Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Led Zeppelin weren't arsed about singles, they were an album band. They also attempted to cheat musicians, and have succeeded in some cases, out of money they deserved for producing great material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 There is a much bigger market for pop music now due to population growth and advances in technology. There is also a lot more money put into marketing agents of satan such as the Black Eyed Peas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15561 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Aye. You can hear any song from any era and buy it straight away, wherever you are. It's not exactly comparable to fingering the new releases at Woolies every Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
