Possibly something to do with the amount of manufactured & copycat bands around at the moment.
Regarding song downloading, I don't do it much, but when I do download a song I like, I will try and buy it on disc. Admittedly, that's not always possible as the version I download may be a rare remix, or an old song that is no longer available. Even then, I do know a good second hand/rare records shop that I often buy discs from (Beanos in Croydon if anyone else knows it).
