discogs is the shit. fuck spotify, and their corporate plants in every other "personalized" playlist they generate. at least you have something to show for your money 25 years later and a company can't decide to arbitrarily stop offering the music etc.
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.
But you owned it. So you could sell the CD and recoup almost all of your money.
Except you couldn't? You would get $1-2 bucks for most used tapes/LPs/Cds.
The person who made this meme is too young to know about reselling stuff they own.
When people who didn't like rock/metal bought an Extreme album because they thought all the songs were like More Than Words.
