Not even for free...
Here's what I mean when I say that RIAA music is crap:
Out of the seven FREE songs that I've accumulated over the past few months (no, I don't drink much Pepsi), here are the songs I went with:
- Becky Baeling - Heaven is a Place on Earth
- Howard Shore (The Lord of the Rings, Return of the King soundtrack) - The White Tree
- Shakira - Te Aviso, Te Anuncio (Tango)
- Los Lobos - La Bamba
- The Bangles - I Will Take Care of You
- The Bangles - Manic Monday (Acoustic)
- DJ Company - Forever Young
Note that three of these are remakes of old material, one of them is old material, one of them is a song from a film score, which leaves two songs that were made in the last year or two. One of them is by The Bangles, whose song I chose off of their new release (bet you didn't even know they had a new release, since the record companies don't give a damn). The other is Shakira, one of the very few "new" artists I like.
I mean, c'mon folks. If I'm having this much trouble finding good music for FREE, what do you expect when you charge me as much for a one hour album of songs as I pay for a two and a half hour DVD? Please stop insulting my intelligence.

According to a recent Slashdot post, the Pepsi promotion is supposed to end soon and only 5M of the 100M free songs have been redeemed. I was surprised it was so few.
