On the heels of the recent Replacements Reissue, it got me thinking about how bands get crushed in the transition from independent label to majors.
This thread is specifically dedicated to lamenting those bands who couldn't survive the leap.
Replacements - Pleased To Meet Me[i/]- Man what a dissapointment. They started compromising their music and kicked out bob stinson. they lost their roots and were never the same again.
Husker Du- Candy Apple Grey This record should have garnered some hit songs on the radio but it was really weak compared to the last three. Mould and Hart started developing big egos and churning out songs rather than being inspired. They really wanted to breakthrough and would do anything for it. How else do you explain them being on the Joan Rivers show?
