least favorite thread titles

Goat ropers need love too.

When will y'all realize that Marissa Nadler is the nu-gothique schnizzle?

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Blood Lust (One of the best rock albums this year)

stop telling me what to think ffs

it doesn't have "POLL" in the title, can't be that awful

Jesus -- I really do, now, doubt humanity after coming to find that after six or seven or whatever years of ILX, that there is no specific (Clan Of) Xymox C/D thread.

this perennial least fave is back in SNA:

I have had it up to here waiting for the Beatles catalogue to be remastered

especially since it's now been several years since the beatles catalogue was remastered, and now the thread will be devoted to nitpicking those remasters until the beatles catalogue is remastered once more

acknowledging that there wasn't already a thread for the topic in the thread title is my biggest forums peeve

as someone that cares about threads and thread titles, i find that kinda cute tbh

I have nothing against Creedence, but I really hate this thread title

If you actively dislike Creedence Clearwater Revival, then I can never respect anything you have to say about anything.

noize borad aesthetic continues to suffer in so-called 'twenty tens'

Aussie/Kiwi Guitar Pop- The scenes that just keep giving and giving

still waiting to find out if anyone's heard of spotify

maybe if it were NSFW

Spike Lee: Dud or DUD?!?

This title just reminds me of that Simpsons episode where he was on the spaceship full of crap people heading for the sun, and much like that episode I do have to wonder whether a white director with as many brilliant films under his belt would get this kind of treatment.

QUICKLY what is your favorite album released in the year of your birth?

sorry but that QUICKLY is anxiety-inducing and pointless and grinds my gears

Yes, why must it be quick? I want slow discussions of things, just firing things out without context is pointless listcruft.

Why are Japanese films so terrible?

They're generally not, you're obviously terrible, 'Pete'

It isn't that part of a series? French, Italian, whatever?

Probably, it's just dispiriting that particular thread has been the main nexus of debate.

What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

^ always bums me out because AOC is awesome and sometimes I just want nice things to be nice, and I know the title wasn't meant in a sexist way, but it kinda makes me feel icky because so often prominent women in American culture are criticized and attacked for way more petty bullshit than men are, and this thread title reminds me of that fact.

it was changed for precisely those reasons! then the pedants came out.

What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

i automatically think there’s a clusterfuck going on in that thread when I see it revived PRECISELY because of the title

sarahell, maybe you can start a new thread and see if that moves folks off it?

ok i've remembered the worst one

there is not one album in existence that better on CD than on vinyl is there?

That fkn Beatles thread man, constantly reliving a first world problem from 2005

Ebay Fever!`

I keep wanting to rub that little mark off my phone screen.

Why is everyone not going totally bonkers about the junior boys?

Yeah the extremely wordy titles with multiple negatives and posed as questions make me IA.

I feel like if we had a word count of every thread named in this thread, the super long ones would probably be disproportionately represented relative to their absolute number on ILX, but then again, I could see it being a pretty even spread, IDK but someone should definitely not waste their time doing that: C or D?

Lol

So, Does Everyone Hate Cass McCombs?

Well played Doc.

oh that actually is a link to the actual thread lol

that thread title is tremendous, speaking as somebody doesn't gaf about santos (george)

tremendously labored

out of character amongst the laconic restraint of the average us pol thread title maybe

I really don’t think the creator of

Has there ever been one of those "who wants to play the drums?" moments in a concert where the guy just trainwrecks?

and

Find me (1) a Grateful Dead lyric (2) that could be a band name (3) but is not already taken by a jam band or dead tribute. Half credit if it's taken, but by a band that has nothing to do with the De

And ofc

Please please recommend me some non-embarrassing duets I can do with my female coworker at the office christmas party

has anything to say about anyone else’s thread titles.

lmao

mark s is an all-time thread titler of course

i like the title, it's the right amount of goofiness for a grifter so ridiculous, and it makes me hum the title
