I was going to say that “this article is the perfect definition of a slow news day”, but then I read so many posts celebrating this news...

Whatever...
This is the only Apple Music news I've ever seen on this site where the replies aren't full of anger and bitterness. For some reason.

I'm gonna go listen to some Nirvana to mark this occasion. ;)

Nickleback! It is Nickleback that starts all of the flame wars with stuff like "they're not a real band", "too much hair, too little talent", etc.

I was just thinking the same thing - practically every other post about various artists being on Apple Music is filled with people racing to tell everyone they don't like that artist, or that kind of music, or insisting that the music in question don't really qualify as music. It would seem that those who don't care for Def Leppard are much more tolerant.

Despite my music tastes having left the Lepps behind, Hysteria is still the sound of 1987. Added on AM and will likely get bought as well.

Welcome to the digital age DL

And don't forget Winger. I personally like a lot of their songs, but mention them and you will get a rise out of a certain group of headbangers.

That's because they were the whipping boys of Beavis & Butthead... and Lars Ulrich didn't like them.

I bet they'll all sing Seventeen and Headed For A Heartbreak still tho.
 
Genuine question - why are are people so made up about this? Surely if you wanted DL on your iPhone before now all you had to do was rip the CDs to iTunes and sync?

FINALLY! To celebrate, I'm going to start off my morning with "Pour Some Sugar on Me".

Excellent news and welcome!!

Seems like Iovine & Cue are doing something right, not just joining the competition for streaming but rights to sell their entire catalog of music!

Man brings back great highschool memories! Still some lyrics I’m confused about though.

Now iTunes music on iOS just needs a UI overhaul and design layout to be rethought about action to functions.

sigh, it's like Nirvana never happened.....

Good! That was a very depressing distraction in music ... like all the Mods, Chelsea’s, and Emo’s bought a concert hall and broadcast station. Eeek.

I’m more of the Disco/Funk, House, and Hip-Hop guy ... even so I prefer Rock (Hendrix, Led Zeppljn, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Van Halen, Metallica ~ 1st six albums, and a few others). Yes I’m guilty for liking Limp Bizkit (the band man the band), linkin park, rage against the machine ... yeah. But Nirvana ... we agreed to disagree the moment you typed that band ;) cheers.

Funny thing is I love Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix; to me Nirvana was just the natural progression of that type of rock music (strip away the bullc**p). But Limp Bizkit? Man you must have done something wrong in a former life.....

My very first ever concert was Def Leppard when I was 12. During their Adrenalize tour. Still the best rock concert I've ever been to.

Lmao ... regarding the Limp Bizkit comment. Yeah I guess I did hehe. I just let loose nose gobblings while reading his at the bus stop.

I just couldn’t get into Nirvana just was so depressing but I do recognize the significance in music history and their stardom. Looking forward to future posts in the thread what you’re listening to now.

At first, I got real excited when I read the headline, then I realized it said "available to stream."

The one place I would listen to music the most is work, but despite being in a very tall building in a large city, my LTE connection is practically non-existent at my desk. :(

Wake me up when the songs are available for sale, at least the songs for which my CD copy is too scratched up to rip.

Lol, I just checked iTunes this afternoon and saw the songs were also available for purchase. Thank you to everyone who gently corrected me on that one!

Thats all well and good but where is Garth Brooks! Biggest selling country/music act of all time.

I like the idea of Apple Music and streaming in general but my OCD kicks in when you get an album and its missing certain tracks.

I'll be sticking to purchasing music for the time being.


Unfortunately Garth has an issue with iTunes, as well as Youtube and other services. I am a big fan, and saw him 4 times on this past tour. Brought my daughter to the last concert and she has a great time, and we were on the jumbotron 3 times and I was looking for video clips on youtube and after a lot of research I learned that Garth has videos removed from Youtube because of the fees google pays to songwriters and artist.
I imagine that's part of his issue with iTunes as well as he believe albums tell a story and he doesn't like selling singles only.

Maynard of Tool has a similar viewpoint. He won’t allow any Tool albums to be on service like Apple Music because he believes those albums should be listened to from beginning to end in one sitting and that there is no other way. I gotta say, I HATE this viewpoint. I do listen to albums from start to finish, but sometimes I just want a particular song. If I purchase your art, then I’m going to consume it in whatever manner brings me enjoyment. Interestingly, his other bands (A Perfect Circle and Pucscifier) are both on AM.
