Proposal - lets share our treasures
Gammajo, I would like to point you to an ongoing thread that does just what you propose. Many of the participants have been introduced to all kinds of genre: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?gmusi&1078448878&read&h24&zzlSlipknot1&&#rest |
Good idea, but tough project. In order for it to be really worth while it should be archival in nature so folks could use it as a reference and for that to work you would have to break it down in catagories so if someone wanted pop they wouldn't have to wade thru tons of jazz, classical, hip hop etc. In classical and jazz I've rarely gotten any feedback when I have posted a "discovery" - only when I'm responding to a "request for", so I concluded, at least in this forum and in Audio Asylum either everyone who cared already knew, or nobody cared (about the music or my judgment). In any event I stopped doing this several years ago. FWIW. |
Here's a thread I started a while back that goes in the direction you are suggesting. There have been many here that qualify, and yes, it is a great idea and a wonderful aspect of this forum. Marco |
Gammajo - you could simply start your own threads in those different categories. The threads longevity, and eventual archiving will depend upon it's success in the eyes of Agon, I suppose. I don't know that I'd be so specific as to give one thread a very narrow category. Perhaps a thread for Jazz and Blues, One for Classical and Operatic, Pop and Rock, Alternative and Folk, Rap & HipHop, ...you get the picture. Marco |
