You are kidding yourself if you think that money does not change music from its purest form. You are also kidding yourself if u think that many of the excellent musicians that this list was set up to discuss, press limited quantities because they think that is all they can sell. I think that in the music industry more than any other (except maybe fashion) 'consumer soveriegnty' has been taken over by 'producer sovereignty' that is; people don't necessarily buy what they like; but they buy what they are trained and told to like by the marketing arms of huge music publishers and record labels that have bottomless budgets and employ trained psychologists to f**ck with peoples heads that really should know better.
