I just hate the ones that compromise their views for cash. Like the members of the DK did. Jello declined to let Levis use "Holiday in Cambodia" in an ad. So the band sued him and said that they weren't on MTv, VH 1, etc. enough. (Granted, they did actively perform a song entitled "MTv Get Off the Air", but I digress) And they weren't in Rolling Stone, etc. And their lawyer said that if they would have been corporatized, more CD's would have sold. So basically Jello had to pay damages on CD's that didn't exist.
There are plenty of bands that have bastardized their music so they can sell more records. Look at Blink 182. They completely alienated their fan base by doing whatever the label told them to do and they became complete pricks.
f***, Weezer almost got kicked off their label because they went into the studio before Maladroit came out (paid for it themselves out of pocket) and did previews of Maladroit. Then they put those up for download on their web page because they like their fans. Their label got angry and nearly booted them for that.
And I really don't like MTv forcing music down my throat either. If you've heard "Pull My Strings" by the Dead Kennedys, it really shows my feelings towards the corporate music industry. I'll take my independent record shops and independent bands, thank you very much. Cuz quite simply, they are in it for the music and obviously not for the money since they don't get paid all that much.
so if you change to sell more records you suck??? i consider that a smart buisness move.
