Stop compressing our bloody music!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree. So much of the music I enjoyed in my younger days was compressed that it’s hard to listen to it today with latest gear I have. 

One of the worst: Metallica's Death Magnetic! Dynamic range of 3db! The New York Times had a report about this CD and the widespread use of compression in modern rock.

Compression, is all about.
Creating a wall of noise, so everything is at the same level, so you can "hear it all" even is noisy situations
Using it in the car (noisy background)
While walking outside (noisy background)

Compression also protects eardrums because you turn up the volume in those situations, if it wasn’t compressed you’d blow your ear drums out or blow up your ear buds on the first dynamic slam

And from what I’ve been told, compression saves quite a bit of "space" in streaming, downloads and transmissions.
Therefore it saves on costs and makes those companies even more money.

And what are we left with resembles nothing like what we were supposed to hear, and the artist/s intended.

Agreed.
