What’s playing on your turntable…. Does anyone care?

I appreciate the sharing.  Music is an exploration for me.  Just last night I had a listen to a Nils Frahm album someone posted up.  I can’t begin to count the number of times I have done this.  

@bimmerlover  “….unprompted shares…”

Good to stand back and have a look. All is not always as first thought. Even better for a second, closer one. Your appraisal looks sound judgement.✔️

@jpwarren58  “John Prine”

l never realised until today that John Denver’s “Paradise” was a cover version. A case of being aware of a song, but not its origin.

l am 71 to answer your question.

Why do people feel compelled to make negative posts about what other people enjoy?  The fact that the thread has been running for over 20 years on this forum should tell you all you need to know.

I definitely care. I find it a great source of new (to me) music. Yes I am into the equipment part of this hobby just like everyone else. But the real reason I spent all that money is for the music. 

I don't have an issue with the sharing per se, its just that I see very little value in it when tunes/albums listed are common/million selling albums that everyone already knows about. Why should I care about what your listening to. On the other hand, listing less known music provides a service.
