the thing is, every band nowadays, to some extent, has to expose itself to some kind of corporate mentality in order to sell stuff, or even getting on the press.... i.e. - pay people to put your picture on a magazine, get good reviews, get reviews, get video rotation, get a pr agency at all etc etc
this is the real problem above all, in my opinion. those with the money win big time.
i say let everyone enjoy whatever they want to, if that suits their own taste.
imho, the sad thing is that (it goes without saying) most of the time a band backed by huge financial assets is pure crap.
always bear in mind the line from G.A. R.'s timeless Dawn of the Dead:
Peter: Ain't it a crime.
Stephen: What?
Peter: The only person who could miss with this gun is the sucker with the bread to buy it.
