Good point. It looks like there is a glut of recording artists out there putting out albums, and most are pretty crappy. The record companies these days are giving any two-bit act a record contract, and then standing back to watch the results. If it sells, they further fund that artist. If not, they eliminate them from the label and they get no further funding. This has led to lots of musical choices in the music stores, but lower quality of choices. I seldom buy any CD's because alot of it just sucks. There are some bands/artists I do particularly like. I just wait for them to release something new and get that.
