Okay, I'm dabbling. When I turned off of commercial radio in 99, after practically all of the rock stations in the Denver area got gobbled up by Clear Channel, I lost touch with alternative music in a nasty way. I kept up with bands I liked, but that was pretty much it.
Enter, a few weeks ago, Sirius. So, now I'm several years out of date. I've been listening to Alternative Nation (I can't do Air America all day; the ads for quack medicines and crap get to me) and find that I like what I've heard of Good Charlotte. So I want to buy one album to start.
And no, I won't download them all from some sharing service. Artists get a shit-cut of their albums, but at least they get that cut.
Which one?
On edit, if you're going to call me a poser, and them sell outs, then please refer me towards something else, because obviously you have an opinion....
