Okay I'm pretty sure every one of us can say that we have not bought a CD in at least the past 5 years or more. I mean, we just get the music from our friends now or we use LimeWire or something on a home computer (definitely not a school computer!) However, the last CD I think I have listened to was Van Halen's debut album "Van Halen" on the way home from work last night. Why did I listen to that album? Because that CD was a staple in my Dad's music collection that he would often listen to while I was growing up. I swear I've listened to that entire album 100 times. How can you resist Eddie Van Halen's guitar shredding skills or David Lee Roth's somehow catchy vocals? And how can you resist hearing a cover of a song done by The Kinks that escalated into a hard rock masterpiece that received more radio airplay than the original recording itself?
Over half the people who read this won't know what I'm talking about. The other half have a darn good taste in music. I don't care if it's from 1978. You say songs from 2009 are old. I mean really? It still sounds good and it still beats the crap out of modern rock. That's all for now.
