Sufferedphoneix 07/18/22 9:46:49 AM #4:	When I think selling out I think altering their sound to be more mainstream. Which i also mostly don't have a problem with. Sometimes it ruins the band sometimes it makes them better. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"

KodyKeir 07/18/22 11:17:44 AM #6:	I'm not a fan of corporations, but If Electric Six had not licensed their song "Danger! High Voltage" for a car commercial, I would have not known of them. There are a few songs that would have completely flown under my radar if they had not been used in commercials. https://youtu.be/R-FxmoVM7X4 --- Why didn't you DODGE‽‽‽ Quoting me will trigger the profanity filter, Not Joking.

Garlands_Soul 07/18/22 12:49:07 PM #7:	When I think selling out I think more losing their sound for whatever is corporately viable and sucking worse. Like simple minds. I don't give a shit if a song is in a commercial that's ridiculous to care about. --- "I, Garland, will knock you all down!" <cite>Garlands_Soul posted [p:966660270] in "Sell...

DarkMinun 07/19/22 7:56:32 AM #8:	THey can do what they want, but if they lend their sound to something that I consider morally objectionable it will effect my opinion of them. I'd love it if crappy musicians would stop licensing their stuff for commercials so I wouldn't hear it as often though. --- sdoo <cite>DarkMinun posted [p:966678884] in "Sell...
