But it wasn`t an attitude

For most of those bands being on independent record labels wasn`t a choice. It was the only way they could get their music out regardless of whatever styles or trends were around at the time. The record companies had less power then (In Europe anyway). You COULD make your own records & get into the charts back then.

If there`s one thing I hate it`s the whole 'underground' lifestyle choice myth. It`s absolute bollocks.People in bands need to eat too.
