i think the whole digital age, itunes/mp3, thing is a huge mistake. i feel that 'albums' are on their death bed. before my girlfriend went to college i basically put my entire music collection on her ipod, hoping should would find some music she would really like, but now i think that was a bad idea.
some stuff needs to be listened to as an album. sit down and just listen to it. i remember in the peel slowly boxset lou reed says something he makes music for people to sit down alone and listen to. but now its more likely people find one or two songs they like and just listen to them and miss the whole picture. if you told someone to check out lou reed's berlin they would download caroline says II and be done with it. but if listen to the whole album, there is an experience in there.
i almost feel sorry for people today that will probably never hear a neil young album or a beatles album, or pearl jam for that matter. even if they are a big fan and know all the songs they may never listen to an actual album....

I'm an album person all the way. Since I was really young, I've loved albums. To me, studio albums are like a greatest hits or a best of...the best stuff they recorded for an album. Even non album songs are incredible (Sad, Down, Yellow Ledbetter). HUGE Beatles fan, HUGE Pearl Jam fan, HUGE Led Zeppelin fan, HUGE U2 fan...all of them make great albums from start to finish (although "In Through the Out Door" and "Pop" are kind of tough to listen straight through).

You've really got a bug up your ass about these guys, haven't you?!
Don't make me start a thread "5 worst albums of all time'' or ''5 worst songs of all time''
If you do I'll be in there contesting you because with a scope like that, AC/DC could be considered a breath of fresh air.

Talking about death, one man definitely has to be mentioned: Cliff Burton
Cliff Burton's death wasn't a mistake he sadly had no choice in that bus accident.

yeah it's pj ... with u2!! my god why would they want to associate with that band?
I know this wasn't the first time, they opened for them during the vs era, bono performed with them a few times (that sucked)
but this is another level; the 2 bands actually playing together, I don't understand why pj who have a lot of credibility would choose to perform a song with u2. do you know who else performed with u2? probably a good portion of today's shitty singers /bands (that makes sense)

When the day comes when Pearl Jam reaches the success level that U2 has, that day PJ will have as many or more detractors as U2 has today.

Don't make me start a thread "5 worst albums of all time'' or ''5 worst songs of all time''
Not for me, I bought the albums I liked after downloading them.
It is illegal for artists to rip us off with crap albums after we paid money for them.
i think the whole digital age, itunes/mp3, thing is a huge mistake. i feel that 'albums' are on their death bed. before my girlfriend went to college i basically put my entire music collection on her ipod, hoping should would find some music she would really like, but now i think that was a bad idea.
