Just the way it is. There was a piece on music in The Guardian or The Times
over the weekend - and it seems like there is a real divide. Us elderly like
albums and physical objects like LPs/CDs - whereas the youth thinks of music
as a track for their mobile/MP3player/computer. There's also the fact that
the 40-50 year old segment is the largest buyers of music in the UK and that
most people tend to mellow into timesqueezed boring old farts and listen to Wogan
and the like. And this is the effect. Not sure if "your" list is worse than the one I saved
exactly two years ago under the header
"The worst UK Top 10 Album chart ever is officially here"
