reminds me of the following...
============================================
Yes that's right, [punk] is dead
It's just another cheap product for the consumers head
Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors
Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters
[CBS promote the Clash]
Ain't for revolution, it's just for cash
[Punk] became a fashion just like hippy used to be
Ain't got a thing to do with your or me
Movements are systems and systems kill
Movements are expressions of the public will
[Punk] became a movement cos we all felt lost
Leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost
[Punk] narcissism was a social napalm
[Steve Jones] started doing real harm
Preaching revolution, anarchy and change
Sucked from the system that had given him his name
Well I'm tired of staring through shit stained glass
Tired of staring up a superstars arse
I've got an arse and crap and a name
I'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame
[Steven Jones], you're napalm
If you're so pretty vacant, why do you smarm?
[Patti Smith], you're napalm, your write with your hand
But it's Rimbaud's arm
And me, yes, I, do I want to burn?
Is there something I can learn?
Do I need a business man to promote my angle
Can I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangle
I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear
The social elite with safetypins in their ear
I watch and understand that it don't mean a thing
The scorpions might attack, but the systems stole the sting (CRASS)
=============================================

Nah, those guys just found a way to make money quickly. They're appealing to the greed of the big producers, who obviously have swallowed the bait. I don't think this will change anything - the same people who buy the 'hippest' and 'coolest' music will continue to do so, and those anti-social, dirty rotten morons who don't understand the value of that great music continue to buy that pitiful crap they call 'underground music'

I bet that company is going to milk the music business until the Harmageddon, they'll just release newer "more accurate and up-to-date" versions of their software each year. This will also enable the evil CEOs to fire their 'club scouts' and trend consultants, because they think that program already gives them all the necessary info. Well done Polyphonic! You're just convinced the greedy bastards to replace the brainless wimps with an artificial brainless wimp and you're probably making a hellofalot of money with that too! Hahahaha!

I f**king hate it that these morons are obsessed with 'hits'. F**K! What happened to the days when it was about personal expression through music? Almost any music will connect with somebody, even if it's not millions of people. If this 'technology' gets widespread use, you can say goodbye to a lot of prospective bands and releases, because now EVEN LESS people will be willing to take a f**king chance...

F**K the music industry!
