About the only major star that could compete if they started today is probably Prince. |
What a boatload of ***. How about Michael Jackson? Madonna? For crying out loud, Bjork can sing way better than both EWF and Led Zeppelin will ever be able to. And don't even get me started on people like Pink (have you heard ever heard her singing Accapella? I swear you'd be AMAZED!) How about Queen? You seriously think Queen could not compete if he started today? Come on...
Anyway, my point being is that your oppinion is so biased that it's added value to this discussion is basically void.
Regarding today's music industry, just look what we are being served from the MAJOR labels and it's TOP A&R idiots.
On the other hand, let's not forget that it's the BUYERS who actually support the choices from the A&R's. (For example, Britney could not be successfull without all the morons actually buying the records, how many morons bought and supported the record Paris Hilton released, how many times has it been played by MTV? All the top radio stations around the world, they all played it. You can't only blaim A&R's, after all, they only feed what the general masses longs for (as much as I hate it though).
