I thought their good albums were released on a major label too? I agree that money as a motive can ruin the creative process. I just don't really see the harm in a label recognising a band has the potential to sell lots of records if they are also hands off when it comes to writing the album.
Shouldn't it be that anyone CAN put out a DIY records, not that everyone is obligated to? I record with a budget of barely £100 a song. If a label gave me thousands of pounds and left me to my own devices, I wouldn't suddenly sound like One Direction.
