It's too bad in the near future you won't be able to find classic rock albums with classic album covers like Abbey Road by the Beatles, Sticky Fingers by the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin 4 by Led Zeppelin, Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith, Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton, Destoyer by Kiss, Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen, Hotel California by the Eagles, Rumours by Fleetwood Mac, Highway To Hell by AC/DC & 1984 by Van Halen anymore along with many other artists as I found out going into a local Media Play because they are becoming history since most people download songs from the internet even though they defined the era just as much as the music.

The recording industry cries about their downturn in sales and, at the same time, release uninterseting artists in uninteresting packages..
Not only this, but, they charge far too much for the stuff.Comment

Here at the Army, I have seen provocative, inspiring and stirring art all in the scope of 100 pixels by 100 pixels. With the creativity here, a CD case translates to a grand scale the likes of Mona Lisa herself.
The trouble, my friends, is that the music world is a lot like my kids. They want extreme returns for very little effort.
