iPod killed the album star. Joel Send a noteboard - 07/09/2009 10:42:32 PM
As a true believer in the album experience this is a phenomenon I've long observed. Indeed, the ability to put CD players on random, or omit selected tracks in seconds, started the trend, but either way it predates mainstream internet access. Expect a lot more one hit wonders as it becomes increasingly easy to obtain the only decent song a given band will ever record. I take what solace I can in the knowledge they'll never make a dime off it, and that bands who want staying power (and rent money) will still have to produce quality ALBUMS. Meanwhile, I remain convinced people who say Sgt. Peppers was the best album of all time should be forced to listen to "She's Leaving Home" until their brains explode (I give most folks about ten minutes. ;)) Ditto the White Album and "Number Nine. "
