90% of which is indistinguishable from one song to another

Worse than Dylan's?

No kidding on the Akon that year… ugh, that Sorry, Blame It on Me song was the worst. Okay Akon, we get it, you danced with that underage girl and didn't card her to make sure. I don't need to hear about it in a literal sense on the radio every horu!

I still give Bobby Brown songs from the late 80's a listen every so often.

Oh, come on now… pop culture was forever altered for the better by the emergence of t.A.T.u.

They had a cover band play my high school dance freshman year, and they did their version of Faith. I thought, "Oh, wow, interesting take on the George Michael song."

Around 2000-01, they were sometimes in the $15-20 range. The lesser-common stores like Pamida could jack them up to $22-23 or so.

Go on…

I hated it back in the day, but can tolerate it now due to the nostalgic factor.

I'd love it if they did something like that… $10 for everything but certain new/exclusive stuff, and you pay extra for those things once their available or however long you want it for. My only fear would be that they'd somehow justify a reason to crank everything up once they have the excuse too (people raising rates…

I usually confused Blues Traveler and Sister Hazel back in the day, myself.

Ah, to be young…

I bought the old SW Trilogy paperback with all three novelizations in them, probably a little before the Special Editions came out. Wore that poor thing out, probably!

Disagree on Lapti Nek… Jedi Rocks is an atrocity in every sense of the word, mostly. And for an alien tune, Lapti Nek does have its moments.

I think the reason they gave eventually was that they could never get the costs down in producing the whole thing, ultimately. At least that's the explanation they gave anyway, so who knows?

Prequels-era: "WHAT IS THIS CRAP? This isn't Star Wars! Too much CGI! Terrible script and acting!"

YouTube link. NOW.

Hmmm… Return of the Jedi meets All the President's Men, you say?

I suppose I was thinking more about the John Smiths who had all their label money put into recording the album, then had to pay the costs back through touring and maybe barely getting out a profit if they were lucky (which might not be far off from what it is nowadays anyway).
