Interesting Admissions From Record Industry

way2trivial writes "Many in the Slashdot community say the reason music sales are off is the content. It appears the industry and some music producers agree. In todays NYTimes magazine there is an article that says the quality of todays music is the problem. I have an issue with one part however, it reads "...and the once lucrative album market has been overshadowed by downloaded singles, which mainly benefits Apple" and here I thought Apple made most of their money with their hardware sales and a pittance on each track, giving the majority to the producer."

    Zepplin I can understand but AC/DC?

    Zeppelin did three good songs: Black Dog, Rock n Roll and the Immigrant Song. The rest is all turgid fake blues.

    Now AC/DC... did they do a good song?
