Double Albums

[spartacus53]

I remember in the 70's many groups came out with double albums and most of the songs were good enough to pluck down a few extra dollars. Even Yes, came out with a triple album which was unheard of. When I see the majority of groups playing today, they are lucky if they can fill one album with decent songs. I don't see many good singer/song writers around. Am I wrong?

No, you aren't wrong. Ask people what their favorite song is. In a lot of cases it will be a classic from their earlier years. Then ask them what's their favorite song that was recorded last year. In my case, I would look dumbfounded.

I think there's alot of bands out there today that could put out a double LP,but where is the $$,all of my kids friends download for free or buy off of I-tunes,I still have 2 turntables and about 150 Lp's,I even go to record conventions when I can and here in Austin we have a independent record store that still sells Lp's.The last record I bought was the 6 record set from Bruce Springsteen.
