Most bands are not big enough to pull something like this off. Most bands need to release the singles in order to sell the records and get people out to their shows.

The days of great creative music are gone. Today it's no longer cost effective to produce new albums that might take 6-12 months to create. Tommy, The Wall, Beggars Banquet, Disraeli Gears, Sgt. Pepper's, Are you Experienced, Highway 61 Revisited, Dark Side of the Moon, London Calling, Who's Next, Electric Ladyland, Better still read em and weep.

Todays music is churned out fast, has to be easily disposed of and if possible can be reproduced on a stage.
Would it still be like that if the Internet didn't exist? Yes, not as great as those days. Still good. Because the Internet wouldn't be giving it away for free or so cut price it's simply a conveyor belt business.

Separating piracy from free is a red herring for pornsters. We give our product away for free. And eliminating piracy will have little effect on 90% of sites. The music industry would see a huge boost in revenue.
