People only post their favourite song and leave. The problem is everybody wants everybody else to hear their contribution, but they don't care about anyone else's. It makes sense.
I love threads like these. I often track threads like these down to see if I can find any music I like I haven't heard before. I find it more entertaining and efficient than other ways of finding good music.
Well that's good for you I guess, but I think very few people actually make use of these threads like that.
Well, no offense, but you made a thread called "A SONG EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR" and then prominently featured one of your favorite songs. Don't you think that's the teensiest bit narcissistic?
That's not narcissistic. Can he not participate in the thread just because he started it?
I suppose it's harmless, but don't you see how you can have half TL's population start threads about "listen to this amazing song.. oh and post some of your own if you want to" that are just a front for drawing attention to their favorite music?

Not really. I sounds like you're just looking for something to criticize. As far as "list your favorite X" threads go, this one is working out reasonably well.
Guys, please explain why you are posting what you are. Like, what voices or concepts or stories we should be listening for.
We don't all listen to music the same way. Music is about what you relate to. What resonates with you. It's intrinsically meaningless (it's really just a bunch of vibrations), but we give it meaning with the analogies we create in our heads.
If I don't know why you chose to love the song, then I'll judge it on my circumstances, and it very well could ruin the whole experience for me. Even just 1 sentence of guidance is very much helpful.
I'm at work, so i don't know if this is an ok version:
Bruce Springsteen - The River
It's a song about growing up/getting old and learning that some dreams don't come true. Reliving the memories of a good past while living in world where your dreams are crushed and trying to cope with it. One of the saddest and most powerful songs i know, though maybe it's just my point of view.
It really doesn't matter which one you choose, I'd probably go with Now I'm here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDhTumGxB2w) or Save Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8cYDnthloI)
But in all honesty they have to many great songs to only pick one
EPT
anyway:
I think anyone might like it even though it's a metal band.
