I also don't agree with the "if you don't buy it because of the cover, you are not a true fan" line of thought. It may seem like a shallow reason not to buy a single but, the cover IS part of the product you are buying. If covers truly didn't matter (as fans like to say), than no record company would even bother making them to begin with - they would just put the name of the artist and song on the front and thats it. Like it or not, covers do make a difference in the sales of a product. People aren't going to buy things that don't look appealing.
And btw - loved your blog post. Only I would take it a step further and say it began in the second half of 2006.
