I hate to be a big fucking wet blanket, but yeah, there's my honest opinion.

I listen to music because I like it, not because someone says I should, or to be in with the cool kids, or conversely, an aloof lone wolf, mysterious and enigmatic. **** that ****. I don't have time for that sort of posing.

Also, I have tons of music I want to/would love to listen to but am way way WAAAYYY too busy to manage to fit in, so a lot of stuff I should, would or will eventually get around to listening to gets put on the long finger.

But I really don't like threads like this. It's only a personal opinion, but I think they're ego-inflating and pretty pointless really. I'll take recs any time but **** anyone trying to tell me what THEY think I should listen to.

Note: I'm not saying this is a bad thread, just not something I want to be part of. I'm only responding to Batty's post here. Mostly.

That said, it should be pointed out that I am trying to broaden my metal horizons via Metal Month, I recently listened to, and enjoyed, Gram Parsons, and one of the points of my new History of Prog thread is to address what Batty said, that there is too much prog I don't listen to or even know. Hopefully over the course of the journal that will change. Also, some good stuff has come my way via "1001 albums", but so has some real ****.

Finally, Batty I ****ing loved both those songs, especially the second one. Thanks!
