Just because kids are given freedom to buy individual songs they want, doesn't mean the artform will die off as Mr. Bon Jovi implies. As Lilo mentions, the industry might just revert to being singles-dominant. You'll still have musicians put out albums with "art" in mind.

Of course here is the clutch at Bon Jovi and other people's argument: With there great albums before the mid-1960s, when the "album" became more famous and respected than the songs within it?

Well yes there was.

Besides....what if the kids liked the songs and then decide to buy up the album? Selling some of them sort, no?
