Please explain how someone on the breadline can afford all these luxuries - yet not afford a cheap basement CD on price reduction?

I ain't paying for this. It's my dad's computer. I didn't pay for this PC or internet provider. Sorry I sound spoilt but I can't actually afford a PC or Internet provider or an MP3 player for that matter

You search the artist you want and they’ll show all the songs of that band which are on all the music radio stations at the moment. You click on the song you want and you can hear it. Sometimes the music fails because they’re always changing. My Fairy King is a bit rare, so maybe you’ll have to wait until the songs change again and show it. Good luck!

Sorry. I really didn't know that, or I would not post it. I don't want to cause more trouble. How can I remove it now?

Anyway, Girlz back in town, if you need some help on Queen songs and you have msn: add: musicalprostitute@hotmail.com And maybe I can get you in a good mood ;-)

Well, I recommend buying official CDs or at least borrowing that album from someone who owns it ( if you can). Just my opinion...

How can you miss it - it is plastered all over the site : Do NOT post official material. The reason for this is that such thoughtlessness can get this site closed down, and then where will we go? Just purchase the bloody albums - and ignore all such trolls.

Well i have the internet etc, but i prefer to save my money and buy the CD's because its always nice to have the sleeves etc. And i take pride in being able to buy my own things by earning the money to do so. So i suppose maybe this is a generalization? I dont download music although i do burn them from time to time. But I do consider myself lucky that I am able to get my hands on CD's, although getting my hands on Queen albums that arent ANATO are rather difficult where i live. But i do get them online. So in that aspect you are right.
