Wait, so is the only purpose of this thread to try and "outdo" each other in musical taste?
That's pretty fucking sad, and that's even coming from a fellow elitist.
If the idea of this thread is more along the lines of what
>>3 suggested, that is, trying to broaden musical taste, we have a
Suggestions Thread that hasn't seen the light of day in forever and seriously needs a good bumping. There are also plenty of genre threads in the archive for people to debate the best of their style, so that also deems this thread as an irrelevant duplicate.
There are also threads such as the
Music Discovery Thread,
Current Album Digs Thread,
Fave Genre Thread, and
Fave Artists Thread to use as general places to discuss things you're listening to and encourage others who may like it to give it a listen as well. The less elitist you act, the more likely people are willing to give it a go. If you want to vent about bad music, then there's always
this thread too.
And of course last but not least, if you're sick of bad threads of bad artists on the board, either make or bump up good threads of good artists. It's more or less law of the board to avoid making a thread for multiple unrelated bands, sharing only the common factor of "they're better than _____ is." If the band is deserving enough of the attention, give them all the spotlight with their own thread, not clumped into one. Like for instance, we have a
Tool thread and a
Radiohead thread and a
Lana Del Ray thread and so on whose creators I'm sure would love a bump of their work.
So nice try, OP. And it's nothing against you or what you listen to (since I actually like a lot of it), but this thread will either result in butthurt or redundancy of other threads, and since you seem to have the right idea but just went about it the wrong way, I'm hoping you'll follow my nudge in the right direction.
A toast to good music and those who enjoy it. /o/
