MD> The Billboard sales charts prove you wrong.
How does the Billboard sales chart prove that when an album is sold, not
all the songs on the album are sold, only the ones that get radio
airplay?
I don't know about you, but every time I've bought an album, whether in
vinyl, cassette, 8-track or CD format, it I bought EVERY SONG the artist
put on it. And I can't think of any album other than "greatest hits"
compilations on which every single cut got airplay. Can you?
And if telling each other about obscure Prog-Rock we've found is
appropriate for this echo, then why wouldn't talking about Prog-Rock
songs that are found buried on albums of mostly non Prog-Rock material?
If mentioning an obscure Prog-Rock album by an obscure band who only
recorded a dozen copies is on topic, why isn't discussing a Prog-Rock
song that is readily available because it's found on an otherwise
non-Prog-Rock album?
Or are you going to tell me that since the song "Billy the Kid" from
Billy Joel's Aaron Copelandesque "Piano Man" is the only song he ever
recorded that fit the definition of Prog-Rock, it must be disqualified
because Joel doesn't have Prog-Rock credentials? Or Elton John's
"Funeral for a Friend" for the same reason?
