Let’s face it, there is very little great music being released, at least by the major labels. Why? Perhaps it is still due to the majors looking for one hit wonders. Or, could it be due to the lack of skill among some of the musicians/song writers? There used to be a part of the music biz called Artist Development. The key to that was development. Don’t put out crap, instead lets develop the skills and sound so the product that is put out is quality.
Granted, we can all purchase top notch recording gear at rock bottom prices, so now we can get our ideas recorded. Storage costs little and with the development of MP3 technology, it costs nothing to get your song onto the internet. There are so many free resources now that it seems FREE is the problem.
