The Diversity of Classic Rock
Great post – I am a late-comer to the streaming of music. This is in part because I like the physicality of a CD and now, once again, and more so, the vinyl. I love to read the sleeve notes and admire the artwork.
But you make a great point regards in ‘the old days’ we effectively ‘tried and bought’ via radio and latterly tV shows. And in this respect Streaming is no different.
I have many friends in touring bands and they, at the time they would stop over at our house when on tour in this country, were dead set against streaming, for the reasons you outline.
Now it’s all change. Streaming has become a necessary evil.
Just a shame some people are getting rich off it – and it ain”t the artists.
