What do we need in the Industry right now?

YaBoyDrew	Date: December 24, 2003 @ 9:45 PM what do you think the music industry needs in general.... not just hip hop or rock or wuteva but the entire music industry?. I think we need more artists true to themselves n not on sum dumazz gimmick
Veracohr	Date: December 24, 2003 @ 9:50 PM We need more mostly naked women!! Er...I would say we need label mooks that cared more about music and less about money. And that goes hand-in-hand with another thing we need, which is for labels to stop manufacturing performers. Let artists come out the traditional way.
HeadHuntaz	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 1:49 AM more people that can do other stuff than just sing or rap....the people that i'm most impressed with are the people that play multiple instruments, make beats, sing, rap....do it all....those are my favorite musicians
YaBoyDrew	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 2:39 AM haha niiiiiiiiiiiice The Roots are my shyt
pog	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 5:59 AM I think certain aspects of the industry need a Terminator or 2
sepidman	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 10:32 AM Perhaps what the industry needs is true artist development and not artist manufacturing. I am in the country genre but I believe it is the same for all regardless of musical style. I do write, perform and play guitar as well as piano. You will also find me in the production and arranging chair as well. That is what I enjoy most, production. Sooooooo, industry.....develop some artist would ya, and get away from the 5 and dime manufacturing!! Brian Dolph
sepidman	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 10:34 AM Sorry if this is a repeat of my previsous post. The thing said my post failed. We shall see won't we!

sinai	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 3:38 PM it needs a better faster and larger version of Kazaa.
withering	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 3:55 PM More artists true to themselves
BenRebel	Date: December 26, 2003 @ 12:06 AM What the Music industry needs is More control given to the ones that make the music
dasuspectz2002	Date: December 26, 2003 @ 11:08 AM what the industry need is for all the independents to supourt each other and wipe the majors out. we need to hook up and network our resources. their is a lot of inde labels/artest but we all tend to hate on each other and be unsuppourtive.

trillcitypoet	Date: December 26, 2003 @ 11:30 AM i agree with dasuspect.
Lcrowley	Date: December 26, 2003 @ 12:16 PM yep here's a third ... We have the talent and the resources to do it ... We just need TO DO IT !!!
sepidman	Date: December 26, 2003 @ 7:44 PM The majors are already having a about what is going on in the industry. Give tha fans what they want. Good music! Many are tired of the same old cookie cuttter crap they get to har on radio. Support your local non-commercial staions, The community ones and such. It is surprising how many are tuning into them these days as an alternative. Same with college radio. Done properly each genre should be able to produce a high quality comp and distribute to these types of stations.
monsquaz	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 1:21 PM What we need is for Clear Channel to go out of business. Only then will the airwaves be free from brainless, plastic music.
sepidman	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 2:41 PM True, I hate cookie cutter music. Everything the same on every station. That is one reason I like to seek out college and community stations.
invocati	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 4:43 PM Excellent contracts and more airplay for independent artists.

figfarmer	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 6:47 PM What the music industry needs is to get its head out of its ass and start making custom CDs in the record stores and selling them for what kids know a CD is worth because they rip them every day. In other words, you walk into a record store, pay sixty five cents for a cd, twenty cents for a case, and eighty five cents for each song you want on it, MP3 or CDA, your choice. Then you decide, no label, black and white label twenty cents, pretty coloured label, one dollar. That is the only way the industry is going to regain its footing and artists get paid for their work. Why the hell would a kid pay fifteen dollars per CD for twelve Cds to get nine of his favourite songs when he can have them all for the price of a blank CD from Kazaa?
figfarmer	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 6:50 PM I meant nine CDs to get twelve songs. Oops.
sepidman	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 7:59 PM hey fig!! hmmmmmmmmmm, where have we heard this before??
figfarmer	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 10:02 PM On CNN?
sepidman	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 11:53 PM Nope, you and I....coffee shop CNN only covers wars don't they???
figfarmer	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 7:48 PM And Michael Jackson. I wish I could get that much publicity by not having sex. The amount of sex I haven't had I'd be the best known person in the universe.

TameasDust	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 5:48 AM The ability to license the rights for your music instead of having to give away the copyright forever ...
victorsskull	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 4:25 PM a big mac and fries would do just fine for me fuck the industry!
BenRebel	Date: January 3, 2004 @ 9:58 AM this industry need people how really care about music ...and the people doing it..
blooddshedd	Date: January 3, 2004 @ 3:12 PM the industry needs more boy and girl bands.... can't get enough of them
MickeyBreezy	Date: January 3, 2004 @ 4:07 PM return of hair bands
MickeyBreezy	Date: January 4, 2004 @ 8:49 PM and mc hammer
figfarmer	Date: January 4, 2004 @ 9:01 PM I'll return the hair bands, but I might need the hammer some day.
leerees	Date: January 19, 2004 @ 7:57 PM We need online record labels that allow people to stream music for free but pay for mp3 downloads we need peer to peer networks like kazaa to block copyrighted music. thats the only things the music industry needs in order to survive and for artists and record labels to earn what they rightfully deserve and for consumers to listen to and buy the music THEY want!
