I get that buying an album is better than not, because that is still some money for the artist. But sales from the actual music have not been a proper income for the artists for a long, long time. Like you yourself said, you just bought 5 albums at 3 dollars a piece, factor in the cut taken out by whoever the song/album is sold through, and that most of these bands owe a lot of money to record companies/labels, so that album sale is not going to go a very long way, if anywhere.

All the semi-popular or underground bands I like will tour constantly and make and distribute their own merch, buying a ticket to a show and a t-shirt will be a lot more helpful than buying 10 of their albums.
