The problem with these threads is that they're self-indulgent.
We all have those albums that mean a lot to us that aren't very high in the charts, but no one cares. Why would someone chose to listen to an album because one person in a thread said you should, rather than listening to an album in the top 200, that hundreds of people have put in their charts. I'd love to post some obscurer albums that I know and think should be higher, but so does everyone else, and you can't have an interesting discussion from all talking, no listening.
It's not just this thread, many on this site are the same.

Hmm. I think it's more of a personal/general thing here. In these threads, people don't feel like it's personal and won't take these seriously, while in a chart comment or a message, they feel the choice as personalized and you're more obligated to listen to the recommendation.
