    There are a lot of living legends that are still doing greatest hits tours bc they got screwed in record deals

    Im all for artists standing up for themselves.

    This sounds like a billionaire simp post

    No, I'm not a billionaire simp, I just took these two opposite cases and tried to find some explanation for why things were like that and why now they are like this.

    the people you listed are like a tier celebrities where they got complete control of their artistry at this point

    a average artist signed to a label is pretty restricted

    Billionaire simp above.

    You either simp those who do nothing and get checks or those who sometimes do something and then relax for next 3 years.
    Hard to understand people who are flying in private planes for ten years, and then say Muh Masters.

    quick history lesson here for you

    during the 60s competition was so fierce that if artists hadn't dropped in a year they most likely forget about you

    between 65 to 67 (where competition was probably at its most fierce)

    Kinks dropped 5
    Stones dropped 9
    BB dropped 6
    dylan 4
    Yardbirds, 7
    the Temptations, 6
    Ray Charles 5
    beatles 3 or 4 if you include MMT

    generally the industry standard back in the 60s were four singles and two albums a year, as that was the industry standard

    smh, fast food music. Imagine the forums for this era of music lmao
