If I'm broke/not going to the store, I'll ask for a download.

Whether they do or not, album sales help them get and secure record deals.

I rather buy the hard copy of an album...just sounds better through the stereo. Downloaded music quality is always questionable and esp from itunes they don't give you the freedom as buying a cd yourself

do you go without bread because the grain farmer only gets a pittance from the loaf sold on a shelf? even if the band only makes a small profit who is it that paid for the recording time? the studio engineers? the video? the duplication and distribution of the album? the marketing and promotion? the label (or for the really independent stuff the actual band members). just because the vast majority of major label offerings suck more ass than this elephant... ... doesn't mean labels are necessarily bad. consider the quality of most homemade recordings on myspace vs. something released by a label. while some people are capable of getting decent sound recordings there are a whole hell of a lot of recordings that sound like they're hook up to Dumbo's nose up there. the label advance for recording an album can be the difference between a band working together in the studio and a band where 2 of the guys still have to work day jobs. at the same time (especially if it's independent) if the album doesn't generate sales it's going to discourage the suits from trying more bands from that style, a label can't pay its bills if the bands don't sell. i think the labels (especially the so called majors) don't really give a crap about what's popular just so long as something is that popular. |

I still buy vinyl records cause I like having a physical copy of something-and it sounds better, and you give the album the time it deserves, rather than burying it amongst about 1000 songs you don't actually listen to.
If it's the stones or zeppelin I'll download because they're going to be dead soon anyway |
