I wouldn't go off on a, i appreciate music more than you rant. You're just going to end up looking like an ***.
Did you read what that was in response to? I didn't say that I appreciate it more. I said I doubt he appreciated it more than me, which is what he was implying.
and after your rants on 'black' metal i really dont think you're in any position to talk down to people about their musical tastes.
Regardless of what you think about black metal, or any other music, I assure you that I am in a position to talk about peoples musical tastes in any way I want, though I don't participate in random or pointless flaming, and I always make an effort to support my opinions.
I've listened to every album i own.... so?
I've found some of the best music by downloading random albums. I love music in almost all genres. If you 'research' everything before you download it you're not doing yourself any favors. And surely not exposing yourself to anything new or worthwhile.
I was simply pointing out that not everyone has vastly more material than they utilize. It's not like I think listening to every CD I own is brag-worthy.
You are simply and utterly wrong with those last sentences. This thread is not the place for me to discuss what new things I listen to, but I would put money on you being pretty surprised. Black metal isn't a touch on the weird and obscure shit I listen to. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying you're wrong about my research and downloading methods. But if the other works for you, that is great too.
Perhaps I could send you my Oink handle so you can look at the 500 albums I am seeding, to give you a taste? Just an offer.
Peoples CD's. I've bought a lot of cd's at concerts... albums that i would not be able to find online or in any stores for that matter. Soulseek has been quite helpful as have random torrent sites and google. I've also taken one of my externals to friends houses and we've swapped music.
Ah, I see. Unfortunately, none of my friends have musical tastes nearly as extensive as mine. I don't think I could benefit from borrowing any of their CDs. It's all either pop shit from the radio, shit I have heard, or stuff from artists I don't care about. Oink is where it's at for me.
I have about 400 songs from the roots. I listen to the whole group of albums on random very often. I have even more louis armstrong songs. etc. etc.
Like I said, the vast majority of artists I listen to don't have that much material. I would say 90% of them have 5 albums or less. I can maybe only think of 2 or 3 with 400 songs...
