The artists could revive the album very easily: release albums with ten good songs.

It used to happen, in fact I think it must have been required. I haven't bought a newly-released album in ten years.

If Lars is against i-tunes, I am for it.

"I haven't bought a newly-released album in ten years."

I have. Direct from the independent artists themselves.

Screw the big labels for their greed. They will never get my money again.

[Bikers4Bush]

I agree, but you'll only get that from independant artists these days.

Imagine that.

"I haven't bought a newly-released album in ten years. I have. How the West Was Won by Led Zep. Wonderful. Best music purchase in a decade.

Your comment sort of begs the question, if you haven't bought one in ten years, how do you know one hasn't been released with 10 good songs? I think it probably depends on the type of music you listen to.

I still buy quite a few CDs, but maybe it's just my impeccable taste (joking, folks) that leads me to the best CD's available.

A list of recently released CDs worth buying

1. Traveler - Tim O'Brien
2. The Old Kit Bag - Richard Thompson
3. Dawgnation - David Grisman
4. Del and the Boys - Del McCoury
5. March 16-20 1992 - uncle tupelo (ok it isn't within the last 10 years, but it was re-released with bonus tracks last year - and it kicks a$$).
