All true, but forgotten is the fact that some really AWESOME music came about because of massive record labels. Who would know about some of the (deserving) giants of music (at least, the music of my youth) without those record labels taking a chance and putting their huge behemoth energies behind this or that up-coming band? The labels aren't the problem. The problem is that the days of experimentation, of taking chances, is gone forever. Nowadays, if it isn't SURE to make money, no one will bite. This isn't purely the record label's fault, and demonizing them won't make the problem go away.

You don't need hundreds of millions of dollars to promote a band in 2009. Plus the record company people always snort all the coke.
