Michael Jackson released his albums like this....1979, 1982, 1987, 1991, 1995, 2001 Beyonce = ....2003, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2013 Rihanna = ....2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 Kanye West = ....2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013 Most major artists back in the day released albums yearly. The Beatles sometimes released more than one album a year, and those were just LPs from their primary catalogue. That doesn't even include the US-only albums put out by Capitol at the time. And to be fair to MJ, he was often criticized for the unusual delay between his album output.

While I totally get why they don't do this anymore a part me (mostly nostalgia) kind of misses it ....junk food commercials geared towards children when I watch CN or Nick I rarely see that many candy or cookie commercials during kid blocks plus all the happy meal commercials now just show you the more healthy version of them now (Apple slices , milk , mac and Cheese).

Telephones that are actually attached to the wall.
Having to take film to a photo shop to get it developed.
Gas that is under $2 a gallon.
Having to get up to change the tv channel.
The thrill of reaching level 8 on mario brothers on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Getting lost in a strange city and having to ask someone for directions(this admittedly could happen, but with the proliferation of GPS' on your phone it's not likely.)

Being able to buy comic books outside of a bookstore or a comic book store. The last place i saw comics sold (that wasnt the aforementioned bookstore/comic shop) was an airport newsstand around 07-08.

passing notes in class\in between classes. i still have some from high school I can independently confirm that this is has not died and is--in fact--still alive and well. Probably stronger than ever, as a matter of fact.

Having to wait in suspense as the local stations ran school closings hoping their school is closed This still happens. Why is it going to die? Oftentimes it gets on the air noticeably quicker than it does online.

Just using Madonna as an example of always having music out to add: 1983 - Madonna 1984 - Like A Virgin 1986 - True Blue 1987 - Who's That Girl & You Can Dance 1989 - Like A Prayer 1990 - I'm Breathless & The Immaculate Collection 1992 - Erotica 1994 - Bedtime Stories 1995 - Something To Remember 1996 - Evita 1998 - Ray Of Light 2000 - Music
