Kids today have missed the whole experience of putting the headphones on, turning it up to 10, holding the jacket, closing their eyes and getting lost in an album; and the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of still pictures and imagining it.

–Jon Bon Jovi, in an interview with The Sunday Times

I’m sorry, Jon. You are an idiot. I like knowing when an album is a bunch of crappy tracks crammed in around the one or two hits that will get overplayed on the radio. I like to know this before I spend my hard earned money on the music. If you want people to buy albums, make music good enough that people want all the tracks. Then, they will buy the albums.
