At some point someone that relies on radio will either dig deeper or keep listening to what's being fed to them.
the death of the single, Mankie should read this.
Occasionally you'll get a few good songs though. For instance, The Strokes.
Wow, who are these guys? Why is everyone comparing them to the Velvet Roomband. Who are they? Oh, the Velvet Underground! Oh, and they have a greatest hits? I should pick that up.

Yes, we all know that. But someone's either looking for something similar or completely opposite.
Essentially, Rock is just fast music with different band names.

Originally posted by Yank:Jeez, you old timers are missing the point here. Yes you still buy singles. You are in a small minority, the middle aged rock fan.
I'll bet Paul Morley used to walk 37 miles to school, everyday, even in blinding snowstorms! I'm far from being a kid and I still buy a lot of singles…both cd and vinyl.
The kids dont buy singles anymore. Its a dead medium. Even top of the pops is going. Radio one has its lowest listening figures ever. Music is becoming culturally unimportant, a niche.
