@crazyeddy, the business got smarter and less willing to take risks.
Popular music (creativity) always came from the ground up, the street if you like. But nowadays the industry wants to supply it prepackaged, I don't think they enjoy gambling to find out which tastes will sell. It's probably too competitive out there, and they want a sure return.
This narrow minded approach has seen the market shrink alarmingly but the real killer nay have been the birth of the internet. If they thought home taping was killing music...
Oh well, things can change. Remember when someone once told the Beatles manager, sorry boys no contract, guitar groups are on the way out!
