It's 1999. Why are you paying for music at all? Napster still exists for you.

If you got 3 tracks off a hip hop album you’d nailed it.

Yes, there are exceptions, we now call them classics

It was like that though.

Back in those days you could listen to the record/cassette/cd in the store before you bought it. They would have these headphones you could use.

So it's not as big of a problem as this meme would make it seem.

I bought Finger11 for paralyzed and then realized it was by far their best track.

Napster was reparations for Soul Asylums Strangers With Candy album.

Try $20 of disappointing CD.

When people who didn't like rock/metal bought an Extreme album because they thought all the songs were like More Than Words.
