i'm just mad you got the WBAFBR one first!

[Omnomnom]

I don't like it. sometimes i just wanna put the song and then who it is by. Is this such a bad trhing. You can still clearly see what i'm saying.

[screamoutmyname]

Rock and roll. Deal with it

[fadedmemories]

It's exactly what I do anyway.

[bard]

yes it is a bad thing

This made me laugh out loud.

[kwsqd]

This made me laugh out loud.
:-d

[Lemmi!]

I agree

[maxvsmaradona]

I'm seeing The Color Fred tonight for free. I hope performs some stuff off of

TCF - Bend to Break


Did I do it right?

[bard]

:-d
such a great movie. when he pees and when he throws that glove at that kid and laughs, some of his best stuff

[kwsqd]

Tom Hanks for president

[billyboatkid]

Good rule

[miapiv89]

haha i get confused otherwise when i don't know the band and maybe want to look them up
i agree with the rule

[deFobbed14yrs]

yes sir!

[more heart]

I always put the song title before the artist. Think of it this way, if you had a discussion with someone about a song they maybe didn't know, wouldn't you say, "____" by ____? The song title comes before the artist.

Alot of people don't use the word "by" however, which is where the confusion comes in.

[thespearkid]

Agreed with OP. It's no longer optional.

[Neo Cassady]

Yes, but also...

"Song Name"
Album

makes things way less confusing, especially when people go about lengthening their e-penis with songs/albums no one else is familiar with.

[TangledUp]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that was annoyed by that!

[zachff]

Fuck that. I'm going to put
Year Released - Label - Distributor - Track #
to make you work to find out what the fuck i'm talking about

[Dymytry Vance]

This made me laugh out loud.
Hasn't it always been like this?
Bright Eyes
The First Day Of My Life
I'm Wide Awake It's Morning

???

[fly_guy]

when making a list of artists and their albums, or artists and their songs, use this format:

artist - album
artist - album - song
artist - song



PUT THE ARTIST FIRST! my god, is this that hard of a concept to grasp?

AGREEEEED. Its so annoying, I cant go into the 'what are you listening to' thread because of this. My god.

[Brokenhill]

Band - 'Album' - "Song"

Then if you're listing just one, people can tell whether it's an album or a song that you're referring. It especially helps when a song title is identicaly to the album title, like when reccomending material to someone.

[boysandbulletsx]

Why don't we all just put the song title in quotations and title in italics like we're supposed to? That way it doesn't matter what comes first.

[whataclush]

when making a list of artists and their albums, or artists and their songs, use this format:

artist - album
artist - album - song
artist - song



PUT THE ARTIST FIRST! my god, is this that hard of a concept to grasp?
nah.

[Roboman]

Why don't we all just put the song title in quotations and title in italics like we're supposed to? That way it doesn't matter what comes first.

Best suggestion/post in this thread yet.

[boysandbulletsx]

Best suggestion/post in this thread yet.
Thank you. A little bit of correct MLA formatting never hurt anyone :-d

[SincerelyMe]

So glad to see I'm not the only person who is annoyed by this. It drives me crazy.

[MADSTA]

Hasn't it always been like this?
Bright Eyes
The First Day Of My Life
I'm Wide Awake It's Morning

???
I have no idea why you quoted me but no.

[CollectiveConfusion]

this is a dumb ass rule.

[Dymytry Vance]

I have no idea why you quoted me but no.
I didn't think I did. My mistake.

[lonelysuperstar]

I'm totally with the OP on this. It's always annoyed me when people put the song title first.

[SolitaryBlue]

I've always used that format.

[pleasedontask]

And the year of the album or song, of course.

[El_Jeffe]

it only really bothers me when people list bands that i don't know which have weird names & i can't tell which is the song title & which is the band name whichever way i look at it

[SanePsychotic]

when making a list of artists and their albums, or artists and their songs, use this format:

artist - album
artist - album - song
artist - song



PUT THE ARTIST FIRST! my god, is this that hard of a concept to grasp?

I prefer song - album - artist. Why does this seem to bother you so much?

Why don't we all just put the song title in quotations and title in italics like we're supposed to? That way it doesn't matter what comes first.

Agreed. I think I usually do that anyway.

[briewer]

Fuck that. I'm going to put
Year Released - Label - Distributor - Track #
to make you work to find out what the fuck i'm talking about
I think you've just come up with a new idea for a music game thread.

[color_coded]

it only really bothers me when people list bands that i don't know which have weird names & i can't tell which is the song title & which is the band name whichever way i look at it
This.

[wewascontenders]

i think you're all just a bunch of ocd ridden retards.

[AussieBoy]

so like this?

bring it all back - s club 7

[CellarGhosts]

I couldn't care less which way people list it.

[bard]

I prefer song - album - artist. Why does this seem to bother you so much?



Agreed. I think I usually do that anyway.
to me it doesn't matter what order they go in, just as long as everyone does the same thing, and artist - song is what people are doing for the most part

[xJesusFreakx]

Thank you. A little bit of correct MLA formatting never hurt anyone :-d

MLA ftw.

i think you're all just a bunch of ocd ridden retards.

:shrug: Maybe?

[UnityRiot]

It really matters? You aren't going to strain yourself by reading the song title before the artist or vice versa, so why the argument over something stupid? o_O

[muttley]

Agreed.

[xxmannequin]

Bard - Rants Of A Madman
I lol'd.


Anyway, this doesn't really bother me unless it's in that song title association thread and people switch the format every few posts and you can't tell which is the artist and which is the song title.

[boysandbulletsx]

MLA ftw.



:shrug: Maybe?
I've grown to love and embrace MLA after all of these years. It's so much easier to just accept it :-d
