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.
What’s playing on your turntable…. Does anyone care?
When l was in a previous discussion l questioned the value myself if l would want to tell anyone what l was listening to. I have always wondered why do some posters feel compelled on a regular basis to tell others what’s playing on their turntable?
What makes someone want to do that? Personally l fail to see the point. So l have posted this question to others to test if there’s any curiosity value in it. What would an analyst make if it all. Is it a form of attention seeking?

When I'm moved by an lp thats not very common I'll usually post for 2 reasons - 1- to hopefully turn someone onto something they're not familiar with Or 2- to remind someone that has the lp to pull it out and give a spin. I for one am always looking for new music and/or a reminder to spin something I already have. Also to understand the tastes in music of the regulars. I like alot of the same things as Slaw for one |

@mylogic -1 Why would anyone have the desire to question(mock) a 20+ year old thread with over 56k responses? As a regular contributor(5+ years) I will presume for your sake this thread was "Tongue and Cheek". For the benefit of this thread I will play along. 1. It’s a form of communication between Audiophiles/Music Lovers and Record Collectors without getting overly personal. 2. Can bring awareness to newer releases and albums that need a good dusting off despite having a platinum sales status. 3. Some will comment on the recording SQ of a new release with can be very financially helpful(I wish more would comment).Lastly I find the regular group of posters and even newcomers non-combative unlike many other threads. Hopefully if anything positive occurs from this thread it will bring more attention and new posters where 100k responses is in the near future. |
