I was by no means around for the big vinyl scene, but I do remember my tapes. I can remember listening to the few, my favorites over and over again. It got to the point where the order was important. I could hear the notes for the next song as the current song was ending. An album was a whole, a unit. And I loved them for that. Great albums got rewarded because they were good units. The second biggest downside to the new mp3 players is listening to the songs from an artist alphabetically. (Or randomly, but really is that any better?) I do not believe that you will find 'alphabetically' in the rock n'roll dictionary. However I think the biggest downside to digital music is the availability. And I don't necessarily mean the illegal stuff. I used to get a new album once or twice a month. That is a pittance compared with the service I belong to now which floods you with 90 songs a month. All that music and not enough time in the day to listen to it. A cliche, but becoming more true each year. My standard for an album used to be listening to it completely four times before passing judgement. Now I am just lucky to make it through to the letter 'z'. Am I complaining, no I don't think so. But I thought your comment was interesting. Is good music becoming diluted by the availability of quantity and crap?<BR/>I don't know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
