Who still buys CD's??

Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 3:15 AM By: Craigo

Hey Gang, picked up the new La Futura Cd on the weekend. Gotta say I'm pretty impressed!! Had to wait a bit longer 'til the local music shop got in in stock.

I've got a theory on buying CD's. I kinda figure that if we, the fans, stop buying them, then the bands will stop making them!! Here's a list of the last 5 I got.

1: ZZ Top- La Futura
2: The Angels- Take It To The Streets (Legendary Aussie Band)
3: Lita Ford- Living Like a Runaway
4: Joe Bonamassa- Driving Towards the Daylight (Seeing him play in a couple of weeks)
5: Slash- Apocalypse Love (Saw him last month)

Anyone else got a list they want to share!!


Cheers from down under.

    With any group, if the majority of the songs are good, I'll buy the CD.

    I still buy CD's. there's something about owning the case too, the thought that has went into the art work and design of it all, being able to read the linear notes. for me its all part of the listening experience. i used to work in a music shop, so maybe i,m biased :)
    last 5 cd's were:
    La Futura
    Rolling stones: grrr
    Beach Boys: thats why god made the radio
    Emily Smith: to long away
    Teenage Fanclub: Shadows

    I ordered my Owner the last ZZTop CD, he was a little disappointed. My kids do the downloading of music and play it from their phones. I am NOT that technical savvy so CD'S for me and Owner.

    I buy far too many of the dang things for my own good. I got an Eastern Electric DAC and the cds have never sounded better. Downloads are fine, but I prefer the cds as they are usually cheaper than a download when you gettem second hand.

    La Futura was the second last one I bought, the one(order) before that was 3 of the Rory Gallagher remasters, before that the big box set of Larks Tongue in Aspic by King Crimson(the big BIG box set version). Last night I ordered up a spot of Holger Czukay, just for a change.

    Yep, I buy far too many of them ............:-(

    La Futura is outstanding, best thing they have done in decades.

    I'm a vinyl kond of guy. I have all the joe bonamassa albums on vinyl, and also most of the zz top albums. for me personally vinyl is great because you really take the time to choose music. Therefor the way of listening is often more intense. thats my experience with it.... all so personal of course.

    last cd I've bought, next to the la futura cd, is I feel like playing from ron wood. Billy also has a guest performance of it. This ron wood album is one of my favorites of all time!

    Hey Craigo!

    CD´s are the best way to buy music today, evrything online is s**t.
    Here in germany it is not usual to buy CD´s anymore, and this sucks, i had to search nearly one week to find LA Futura in CHemnitz!

    I think CD´s are better than downloading!

    hey Craigo I still buy CD's, dont trust those on-line stores, know too many people been screwed on by them.
    if you want to put the sounds on an ipod or something then thats easy, an if it goes wrong you've still got the CD. Love my old vinyl too, something about vinyl coming out of a card sleeve, hendrix's Electric Lady Land for example !
