Various Artist Compilations
If you noticed, Play.com's Dance section's home page is full of more Various Artist Compilations than you can shake a stick at.

Doesn't this perpetuate the common belief that all Dance (Electronic) music is monotonous, and similar? It only discourages creativity when DJ *insert random noun here* says, "I can always collect royalties if I sound like them, and make my way onto their compilation disque."?

(Please move if this doesn't belond, I am a noob here)

Re: Various Artist Compilations
i think it shows Play.com's lack of imagination and commitment more than anything. The dance community is made up of a more singles/12" genre than the rock community for instance, which is more album oriented. As play.com dont sell singles then various artists albums are going to be more prevailent in the dance section than anywhere else.
