Kids today. Thanks to mp3s and iTunes, they will never get the chance to appreciate a rock album as God (or Sandy Pearlman) intended. Especially one of those tedious prog-rock albums of the 70s by Yes or Genesis.
OK, now while that might be considered a blessing, it's a safe bet that even though the Sex Pistol's "Never Mind the Bollocks ..." or Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" were not concept albums, per se, they were compleat musical experiences, hermetically sealed aural travelogues where the artists and producers made conscious decisions as to what songs came first, how they segued into the next and where and when to fade in or out.
I salute Pink Floyd and their efforts to keep it real by suing EMI about royalty payments, the right to "unbundle" and redistribute of how the art was originally conceived.
