Television Singing Talent Shows

Manufactured Artists-
Sex Pistols
Ronettes
Pretty much any artist from the Tamla Motown label
Procol Harem
The Travelling Wilburys
Velvet Revolver (sort of)
Spinal Tap (Obviously)
The Jimmi Hendrix Experience

 

The Beatles manufactured - get real :
Paul met John playing at a fair in the late 50's then got his mate George to join - they played there own instruments and wrote there own songs ,how is that manufactured?

 

As for the original post I cant stand people singing somebodys elses song not playing any instruments ,there just a pub performer not an artist ,doubt John Lennon or Mick jagger would have got through the X factor auditions.

 

When they actually found fame some 5 years after the group had formed and after playing in Germany and the Cavern for years they obviously wanted to appeal to the widest audience but they werent manufactured as they wrote all there songs still and wernt put together by a producer from auditions.
Who cares about Ringo?

 

its amazing how much of the music industry is 'manufactured' or at least styled and marketed to sell units ...

it is what it is .... an industry which wants to sell and make profits.

 

Shows what I know, I thought they were.
