I'm not a member of any social site, I have a Gmail account and that's my login

Aaah, OK. So, you don't have to have Google+ account apparently
['cause Google is one of the (only) three options].
Still, I don't have a need for Gmail.

i know alot of ppl like them but there is not alot of talk about them and i don't bring them up cause they feel played out, idk why but i assume either ppl already know them and are sick of them already or they are simply not interested in them because i don't see them bringing them up, ya know?

I have to admit though, my knowledge in music is pretty limited i like alot of bands by individual songs but i don't seek out all their cds cause i don't like them THAT much, i only know the history of the bands i REALLY like, others i don't know enough to get into a serious discussion about them.

I feel like I've seen people talk about Deerhoof and Of Montreal on here recently. Guided By Voices, The Misfits and Sonic Youth have had a lot of discussion on here over the years. And I'm a pretty big They Might Be Giants fan. :)

LOL Fair enough with this. I actually found one of my old posts of mine bitching about similar things. Check it out. It's from close to 3 months ago.

55% = of all members contribute to heavy metal discussion

35% = contribute to classic, prog, and psych rock

10% = contribute to everything else

That's ****ed up. We need more varied discussion than just metal everyday!

I've noticed how popular the prog. album club is, and we need something like that for some of the other areas of the site, like an electronic album club or something!

I of course, basically talk almost entirely about metal nowadays. lol funny how things change.
But, as Janszoon replied to me...

Janszoon also said this, which is what I want to say to you.
