They'll ask for song recommendations (ie- anyone know any good songs?) and won't specify the type of music or era they're most interested in. If I respond to a vague question such as "know any good love songs", I'll recommend older songs, because that's what I'm most familiar with. I occasionally get 'thumbs down" perhaps because the person making the request was looking for today's music.
If they're into up to date , modern songs, they need to let people know that so that they don't get a bunch of people recommending "oldies". If they prefer classic rock, old school, etc, people need to make that known too.
It would also help to know what genres in particular they're looking for: country, rap, r&b, rock, metal,. emo, Broadway,alternative ,etc?
I myself can recommend hundreds of different songs from the 1920's through the early 90's. Naturally I don't have the time to list all of those when someone asks "know any good songs"
So it does help to know some parameters.

i agree with you. i've made recommendations to some real vague questions, and end up getting thumbs down, cuz the asker doesn't care for the bands i recommended. Askers really need to be specific. so now i barely answer those questions, because i bet the askers dont even care for a majority of the answers.

I absolutely agree.
Whenever someone asks for 'Rock' songs or bands, I either:
give a list of my personal favourite Classic Rock selections
or
make a flipant answer asking for more details / parameters
If people want good answers, they need to put more thought into their questions.

I agree completely. I honestly like to see a list of 4-5 bands that show a spectrum of what the person likes. How am I supposed to help if I have no idea what you like?
Cheers.
