I’m a bit surprised that some artists/songs haven’t agreed to sell their tunes on iTunes. I don’t know if it’s a monetary thing or a principle thing or a loss of control, but here’s some artists/songs that I was surprised I couldn’t get: a)\*\* Bob Seger \*\* - none of his stuff aside form a few special projects (e.g. “The Little Drummer Boy”) is available. b)\*\* Lady Marmalade \*\* (Cristina Aguilera, et al) - you have to buy the whole soundtrack if you want the song. :rolleyes: c) \*\*Kid Rock \*\* - The only freaking song of his that I’d pay money for (“Picture” with Sheryl Crowe) isn’t available. d) **Beatles** - now that the courts ruled on the whole “Apple” thing, I’m hoping to see the Fab Four on iTunes. e) \*\*BeeGees \*\* - two of their later songs (“One” and “E.S.P.”) aren’t available. Earlier stuff is. Go figure. f) Jessi Colter’s 70’s hit “ **I’m Not Lisa** ” is only available as a live version. Or covered by Ann Christy. On the other hand, I was thrilled to be able to download "Vangelis’s “Heaven and Hell, Part I” track for only a buck. It’s a 22 minute musical stream of consciousness, which is half of the entire album, but because it’s only one track, it’s just a buck. And some dude on iTunes educated me how to narrow down what I heard to just the six minute segment that appeared on “Cosmos”. 🙂 ---

I’m still surprised that **Tool** isn’t on there. ---

I was a little suprised that Garth Brooks isn’t on there at all. Nothing except a tribute band. I hate pretty much all country, but I grew up listening to it, and wanted a little Garth for nostalgia’s sake.
