When someone recommends you a band/artist

[King Gizzard]

Bit snobbish/daft question, but do you feel like you can't really really get into them because they were recommended or do you stan them anyway?

Quite annoying when I recommend people bands and then they stan them like they discovered them/they're their number 1 fan

Yes very true.......

*glares at Locke*

[Maia]

But no if someone recommends someone to me usually I love them, don't really care if they were *recommended* or not just listen to them as if I had discovered them myself

[Doogle]

Occasionally I have that attached to it but mainly I forgot and just enjoy.

Thinking about it, most of my current favourites in music (outside of mainstream pop I mean) were recommendations from someone/something and I love them.

[King Gizzard]

I always try to give credit to people when I really like something, Samuel with KL and Shaun with Japandroids

[Brother Leon]

I'm usually the one recommending to my friends. Kendrick is probably the only person who I was recommended and ended up liking and listening to frequently anyway(eventually after Samuel's thread and stanning :laugh:). Usually people tell me about new tracks from people I already know though. I don't find it any different. I like the track if I like it :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

In fact I only really got into hip hop full on because of Roy and Samuel

[LemonJam]

never really cared too much. I just try to spread the Gospel of Flawless taste tbh.

[MTVN]

Pretty much all the music I've liked is just stuff I've jumped onto the bandwagon for so this doesn't really apply to me

[King Gizzard]

It can be quite annoying when someone goes ''have you heard this?'' to a band you recommended to them months before

[Locke.]

It is a bit annoying when you discover new young talent like Nina Nesbitt and mention her briefly in a conversation then have her stolen away and not be given any credit

[Shaun]

Not really bothered by it. An example I guess was Niall told me he got into Bjork through a recommendation or post of mine, and I'm not annoyed or anything, or feel like my thunder's been stolen. Music is communal :shrug:

[MeMyselfAndI]

I hate when I recommend people & then people listen to them all the time, It's like I'm a bigger fan thanks
Also this goes the same in anything really *cough* apple202 *cough*

Guess it's not such a big deal with big artists as they're easily well known anyway

[King Gizzard]

and every band is recommended by someone else/liked by someone before you anyway so yeah, just annoying when people are ignorant

[Shaun]

:suspect: that sounded like an insult

-asks for my Yuck t-shirt back-

[King Gizzard]

:joker: No it wasn't wasn't using 'you' in that sense

[MeMyselfAndI]

I told my friend about Lana Del Ray & gave him my album, and now he plays it all the time & I don't know why, but it really annoys me

[King Gizzard]

I heard Yuck on jools/through Cajun Dance Party anyway :idc:

[LemonJam]

The more I think about it I've picked up a great deal of music from TiBB members, (sooty, Nate, Shaun, Dezzy, Samuel, Marc, BB_Eye off the top of my head) and if any of you don't want others listening to your music then you shouldn't be posting in the first place :idc:

[King Gizzard]

I love sharing music just annoying when people forget who shared it :joker:

this is in no way directed at anyone on here btw,

well, maybe it is but it's not recent/they're not here

[Shaun]

nathan stop throwing shade at DamonJ ffs

[Locke.]

:idc:

Oh yes like that is in the slightest bit believable :idc:

[Niall]

Well I usually listen to suggestions from people on here and wind up really liking them, or at least enjoying the odd few songs.

When people in real life recommend me stuff though, I tend to just not bother mainly because I forget. It's easier to pester someone into listening to stuff online, so. :laugh:

Most of the time though everyone tells me to listen to an album/band/artist when I'm already stanning something else then about 4 months later I wind up loving the album/band/artist when everyone else has gotten over it oops.

[Mystic Mock]

Most of my Music taste has been from recommendations, although I did get my Mother into Flo Rida's Club Can't Handle Me.

[joeysteele]

I listen to a great deal of music but am always open to hearing what others like too,often people mention a singer or group to me that I haven't taken much, or even any, notice of and I find I like their music too so end up listening to and buying it.

Even on here,a fair while ago, Stacey it was, mentioned and recommended Taylor Swift to me, even suggesting albums to listen to. I did and found I liked her and now buy her work myself too.

i have to hear the whole song first the say yes/no
