Well, if my prediction is anywhere near correct, then you won't have the risk of that any longer. Of course, you won't have the really great albums any longer either.

And why? Because the 1 or 2 "good" songs are so important to some people that they absolutely must have them... but not important enough to shell out money for the entire album.

But... yeah... you win.

(btw., this whole 1-2 "good" songs thing. I can't remember buying an album where that's been the case in probably 10 years. Why? Because I don't listen to commercial radio. The bands I like don't put out radio crap + filler. My opinion is that it's these commercial-radio-top-40-listeners that are now driving the direction of how music is gonna get released. And it pisses me, and and folks like me who take music probably a lot more seriously than them, off.)

No kidding... Bic Runga, Beth Orton, Iron and Wine... sheeit... There is so much more than this blatantly commercial crap.

Right... And a scenario where you heard this neat song on the radio by one of them, then rushed out to buy the album only to be shocked and dismayed because you didn't like anything else on it... It's just not going to happen.

S'all I'm saying.

Sandman · « **Reply #21 on:** July 24, 2003, 09:14:16 PM »

Sure it does... JEWEL.

's all I'm sayin'... LOL

The way I see it is artist may end up making more money. For instance, I rarely buy CDs. I am one of those that refuse to pay for a CD with two songs I like. I listen to the radio. Now If I could download a song for a buck, I'd do that. I'm sure there are others like me out there. Besides, I don't like carrying a CD player around. Still too bulky. But digital music will change that. I'd definately pay for digital singles.

Absolutely nothing... that was my point. Most people have never heard of her.

Ahh ok. Well check out the band steller*, her sisters lead vocals in it (Bo Runga), different style but great voice too.
