I can agree to an extent, however, the point of being able to share tabs is being able to share what you know and love, and while popular songs may be more universally recognizable, if what you know and love is not necessarily popular, you should still feel and be free to share it anyway. I know for me, hunting down applicable midi files and/or sheet music to learn the rythm & timing of an unfamiliar tune is half the fun of this or any other tab site, plus it broadens my horizons musically speaking.
There's nothing like stretching your limits to improve your playing. If all anyone ever sticks to is what they know, then nobody will learn anything or improve their skill, and we might as well all just play the radio and leave the music making to the "professionals." (Check out [

Well that's enough soap-boxing from me.......for now.
