I`ve always found it funny it`s usually punk bands & fans who are usually the first to yell 'sell out' out at a band when the band that started off the whole movement admitted they were in it for the money right from the start.

certain labels though will give you an idea of what kind of music your getting. Im not talking about major labels though, but I will be more likely to pick up a band that ive never heard of because of the label they are associated with. Profane Existence wont put out a Yanni album if you get what Im sayin.

Oh yeah I get that , there are certain bands I would be more likely to check out because they are on a small label I trust.

But when it comes down to it you judge that band on what they sound like you don`t listen to it because they`re on that label.

Urban I'm getting you're talking about John Lydon here? And anyway I'm not to sure about the whole judging a band by the label thing... on one hand I think you should listen to the music, but on the other hand I compare it to cars-you want to buy a Ferrari and you can't test drive it of course, but you still buy it because it's a Ferrari. You don't know what it's like to drive, but you still drive it. I still have to go with my first option though. I would never buy a band because of the label, mostly because I don't pay much attention to labels anyway.

I`ve never cared about record labels

There`s maybe a couple I liked (Creation for example) but other than that , if it`s great it`s great if it`s sh*t it`s sh*t , whether it comes on on Sony , Domino or 13 amp.

i wont buy a cd just because its on a certain label..well, i will to listen to them, then if i like it i will buy more from them, if not, i dont. I wouldnt buy a band that i already know i dont like because of the label they are on, but ive picked up alot of music from bands ive never heard of because i trust that particular label to put out good music, doesnt mean that i have a commitment to that label only though..like you said, good music is good music regardless of what its on.
