Not sure what happened to this board, it used to be the best on Bigfooty, but there's just so few threads that get created and very limited discussion on the whole.
The General Metal thread gets a lot of traffic and has a lot of regular contributors, and as much as I have a number of metal bands that I like - Mastodon, Slayer, Baroness, Isis etc, it's not quite my wheelhouse and a lot of the technical aspects of the music get lost on me. It's closer to classic music than pop music stylistically; in most cases anyway.
Otherwise a huge amount of threads are just used to critique mainstream bands.
I consider myself more of music generalist, as much as that doesn't really suit the kinds of communities that the internet encourages, but I prefer appreciating a little bit of everything. Naturally I have my favourite artists - Elliott Smith, Modest Mouse, At The Drive In - but I'm not especially fanatical.
So what are you listening to? What band from the 70's have you just found? How many more decent albums did Jeff Buckley have in him?
I've just discovered T. Rex recently after years of assuming they were middle-of-the-road and love their sound and Bolan's lyrics.
