When an LP like that was released every year or two, it was a significant event.<br /><br />That can translate through Metallica and then Nirvana for the 80's and 90's, perhaps.<br /><br />Today's creative and well produced music is available so often and from so many sources that I don't find myself pining for new music from a particular, favorite artist like I used to anymore.<br /><br />I dare say that if artists like Madonna (or the Eagles) were just starting their careers today that they would <b>NOT</b> be the superstars in the pantheon of music legend as they currently hold. That isn't to say they wouldn't be successful, just not regarded as highly (or mythically). Rather than representing a limited number of summits of creative music, I suggest they would be just another artist amongst the milieu.<br /><br />Cheers.Scott Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800262564360659174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010292891685799733.post-73647339564839620222012-07-06T06:00:50.517-07:002012-07-06T06:00:50.517-07:00streaming...and a world-wide recession.
