I will agree with one thing, which I've stated many times before. Music that has come out in the past decade or so will be forgotten a decade or so from now. There has been a severe drop in the "timeless" music catagory. Nobody's gonna care about this crap. You know why? Because most of it isn't art: it's a PRODUCT. A product created and designed with the sole purpose of taking your hard-earned dollar. And the record companies are wondering why everybody's downloading this crap for free? Your record sales are down? No shit! Your target audience has either grown up and out of your intended 14-year-old demographic, or has moved on to being force-fed with whatever the next trend on the top 40 is. One interesting statistic will be...for all these "rock bands" that have become ever-so-popular in the past few years...I wonder how much of a surplus there will be of fast food employees in the future?
