Music has always been this way, at least for the last many decades anyhow...  The producer will tell the artist what to do, and he/she really hasn't much choice, if he/she wants a paycheck.



The Sex Pistols are a great example of a "fabricated" band also, don't forget...



True artists are very rarely given much freedom to do what they want.  A small handful could demand artistic control, other didn't give a shit and did what they wanted to (Nirvana), but most just dance to the tune of whatever label is issuing them cheques.

The Sex Pistols were just one of a large number of "contrived" band or performer. Some were in fact real bands and artists that simply got "hired" by studios and producers to perform songs guaranteed to sell. The original contrived band was The Monkees, of course, but others include The Sweet, Mudd, Susie Quattro, New Kids On The Block, Milli Vanilli, Kylie Minogue, Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler and many more.



That does not make them "bad" as artists, but it shows that the idea of producers, rather then artists, creating music with the artists being the front man or woman has been going on for years. Now the cycle is complete and producers own the entire industry. Artists either play the record labels songs, or go nowhere.

There may be exceptions, but they are few and far between.  Even most radio stations are told what to play, so to even get airplay would be near impossible for the 'non-connected.'

No so. There are loads of great musicians out there cutting albums, touring, and making an average or better living by doing what they want on their own terms. You won't hear them on traditional top FM type stations though.

One thing that's certainly a plus now...  World Wide Web.



We now have more power to listen to whomever we want to, than we ever did.  I remember, as a kid, going into a "record" store, and wondering if they even stocked the album/cassette/CD that I wanted.  Often times they did not.  Sometimes they could 'order it in' for me...  Sometimes they could not, or the dunce behind the counter didn't even know what I was talking about.

There was a British production team called Stock, Aitken and Waterman. They wrote and produced most of the major hits for The Sweet, Mudd, Susie Quattro and Kylie Minogue in her earlier days.



Meatloaf and Bonnie Tyler were engaged by Jim Steinman to do vocals on albums he wrote and produced.



New Kids and Milli Vanilli were worse; they were simply mimers to original songs produced and recorded by a production company, but the singers were session players who could not perform on stage. They were, in effect, actors.



The Monkees did not even play on their early songs until they rebelled and threatened to quit unless allowed to write and play their own music (after at least one had to learn to play). Their early hits were written and produced by Neil Sedaka, Neil Diamond and Carole King.

Micky Dolenz could not play any instruments. Nor could Davy Jones, who was an actor, not a musician.



Peter Tork was a folk musician and Mike Nesmith had limited guitar skills. All were selected for their acting ability, as a means of countering the British Invasion led by the Beatles. It was a farce.

Believe it or not, they are. They suck, but they have been a real band from the start. Same with U2 who could not play either.

No, not remotely. They are a circus act.

Of course.



I didn't mean to imply otherwise.



But there are soooooo many talentless, unimaginative, whiny millenial performers who pick up an acoustic guitar and just play simply country music style chords and riffs to sing about how bad the world is, why they can't find love, why they don't have money and why they can't get music lessons.



Case in point.

Quote from: "Angry White Male"Music has always been this way, at least for the last many decades anyhow...  The producer will tell the artist what to do, and he/she really hasn't much choice, if he/she wants a paycheck.



The Sex Pistols are a great example of a "fabricated" band also, don't forget...



True artists are very rarely given much freedom to do what they want.  A small handful could demand artistic control, other didn't give a shit and did what they wanted to (Nirvana), but most just dance to the tune of whatever label is issuing them cheques.


This is true.  The music industry is fucked.  I like my peaceful little life,

What kind of music do you listen to Berry?


Actually....I really don't listen to music.  I find it boring.   Majority of music today is just garbage, stupid lyrics.  I seldom listen to classical, or cd's of water sounds, chimes, birds chirping.



When I was younger I enjoyed Micheal Jackson, some Madonna, not much.



I found myself listening to Boney M last night...little drummer boy and feliz navidad.

Is there any older music you like?


Yes there is...not at the top of my mind right now but I'll think and then post if I remember.





It's like a memories night tonight...I just told Lo a bunch of stories of her when she was little and some Xmas stories of when I was little....it was quite fun! She enjoyed that.  I'm thinking of getting the old projector out and watch films with Lo of me as a child....projector and film...gawd...I'm getting old! Lol
