You can't download lots of bands with back catalogs that consistently sell well. Zeppelin is not on Itunes, nor are the Beatles. The Stones just put their full catalog on Itunes recently. AC/DC, believe it or not, is one of the top ten all time worldwide in record sales. I think they’d rather just keep collecting massive chunks of change from cd sales, rather than have people shop ala carte for those two or three great songs they put out per cd.*
Itunes fucks you on song selection. You can buy every Ray Charles tune except Georgia on My Mind and if you want to buy the one tune from a record that otherwise sucked, Itunes will list that one good tune as “full album purchase only.” But on the balance, Itunes does still save you piles of dough over the long haul.
And I already own the entire AC/DC, Zeppelin and Beatles catalogs, so I don’t really care.
* There are several AC/DC cds which contain ten solid songs (Back in Black, Powerage).
