Though honestly, I'm not sure I liked them all that much before I saw them live.
Not in most US stores, no.
They don't let you listen in the store anymore? Holy shit that's almost as gay as Boy George spreading his ass cheeks for George Michael! If you can't give a CD a listen, how're you supposed to know if it's any good? I see what you mean with downloading to get to know a band now.Yeah this used to be loads of fun back in the day. Now they won't let you hear them because you'll realize you'd be paying $20 for crap.
Small CD shops used to be fine with it, but not the big chains. Sadly most little shops have all closed up, and the big chains are even going out of business. Well, the rap specialty CD shops which seem to be at every mall now seem to be doing okay, maybe they let you listen in the store lol.
every little town has at least 3 Wal Marts
Nanning, China has 1 that is 4 stories high and it's VERY popular.
...imagine that, Chinese stuff bought in China. We should import that logic
here in the U.S.
