Back in the days we were paying 10$ for an album. Then Napster came.

Now we pay 100$ for a concert.

Try Metrolist maybe.

Where were you buying CDs for $10?

I was lucky if I found something I wanted under $20.

$10 an album? Before Napster there was literally a class action lawsuit against the music industry because albums were like $22

I bought my first album in 1977 for $7, which is $37 in today's money. It's pretty insane to think that the entire music industry back then was about getting people to pay $37 for a piece of plastic. Avocado toast eat your heart out.

I remember 1977. I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin!

It was Yes ("Going for the One") for me. Led Zeppelin was for the burnouts!

Sorry, I was doing a bit from Everclear lyrics. That’s super cool that you saw Yes for your first concert. My first concert was Aerosmith in 1992.
