Did anyone consider that those people are selling music? Do we have our noses so high in the air that unless it's 24 bit, 24 carat gold, 180 gram, digitally re-mastered, virgin, original OBI, and all that other nonesense that it isn't music? I would much prefer some of the "junk" you guys are thumbing your noses at to the over-produced, overly sterile, junk that's being peddled today as quality sound. Who the Heck needs a seventh copy of "Aqualung"? How many formats do you need to hear a piece of music in before you enjoy it? I grew up listening to Alan Freed out of New York on a smuggled am transistor radio under my pillow at night - so my mom wopuldn't catch me. Why? Because they were playing MUSIC. Tap your feet, sing-along with, can't get enough of it MUSIC. I'd rather be able to hum or sing along with a good tune than be able to tell you the proper temperature to Cryogenically freeze a CD for optimum sound quality. Sorry if I offend, but I'm sick and tired of people who listen to equipment - and totally miss the point about the piece of music being played. So, like Al Anderson says on the fabulous album "Pay Before You Pump" - I'm gonna leave a little "Hiss on you."
Tired of the horse manure,
