Whoever started 'official ____ appreciation' threads deserves to be shot.
 

I get it - you have favourite artists, but this music section irks me with this.

Firstly, they're constantly the most posted-in topics, and unless they're a pop group with over 6 fans on this site you're not going to get a look in.

Secondly, 'appreciation thread's. REALLY? You love your artist so much that you can't handle a bit of criticism? Get your head out of your arse and deal with it.

Thirdly, some RIDICULOUS acts have them - some that have only released one bloody album, if that. I'm looking at you, Ellie Goulding. At you, Lady GaGa.

This is not a personal criticism on those that make these threads - but I'd enjoy the music section if half of the page wasn't 'omg Jason Orange flashed his ass'.

I understand the lady gaga one..

She has been big and has lots of fans on here, dont know that other bird, i try to steer clear anyway.

Oi shut up about Jason :p Mine has been there since 2007 and doesn't actually have 'appreciation' in the title although I do get pissed if people come into the thread just to say bad things,seriously what is the point?

Im getting pissed off at the official (member from tibb) appretiation threads more.

I concede that only GaGa and Britney seem to have the word 'appreciation' in the titles...oops.

And Ke$ha would've been a better example than Gaga.

But otherwise my points still stand :P I remember when the section (albeit was underused) was mostly people posting new tracks in threads and people would talk about them. Now it's just updated mega-threads...consider it a thread-form of monopoly, if you will.

yes!
And the use of the word legend, if everyones a legend then the words just cliche

Princess+Mark started it I think, with the TT+Britney ones.

I like them, but I agree there are too many.
The only ones that ever get posted in are Take That, Britney, Christina &GaGa.
Occassionally Sugababes + Diana too.

I know. This is why I suggested a music sub-forum for these threads, like, ages ago, because they just clog up the forum. I'd rather the music forum be used for actual music and artist recommendations.

Looking down the first page of the music forum - Cheryl Cole and Lindsay Lohan are two more good examples. The former's had, what, 2 top ten songs? And is more known for being 'that reet bonnie pet off t'ex factor.'

I like it when news threads are posted separately - like if I heard Lady GaGa had just twatted Harrison Ford because he called her a 'fat dyke' I'd want it in a separate thread, not on page 136 of MichaelSpears' wet dreams.

I think for major news people do tend to make a new thread but otherwise we'd get given out to for clogging up the whole forum with seperate threads :p

Yeah, there's practically a new news article about Lady GaGa EVERY day, ranging from interesting to pointless...
I'm sure there'd be complaints if the forum was clogged up with a million GaGa threads :tongue:

That would be my worst nightmare. Yeah, keep Lady Gaga news in her thread... well away from me.

I think the Spice Girls one is abit pointless, seeing as there not together now.

You're right man, who gives a **** if GaGa is in Paris or whatever, it's just people reinforcing their own 'love' for the artist. Alot of people on here like **** music anyway, I was quite shocked when I first joined

Moan Moan Moan.

I'm sure my Sugababes one is fine.

we :love: Gaga

Aqua.

Seriously.

Aqua?

Are they the ones with Barbie Girl?

But shaun where do i vent my obsession? :(

Well my Oasis and The Smiths/Morrissey one are great, cos well they're the best bands ever

Yes. And they have an appreciation thread. Yes. No, that's not a joke. They actually have one. Yes.

Wut man? :shocked:
Exceptions to every rule :wink:.

Good music needs to be appreciated on TiBB, considering the lack of appreciation for it for the most part.

Pretty much man, I hate beating around the bush when it comes to telling people about their shite music taste. People call it 'music snobbery' I call it telling the fucking truth

:joker:

oh christ..

I was actually told by a moderator/admin to change the title to 'Official Appreciation....' because Andy/David and their 'crew' were intimidating the Britney fans by posting obscene or disrespectful stuff in the thread. I complained about it and was told that if I added 'appreciation' it should solve the problem, which it has.

that did make me chuckle :laugh:

They are reunited. And I only created that thread for the greatest hits album. and other related stories.

Exactly what I was thinking

They have a new musical out this year. Hence also at the time of creating that thread they had plans to 'reunite' so I made the thread.

We are not talking current band status here. The Beatles deserve appreciation cosmologically, infinately more than Aqua do, and they last performed half a century ago.

Plus it just kind of seems silly when nobody else wants to appreciate Aqua. I appreciate my favourite bands as do we all but I wouldn't do it on a public forum and expect people to care.

Ah, that's fair enough. Glad to see they've stopped being massive asshats, though.

I understand the Beatles statement (1) on the first line. But another member also posts in the Aqua thread and I have talked to them outside of the thread also. I dont post much Aqua news anyway as interent stories are quite hard to find (Or fan sites slow).

I think they're a good thing tbh. I mean like it's been said, who gives a **** if Lady GaGa just landed in Heathrow and lost her hat? Nobody - except her fans. so rather than clogging the place up with **** like that, keep it all together. And realistically - Cheryl, Ellie, Diana, Ke$ha, they get a bit of action but Britney, GaGa and Take That are the only ones regularly used. and Christina from time to time.

oh and I agree, MichaelSpears' use of 'appreciation' in the title of the GaGa thread is quite clearly because he couldn't even begin to actually justify his fandom for her.
