One thing that Jack Rabid has commented on a few times in The Big Takeover

disposable music when they yield so little catalog sales from the crap
they've foisted on the public.
I'd be curious what the actual sales figures are for hair metal acts -- I'd
imagine their OK, but not the type of stuff you'd want to count on...
