~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Radiohead opened Pandora's box yesterday by releasing
its upcoming album online and asking fans to set their
own price for it. Now Nine Inch Nails said it will do
the same and Oasis and Jamiroquai are considering it.
This is certainly going to shake up the music industry
in a big way, but leave it to TopFive to ask the tough
question Billboard and Rolling Stone are afraid to tackle:
Exactly what kind of songs would you get on such an album?
