It’s amazing, frankly, how few of the people involved in the music industries are actually musicians. We don’t mean those who can play an instrument or sing a little, but those whose professional livelihood comes from them performing their songs. We don’t like to be too negative towards the music market, but it can be a little surprising to find out how much of the money you spend on music doesn’t go to the artist. In an ideal world there would be no need for a music industry, with musicians being able to directly sell their music to their fans, but this is far from an ideal world.
As much as there are those who say that the music industry is killing the music industry by itself, most of the bands you listen to would never have made it beyond pub gigs without work by the labels. You have your research and development, taking the raw sound of a new band and making it marketable, those involved in pushing and promoting the band, getting them interviews in magazines and slots on TV. Though it does undeniably take a lot from music, the music industry also gives a while lot back. NB
