My thoughts exactly! I didn't stop buying cds because I burned them off the net. I've never burned a disc of the net before.
If good cds are released, I will purchse them (as I did with Audioslave and Queens of the Stone Age). Those are the only two discs I've purchased this year.
I am soooo sick of Britney, Christina, N-Sync, 50 Cent, Jay-Z and all that rap, R&B, Hip-Hop, kiddie punk (Avril, Good Charlotte) and bubblegum bands. I have gone from buying two discs a week (ten years ago) to two or three a year. It is not piracy, it is that the industry keeps pushing this horrible crap down my throat.
Is that (Songs for the Deaf) good? I've only heard that one release (that I like) they play on the radio "No One Knows"...
Audioslave's singles out haven't impressed me (I love Cornell's voice)...
For mainsteam rock, I like Chevelle, and mainstream metal, Disturbed---David Draiman is a truly gifted singer...
