In my very own little private take on the subject I see it this way -The recording industry is ruled (or should that be Fukked) by money , A@R men for major labels probably wont sign talented bands because they are talented BUT because they fit into a genre such as boy band, numetal {it's all the same to them,as long as they fit into one of their marketing categories then they are a marketable product}
so as long as a band will sell... that's all they want.
This leaves our Original Talented band (OTB) with the option of going to a smaller label.
Major Radio station managers have a lot of dealings with these "record" labels so one can see that OTB certainly will not get radio air time, by and large, due to the ad revenue and kickbacks which major radio stations get from major record companies who squeeze out the smaller companies and their products.
This probably has something to do with Karl marx and the objectification of labour, if you trace it a back to the roots.
And the punter bends over and takes it up the arse as usual.
basically "is it gonna sell a load and make us some cash"is where it's at in the recording industry.
My tuppence/2 cents worth.SNS.
Accuracy,you say? hmm interesting concept..
