Re:Still a little bit expensive

I tend to think of buying the average CD as paying a few bucks for a handful of good songs, and then a bunch of filler thrown in for free.

This keeps coming up again and again, and I really have to wonder what "artists" you people are listening to. Stop buying pop crap, and you'll stop getting crap.
