Here is an example of a very simple yet effective description of a band.

One line, 3 words. Probably took about 5 seconds to type. If you feel that an album needs a longer description to be justified then thats up to you but there is no problem with making a post like this.

Useful to someone trying to collect every proto-punk glam rock album ever released, perhaps.
Though one would hope if you have such an intent, you'd have already heard of the album being posted, in which case it would be just as useful to you as if the three words weren't there at all.
I fit in the latter category.
Once again, there's nothing WRONG with posting a three-word description, and if you want, knock yourself out. I AM COMPLETELY ACCEPTING. I simply don't DEMAND dogmatically that people do so. If they want: good, great! If they don't: I'm not going to demand and dictate that they do so.

If you're going to unreasonably heckle me because I dared differ with your opinion in the med!afire thread, at least pretend to have a consistent reason for it.

#1 It was not less than a month old.
#2 Sure this forum moves slowly, but this thread was probably on the third or fourth page and had obviously run it's course. Granted, it was linked in a recent and popular thread, but that was just to prove a point. There was pretty much nothing you could've posted that would have warranted reviving this thread.

No, the point was that if you don't post a description of the album then how are people going to know what it is about? Whether you just post a genre like i showed or whether you post similar bands it doesn't matter, just give people a fighting chance of knowing something about the album so that they don't blindly download it, delete it and feel that they have just wasted bandwidth to do so.

It was on the first page.
It was the fourth thread down.
Had I known it was over a month old, I wouldn't have posted. My apologies. If the music forum moves so slowly a thread over a month old is the fourth thread down, I don't see why people are complaining about my posting more.

And the name of the artist is far more information to go on than a shitty genre tag.

Every message has its date - the date of the previous message to your first one in this thread was Feb 18th, so I really can't believe that it was the fourth thread in the forum. Fourth on the second page, perhaps. This board takes a rather severe view of bringing back dead threads. Whether or not this is logical, it is how it is, and if you hang around a bit longer before getting stuck in, this, and many other things, will become readily apparent.
