Can we have a new Specialist Forum?

[tdc2000]

It is all just music to me, to be savoured to be enjoyed. It is fascinating to see music converge and diverge, be re-interpreted and re-invented.
Its boundaries seem to continually shift which I kinda like. I can not see how it can be or should be just boxed into genres. I want to see artists who cross over and experiment we need more innovation and creativity.

I'll second this post. If you ask most musicians, especially in the alternative area, they hate being pigeonholed. Heck, Adele, Outkast, Katy Perry, and M.I.A. have all charted on the US Alternative charts in recent years.

I'd say yes to an adult/member's only forum though.

Sorry, but that one I can say a definite no on right from the start. We're not that kind of site.

What the heck would we do with this?? Dee Snider - Mack The Knife

I don't mean it in that way. I meant a section where stuff such as the picture thread would be visible to members only.

Loved that. Well Jazz + Rock = alternative I s'pose?

[BLover]

Chillout/ progressive dance/ electronic/ jazz/ easy listening/ film scores/ classical/ ambient/ reggae/ world/ specialist country/ blues/ folk/ gospel.

I definitely agree we need a specialist forum for all of this genres.

Coming to think about it.

Where should I post about classical music!?

[Chun]

It has no place here. That's why I never post about Philip Glass.

[Timmy94]

When I have got a dong that's neither rock, pop, dance or urban, I put it there where it's the closest.
For example if it's more experimental or alternative/scene, I'd put it in rock, if it's more commercial, I'd put it in pop.

I also support a specialist forum!

[Blondini]

^I don't wish to know where you put your dong!

Coming to think about it.

Depends. I put Hans Zimmer in pop. But avant garde acts like Glass would go in Alternative. Looks stupid, though.

LOL, I get your point of view... but

Has there been any further discussion about this? I think it's a brilliant idea!

Specialist Music Thread

I've set up a little thread for us supporters for the time being while we await a response on this.

[jpguy]

But I mean, a thread is not of so much help considering World Music (Latino and KPOP) don't really get along with FILM Scores and Classical... but it's kinda sad we don't get a new forum

Well world music would belong in there as well, a clash of different styles are welcome to be discussed. I think J-Pop or K-pop has it's own thread anyway doesn't it?

Yes, I'm still hoping for a 'Members Only' section. Maybe only for members with over 1000 posts. It'd be a place where we could all be a bit more open (posting pictures, talking about personal life, etc).

Can we have a new Pretentious Forum?

Can we have a new Pretentious Forum?

Knew it wouldn't take long.

What's wrong with having a place to talk about all those other types of music, why is it pretentious to enjoy other music? Just because you have no interest doesn't mean others haven't.

[Merci]

Just because you have no interest doesn't mean others haven't.

if by that you mean, I have no interest in shouting out "I *has* a superior muzic taste!!!" then you're damn right! because oh if I had a penny for everytime (let's say "some posters" so not to cause more unnecessary drama) mention how they're taste is so much better than the regular ukmixers and the usual moan "oh why do I even bother to mention this artist in this forum "

it really looks like a show sometimes when this clique talk about their taste..
yet they wouldn't dare to step out of ukmix and post somewhere where they only discuss "specialist" music, because there they wouldn't feel so special after all

[CrazyCrazy]

You have no idea what you are talking about, I refuse to listen to someone with that attitude. There simply is no where on the site for this music and I want there to be, explain to me what is wrong with this? I do not think my taste is superior to anyone's thank you very much.

Why do people always get upset when someone mentions a specialist section? I just want somewhere to talk about psychedelic metal, Yoko's screaming and a bit of smooth jazz etc?

[Merci]

Why do people always get upset when someone mentions a specialist section? P

Always? When did I even mention this section before! also am not even upset now, just posting an observation!

Not just you in particular it just seems like a big drama when it's mentioned, oh well I don't mind either way. Well your observation seems a little flawed and ill informed to me.

[marcsi]

this is a mainstream music forum and always will remain, imo.

thats why Im here for Xtina only. well and a couple other "smaller" acts sometimes.

Damn shame really, still don't think there would be any harm in it. But I really am not bothered anymore, I'll just continue talking about my fave songs/artists/albums elsewhere on the forum. I would go elsewhere on the net but I don't like anywhere else like I do UKMIX.
