kinda hard to sell stuff to the free sh!t nation... somebody steals the cd and posts it online, who's gonna buy it when they can download it for free?
Bring back vinyl.

Lower than the 1850’s? That is bad.
When you can rent a huge library for less than the cost of a CD Why buy?
Mechanical media (CDs, tapes, etc) are a thing of the past (although I personally still prefer CDs- I buy from Amazon)
Today, even downloads are becoming a thing of the past because people subscribe to streaming services such as Spotify or Rhapsody...which are sort of a *Juke Box in the Sky*.
Artists are begging for scraps- they make next to nothing from streaming audio. The only *real* money left in the music business lies with the publishers.
They still sell albums?
In all seriousness, I haven’t heard new music I liked enough to spend money on in a while.
Good. Let Hollywood... movies, TV, and Music... die.
The last time I saw a CD for sale in a store, it cost over $15. I considered it laughably overpriced, because it probably had 2 good songs.
About what most new music is worth
What’s an album?
I have a ton of CDs, but I don’t listen to new music. I listen to classical and Sinatra mostly. I have all off Sinatra’s albums, so I don’t need more (unless they are SACDs). I still buy classical; either pieces that are new to me, or different versions by different conductors of pieces I already have. However, I don’t listen to any new music.
This says it all about what passes today for music.
Everytime they rehash old Beatles’ songs into a new collection, it immediately goes to Number One on the most downloaded list.
SUIT: What we need is no rock music and more bro country music and more hip hoppity music with lip syncing strippers. Sales will skyrocket.
There hasn’t been any decent music since the 1960’s and 70’s!
I love music and was trained in piano. However, whoever said the following is absolutely correct....."too many Americans today don't like music, they like noise."

I actually bought a CD today as a matter of fact. It’s was the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack.
Loved the movie and the music on Starlord’s “Awesome Mix #1” took me back to a time when my mother introduced me to good music.
Modern popular music just sucks these days.
Ooga Chaka Ooga Ooga Ooga Chaka...
I saw that kid ‘Whiz Khalifa’ (”Blacc Hollywood”) on the TV show “Ridiculousness” and they showed some brief outtakes of Whiz with his shirt off yelling and gesticulating.
And I turned to my better dice-half after he had pretty much exhausted himself, sporting all those gold chains, and said to her, “We should get that album.” and that gave her a pretty good laugh.

Not a lot of good music songs, artists, or bands out there...sorta stopped in 1990s..besides youtube got almost everything. Now I’d only invest in a CD if I really liked more than 3 songs on it.
