I don't think anyone posts simply to get a positive reaction/gain approval/avoid disapproval.
Like others I have posted a few artists on several occasions and received no comments - no problem - and I do not think any less of others for not sharing my musical tastes.
One of the reasons my involvement with this thread has lessened considerably of late is a feeling that I am being narrow-minded/blinkered when I do not like something "non-prog" or judged "brilliant" by others (even though my tastes stretch beyond this).
Indeed I have wondered are less well-known artists posted on occasion just for sheer bloody-mindedness.
My maxim has always been if I like it, then, that's good enough for me.

If you feel like that imagine how it feels if you're not part of the in crowd
Don't know about you but in our house everyone I post is well known. You and the prog guys post folk I've never heard of though. I trust you don't do that for sheer bloody mindedness. I assumed it was simply a metter of divergent interests. Gutted to see that some of you post for effect. Bit sad really.
I listen to most stuff posted on here and comment accordingly. After all this is supposed to be a discussion thread.
If I like a clip I will say so, especially if it is music that is new to me - and if I don't like a clip I will also say so and why I feel like that.
If I don't comment, it is cos the clip has not had an impact on me in any way and I have no comment to make about it.
Most of the clips I post on here seem to fall into the last category for the other posters on here...

I think it's important that you offer an objective opinion. Give me a shout when you are about to start

I was surprised to see appreciation for my Dub Collosus link from Crude I think it was (maybe Chicago those yanks are all the same) point is we keep knocking on the door untill someone answers, I have no opinion at all on The Archandroid album as I havn't heard it...Collosus and Spooky on rotation at the moment, throw in some Nicolay (it's an extrordinarily well written and clever album, maybe The Hold Steady are suffering a little without his input)

Saw them at Leeds Uni (poly?) and at Bratfud St.Georges...excellent band! Preferred Bowies version of ATYD - but this is wonderful!
