tracks that were album tracks were at the end and in the CD era where you had to have a heavyweight 15 rounds usually track 11-16 was the dead end tracks.

i miss the old days because acts before the cd era had a limited amount of time and they got the best stuff on their period.

8 track era had interludes earth,wind and fire, isley brothers did it and it would click over rick james had that as well if a track was more than 5 minutes long.

i feel the CD and Mp3 era made things unnecessary longer and its cost alot of filler material which truly sounds like 2nd and 3rd tier tracks which ain't got no place on any album.


with albums, tapes and cds folks always went to that one track or two nothing changed their.

i still groove with a tape player because the sound bangs and its what i like.

in hip hop the money tracks were front and center as well nothing different their either.

everybody knows the hot song and then everybody knows the filler section.

you had to have a bumping first track on side a and a killer track on side b
