Down with re-release artists

This has also caused me great grief.

I'm not so upset with remasters because if it truly is the same songs, just remastered, I am not necessarily going to miss them.  You've still got the song in some form...and it's the original, which holds a lot of relevance forever.

When artists re-release CDs (contemporary, brand new artists) and a Facebook page is created for it, people should boo and say get back to the studio and finish your CD.  Don't just throw a few quick tracks at fans to make a buck.

I'm to the point where I *only* buy compilations, live albums, or 'greatest hits'.

It may be time to reset your ideas of what matters in life...  and what doesn't.  This hardly approaches "great grief"; when it hits you, you'll know it.  :o

Now that was harsh. Would a simple "Your grief is meaningless" not have been enough? ;D

Just sick of everyone focusing around making a quick buck when it leads to grief and annoyance of thousands--plus diminishing the art of music.

Simpsons episode where Homer annoys thousands of people to make a few measly dollars -- auto dialer system.
