Stickying band recommendations?

--For "bands" section--

[sales-pitch]I have what I consider to be a great idea. How combining the most popular threads on a particular genre of music (recommendation threads) and stickying them at the top, and keeping them open.

This way everyone who wants a recommendation can look at the thread, and ask more specifically about a particular brand. It would also be useful for newbs wanting to know about different styles of metal, without starting new threads. [/sales-pitch]

So it would be like:

Sticky: Death/Jazz Fusion Bands
Sticky: Technical Death Bands
Sticky: Power Metal Bands

Not in the bands section GD, there's only one. A basic list of what seems to be the most popular music here:

+Technical Death
+Thrash
+ Jazz/Death Fusion
+ Grindcore
+ Black Metal

Even with a few more added, it wont take up a lot of space, over up in Guitar there's 8!

I'll add a poll to my original post to get some feeback

Edit: Nevermind, I can't

Maybe it'll prevent newbs from posting more useless threads.

I think it's a good idea in principle, but as soon as you split into subgenres some twat will be saying,

"You stupid penis eating cuntface, that ain't fuckin' technical death, thats pseudo-blast-death-gore-slam-grind. Hahaha you are such a worthless cunt. DIEDIEDIE!!!!. Ban him. RAAAAAHHHH"

ok maybe not to that extent, but you see my point. I have used the search function several times to get band recommendations, that really is all you need.

I doubt it would make things worse if they were only more general:

Thrash metal
Death metal
Black metal
Heavy metal
Progressive/power metal

that's all I would consider. That way, it could be categorized in whatever the last word is before the "metal" because of the adjective describing the metal. Like so:

blackened death metal is still death metal
Thrashy death metal is still death metal
....and Melodic metal is basically black metal
......

If you like the idea, go for it. I just completely forgot about the search function, so it's bit pointless now.

Why not? Black metal includes a ton of different styles.

This idea could work, but that isn't saying it is a good one. I don't want it to happen.

Agreed. If you are searching for METAL, you are going to get bands like Mudvayne, Slipknot, etc. If you seach BLACK metal, you are going to get darkthrone, and other bands. See, sub-dividing the genre helps, because if you like bands like Darkthrone, and Dissection and such, and want to find new bands, you don't want to be looking through Malevolent Creation and Cannibal Corpse, right?

Right.
