I have a problem with that. Because you're effectively deciding here what is worth my time. My opinion on this "backward listening" approach is that it's a complete waste of time. It's _not_ worth my time. It's not even worth replying to the topic. That's my opinion, so you don't have to share it.
However what you now do is creating this thread, trying to force some discussion. At least I think there's plenty of discussion going round in the forums. Probably it's just that these discussions don't interest _you_. It's like for me with the "backward listening" stuff.

Maybe people can just be happy with their music, without having to drop something into a discussion board?

The problem is see here, is that you're the one who actually wants something. You want people to write down their thoughts on the music, so that you can read/reply/whatever to them. But that's now how things work. You can't just drop this "rant" here (while implying by the last sentence (
Aren't people interested in talking about music?) that people are not interested) and wait for something to happen. You have to initiate the discussion yourself.
