipside, a user here introduced me to this band 'Hammer no more fingers' and even though the band is less ambitious and more simple i liked it more

(BTW just like main question, this is a matter of taste not specifically what's better)

Cream in the late 1960s.
Only made 3 albums, but oh boy are they good.
Jimi Hendrix only made 2. Some of the best stuff out there.
I'll take quality over cheap mass produced crap any day.

i think most ppl will agree with you this poll is kinda biased lol

But if we focus on just the stuff we already know and love how will we discover good new music?

Preferring quality over quantity doesn't mean I'm not still constantly discovering new things.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

I always looking for what I call 5 star music the best of the best so now a days im always digging and digging few new music from the past to the present and anything I like I write it down so I don't forget

but of course I have my core of fav bands

I don't think the scenario described in the OP is really quality versus quantity. Preferring quality doesn't mean you have listen to the same handful of bands over and over again.

4? Cry Of Love? Technically its a posthumous album thrown together by other producers, but was intended as his 4th lp along with the Rainbow Bridge material. Axis Bold As Love was always my favorite lp.

Black Francis

No i know that, that's why i was hoping for ppl to give a personal opinion about the subject since they kinda go hand in hand

like for example Norg post that points out how quantity is good
