We asked you to tell us what you think the last song you bought or downloaded for free was actually worth by sending us a picture of what you would have traded for it. Here are some of your responses:
"The last music I bought was the Raincoats reissue from Kill Rock Stars. I paid a grand total of fifteen dollars. Of the eleven tracks, 'In Love' is now one of my favorite songs ever. I paid roughly $1.36 for the track. That's about how much I would pay for a VHS [tape] these days. I'd trade my VHS copy of The Scorpion King for 'In Love' by the Raincoats."

"Last song I downloaded was Rodriguez's 'Crucify Your Mind.' I would say it's worth my giant-size Timmy H travel mug, used daily, loved deeply."

"Sense Field's 'No Man's Land' — only worth half a Snickers, 'cause the song is half good."

"Edwin Booth statue in Gramercy Park for 'It's Only Rock N Roll.' "

"The last not-free song I downloaded for free was Eamon 'F*ck it' — it was worth a broken toliet."
