Even when the industry wasn't 100% controlled by monopolies most of the best of the best remained in somewhat obscurity. In fact, thanks to the Internet, we can actually appreciate those obscurities in retrospect more than the listeners of their time ever could. After all, if it's truly ahead of it's time, it's bound to fail on it's initial release.

I'm not talking about past releases.Besides, even the most obscure releases whether they be on majors or independents had some promotion or column inches on release.
I'm talking about if thousands of bands release their music onto the internet.
None of it will have any promotion, there will be precious little to filter out the good from the bad and it'll just get lost in one great big dumping ground of freely available music.
