The other side of the coin is that with all the radio stations and video
outlets (i.e. MTV) usually only showcasing one song you don't know if
the album ISN'T a one hit record with a bunch of filler. I liked things
better when you would be able to hear more songs and decide if you
wanted to buy a record. It was also a helluva lot easier to pick up a
record on a hunch when it only cost $7 or so. I took a lot of chances on
records in high school and college cause it was so cheap. I'm a lot less
likely these days to drop $15 when I've only heard one song...

I think that the mainstream music industry has gotten itself into
this mess. By concentrating on one hit wonders and manufacturing
celebrity, they're blowing out whatever percieved worth their music
has. Why do you need to buy a crap album for the one good song on it
when you can hear it on the radio several times a day, watch the
video and then download the mp3. Who needs the album?
Kids have such a short attention span because there is nothing worth
turning their attention to for more than a few moments.
