I already bought Band Aid and I'll pick up We Are The World SE.

Both have money going to a good cause right?

I don't give a rat's ass what people were wearing. Have we lost sight of what's important?

I know the Band-Aid trust still exists. No idea about USA for Africa.

No, which is why I said no one complains because it is charity. If the money indeed goes to charity, then I hope it sells 10 million copies. I still don't think that gives them the right to make ridiculous claims.

Picky, picky...I think the real "difference between our two cultures", as noted by Numanoid, is that Americans don't have quite so many bugs up our shoots...

ok so i'm going to buy this

but we're arguing on wether USA for Africa or Band Aid is better...fact of the matter is one could suck and the other can be the greatest thing ever, but fact of the matter is they raised money and opened our eyes to a bigger issue...so lets not bitch and troll eachother out.

Two words for you: Freddie Mercury. And it's UK for the win!

Freddie wasn't actually on the Band-Aid record, though he was certainly the star of Live-Aid.
