I am also in favor of creating the group (net.music.[g]dead), mostly
because of a lack of interest on my part in the dead, and partly so I
could send this in with my favorite dead quote at the end.

What about the idea of net.music.poll?  Every few months someone
innocently (I presume) posts "What is the best/worst/favorite
song/group/guitarist...?" not knowing that the same question has been
asked half a dozen times already, and always the group becomes flooded
with drivel.  This won't necessarily stop all the drivel (witness the
responses to M. Dunn's request to be MAILED long/varied/whatever pieces
(I did, did you?  If not, fie.)) but it should divert a fair amount of
it.  Maybe the group should be top level so that the perennial "worst
sf movie of all time" discussion could go there too.  Comments?
