Albums? People buy albums nowadays???

I guess most of those came out before kazaa and the like Still, I'm a single's type of guy. I have like 25 Led Zepplin songs on my HD, but have no idea which album(s) they came from. I guess that's just how my generation is

I actually did go out and buy an album last week...the first one I had actually purchased in two years. Neil Young's Greatest Hits....best shit ever man best shit ever.

....best shit ever man best shit ever.

Neil Young? Go buy Harvest now. Right now. Run, don't walk. GO!

TOOL's Laturalus and Aenima.

Harvest is good but decade is better. Get both if you can though because harvest has a few awsome songs not found in decade (like "Are you ready for the country") but decacade has alot more songs (most of them falling into the 'Fucking Kickass' category). I listen to alot of compilations so I don't really have anything worthy of listing here (though all my music is legal!!! YAY).

Here's what I can remember as of right now:

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes (1992)
Indigo Girls - Swamp Ophelia (1994)
Yo-Yo Ma - Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suites (1985 & 1998, but written a bit before then, doncha know)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (1975)
John Mayer - Heavier Things (2003)
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (1959)
Tool - Aenima (1996)
Broadway Cast Recording - West Side Story (1957)
Sublime - Sublime (1996)
Metallica - ...And Justice for All (1988) or The Black Album (1991), depending on my mood.

In no particular order:

Marc Broussard-Carenco
Metallica-Master of Puppets
John Mayer-Heavier Things
Matchbox Twenty-Yourself or Someone Like You
Matchbox Twenty-Mad Season
Nickelback-Silver Side Up
Fuel-Something Like Human
Linkin Park-Meteora
Linkin Park-Hybrid Theory
Michelle Branch-The Spirit Room

would you be surprised if i said my local virgin mega stil actually sells casette tapes and vinyl? and yes, people actually do buy albums. if the band is really good at least.

I can get any and all music on the internet for free, but I still will buy a CD every once in awhile. Really the only reason I buy a CD, though, is out of respect for a particular artist. It's more of a donation to them for making such good music...it's like I'm doing charitable work Cassettes (and especially vinyl) are a different story, because those are just old school and cool. Having a Zepplin CD is pretty cool, but having an original Zepplin record? Now that's just pYmp

Music is boring... I only like a song here and there, mostly because they're funny/clever.
