I personally will always love everything Vanilla Ice does (though most of that love is the product of cruel notions); I recently saw him play on Clearwater Beach at a tourist hotel/buffet. Awesome. How about all of you? What washed up musician do you enjoy (for whatever reason)?

A band or musician that stopped commanding any degree of respect or recognition by the public or within the popular media, save for criticism and mockery.

I lost 3 levels the last time I made one of those. You have any idea how long it takes to get back up to level 52 from 49? =\

Eh? What the hell is a fad topic? I get the idea, but the idea is kind of vague. So no topics can be posted in relation to another? The point is to be humorous rather than dull. Isn't it funnier to talk about mediocre musicians instead of congratulating ourselves for listening to so-and-so 10 years before everyone else?

I would guess half a year. Took me a month to get back to 30 after my last level drop

A fad topic is against the TOU here. Happens when you make a play off of another's thread. For example: Thread 1: do you like blondes Thread 2: do you like brunettes ...meant to stop people from spamming the boards

I like bands both that aren't famous and famous. If they stop being famous then like band members died or something? If that is the case then yes.

Most bands on my iPod aren't famous anymore. I'm just very picky with music but when I like a song it usually stays on my playlist years after.

Well I do understand that, but that's why I said that it is kind of vague. Examples like those make sense as a violation of the TOU, because it really is spamming and offers nothing. I thought it was kind of funny, the dark skeletons no one ever talks about, or the has-been pop stars that make our days happier...rather than the great bands most of us already like or at least respect. Anyway, no playing off of other threads...ever. Kind of crappy, but what can you do?

I don't mind your topic, I was just explaining to another user and then to you is all

All topics eventually repeat themselves here.
The TOU can is more gray than black and white...mirrors real life in that regard

Hell no! What's the point in liking something if people aren't going to like it with you?
