Good! Of course. Especially if you're living in an area fairly cut off from the rest of the world. Unknown or new bands have no way of getting word around, and us poor people have no way of broadening our musical knowledge. I'd know far less than I do now if it weren't for the internet. And have much less in my library too. Downloading's issues are far blown out of proportion, the only bands that mind enough to complain are ones who's heads are too far up their own arses to be worried about.

It has been good. Many bands that might have never been noticed get real popular becasue of Myspace and such.

I definetly think it has been good...Without MB i would still be listening to generic CR. And without the internet there would be no MB. The internet in a lot of ways has opened me up to a lot of different music.

Of course before the internet every single band that made it deserved it, right?

The internet has caused wires to be crossed.

Bands like Waking The Cadaver and Job For A Cowboy are hailed as Death Metal. They're not. But do to mass media, impressionable kids are corrupted into believing things like that.

The internet causes the true forms of music (the archetypes if you will) to be become diluted. The original meaning and art form is rendered irrelevant to these people. It's sad and frustrating.

So the internet is bad for music because it causes bands to be put into the wrong genres... Personally I think that's a complete load. Kids aren't precise with their genres anyway, and quite rightly so. They're hardly the most important thing about music. And the "archetype" bands are still around. Only you'd have a hard time finding them if it weren't for the internet.

no, but alternative bands had to work for it.. constant tours and a series of releases before their peak.

Now.. any ****ty band can get a pretty large following with a few demo tracks put on myspace. if two catchy demo tracks is all you need to get 1000 fans and a major label deal (which i have seen happen quite a bit over the past years) then why bother making any effort?
