Screw politics, religion and other coffee house banter... Here's one to really get your feet muddy.
Would you sell a track to Britney, Christina N'Sync et al... ???
Come on kids, fess up. $50,000 for a 5 minute fluff number filled with "Philly Hits" and one note bass lines...

Songwriters don't sign to a label and churn out tracks for a wage, popstars might.
You have a problem with major labels? Would you write a song for George Michael? What if Prince wanted to cover one of your songs? (if you don't see the relevance of those two, then go read)
Yes, major record labels have killed music, but that means you shouldn't write songs for popstars?

There's your difference Influx. Why shouldn't you take the labels' money? They've taken enough of our in the past. If you ain't buying, you ain't supporting. But I'll be damned if I wouldn't take money from the sheep!!

Not having to do shit we don't want to for money is the hallmark perk of being a musician. It should make us happy not to be drones like everyone else. And if you're poor and starving and don't succeed, at least people will understand, "hey, they're a musician." :}

I wouldn't agree with that - if anything compression etc is MORE critical for radio/pop
