ya it really dose, take dave mathews for example i think his studio stuff is alright, but the thing for him is doing live shows, but little bands just starting out do shows to sell Cd's. it all depends because there are some artist who don't even do concerts and just have music videos and those are there way to get there music heard.

Radio play, and music videos to me are just Commercials for the Cd's. But calling them a commercial isn't disrespecting them. Some commercials have been amazing and have been with us from the past Budweiser to name one company that has made some that have stuck, yet get annoying after time i know.

Music videos are just that i see some of them as works of art, yet most are utter crap, just like prime time commercials. there are a few exceptions such as super-bowl sunday commercials where about 70% are great.

just my 5 cents on the situation
