Even though I gave it a positive reinforcement critique and know the genre so well that I can date the history of rock n' roll to an expression used by Trixie Smith's 1922 blues recording, "My Man Rocks Me (With One Steady Roll)". This song, and the term "rocking and rolling" itself, predates the mainstream use of the phrase by radio DJ Alan Freed in the 1950s, which is often credited with popularizing the term for the genre. What they are doing beats clogging the thread and constantly moving songs to the top to stay relevant. How's that a good idea? That isn't fair to everyone. It is more selfish than anything imho. Good songs get pushed down the thread and never get any attention because of one or two people "bumping" it. What is the difference between people going into one thread and listening to the songs compared to going into twenty threads and listening to them? It's a one size fits all that gives everyon bee a chance to stay in the thread for awhile but without being shoved down by dozens of songs by one or two artists intent on keeping theirs at the top without any consideration for others. Nobody is saying anyone has to listen to every song. They can pick, choose, and re-visit if they want. If not, so be it. Apparently, the powers that be think it is an excellent idea and I just so happen to agree wholeheartedly with them. Not knocking anyone. Just my opinion.

No it's not that you didn't understand the genre, it's that out of all the great tunes I had been posting , you picked one that was in the weaker side, ti comment. They all do that here. I even prefaced saying not one of my favorite writes.

But your sitting here telling Marty his idea is good, but said nothing about any of his songs , but used thread to advertise your album.
