Volvy Digital Malevolence Volvy Digital Malevolence Volvy Digital Malevolence But regardless, this isn't a debate about music history, its the fact that whats been popular through out time hasn't ever been good, so todays music is no different from that of any other age except the style of music thats being popular. But even thats a slight change, it was pop stuff back then and its pop influenced stuff now. My whole point of contention is that this is opinion, not fact. And that, by and large, the ability of quality acts to gain any level of real popularity is lower now than it ever has been. The music industry has always tended to push second rate material that was "safe", but at least bands that weren't the focus of the pop industry could sell some records in times past. Bands who aren't the focus of the pop industry do sell sell a lot of records now. neutral I guess. it just feels like the window is shrinking. The internet isn't exactly helping things. Plus, most of the best artists do sell records to make money music but do it because they love making money so they don't really show it off. wow, I screwed up the most important part of what I was trying to say there. Thats how its supposed to read. sweatdrop

Digital Malevolence The internet isn't exactly helping things.
On the other hand, the advent of MP3 downloads has accelerated the music business's trend towards becoming a purely hit-based industry. The majority of the buying public has little interest in artists' catalogues outside the proven chestnuts, and they've spoken with their wallets--the only reason for them to buy full albums was because there wasn't any other way for them to get at the hit songs they wanted. Thus, they either cherry-pick a handful of tracks to download, or just pirate everything left and right, only bothering to listen to that same handful of tracks. And piracy is a whole 'nother issue...

Shadowlit Facade Tell that to the decagon. talk2hand Psh, tetrahedron ftw. Actually, circle would work too, given a sufficient perimeter. I think we're confusing points with vertices.
