The media tells these people what music to listen to, society tells these people what to listen to, it's the only thing they are exposed to. I don't listen to music to appear as something, to fit an image or to conform (not even to conform with the anti-conformists), the media doesn't tell me what to listen to.


Now lets have a look at your top 10 favourite bands and see what you are doing to further the cause of independent music away from these big bad evil corporations...

1. Oomph! - As it's been stated EMI & Sony
2. Metallica - Sony
3. Godsmack - UMG
4. Static- X - Warners
5. Rammstein - UMG
6. Strapping Young Lad - Century (Virgin / EMI)
7. Rob Zombie/White Zombie - Geffen
8. Coal Chamber - Warners
9. Die Krupps - Warners
10.Pantera - Warners


Yeah , way to stick it to the man.
