otm then, otm now

thraed vs. detrius

detrius I don't mind, or at least it isn't the continuity with the misspelling that makes it a crap thread title, also it's only one month of the year (never click on the thread though)

fair

David Bowie's roundly maligned, nazi cocainey live album, STAGE: Classic or Dud?

David Bowie R.I.P

you guys have a case of the Shakes or what

i mean because it's so sad

The Native American Thread ("Dang Freeloaders...")

the MENA thread

the one with the devo pun

NPR - stuffy or sexy?

Cast the POLLs Aside: the definitive SMASHING PUMPKINS albums poll [Started by

I have had "What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line stuck in my head ever since this thread started

infinitely preferable to anything from that poll

American politics 2016: Lawyers, Guns, and D-Money

hurts every time I see it

Curb Your Authoritarianism? The 2016 Conventional Wisdom Thread (Elections, Part 6)

terrible

I dislike every thread title that contains the threadstarter's display name

I had to check that there wasn't one of these near the top of new answers so nobody thought I was singling them out, this is always bad even though it includes some of the best threads and some of the best posters, it is a truism but talking about yourself in the third person is horrible

like the only way that coach me up thread title could be worse is if it were called
the "White Straight Guy Who Sucks" Narrative and corresponding lack of "... Who Sucks" in anything other than indie snooze: ILX coaches Tombot up

the "White Straight Guy Who Sucks" Narrative and corresponding lack of "... Who Sucks" in anything other than indie snooze: ILX coaches Tombot up - best band since The Smiths?

i don't mind that clientele thread-title these days, though - it's quaint

lol

i had to google coaching up.

i mean i got the idea, i just wanted to know where it came from. it comes from a place i don't want to know anything about.

upcoaching

didn't occur to me that it was a thing! thought it was just a bad cute coinage

HIRALLY CLIMPS FOR PRESIDETN • US presidential elections part VII

lol i thought this thread was bumped because someone posted to that Le Fopp thread yesterday ... but yeah, that thread title is worse than Le Fopp

"part vii"

◦Songs where it's fun to say 'oh shit' or 'that's so true' after every line

thank god hirally climps is gone

I sort of liked it but you kind of had to be there for the origin.

Anyway, current title is probably the first objectively non-terrible election thread title in a very long time if not ever.

excuse me, i know all about ornaldo bloomps

yeah but it was still funny at the moment when em came up with it in whatever thread that was

new one is pretty bad too tbh

in a hillary vs trump way i suppose yeah

the new USA show MR. ROBOT: the rise of Rami Malek and the inexplicable solidness of Christian Slater

'inexplicable solidness' is just a very bad phrase i'm sorry

'inexplicable solidity' might have been even worse

every long poll thread title makes me want to leave ILM asap. still. after all these years. like, i don't even want to talk about music anymore when i see them. now that i think of it, maybe they are blessing because then i go back to work instead of talking about music....

I hear you. I'm waiting on a poll/discussion thread on the entire history of music from the caveman era to the present day.

they look like SEO'd-out ebay/craigslist listings

feel like all the music will disappear if we don't eventually poll it

maybe it's for the best

it might be. if i actually make the mistake of going ON one of those threads my initial reaction is: ugh, i gotta sell all my CDs.

FRONTLINE: the pbs documentary series not the flea medicine

noooo i love that one it makes me lol

Terrorism in 'Murica (aka The Homeland)

came here to post that ^
