I obviously haven't had time to see this yet before replying, but I must say that I think the list of those appearing is pretty hefty. Damn.

I will say that Eryka Badu doesn't know what she's talking about though with her "all of the sudden video killed the radio star"

She obviously wasn't living in the Jackson home; all glitz and showbiz abounding. Granted, it plays a part but seriously. I don't get my music from MTV, I get it from online sources now. Time to blame another form of media for lack of quality. Oh no, now it's video. What next... downloads... then next?

Damn.

Probably a long-shot reply but I see some patterns regarding the greed in business that also points out recent stockmarket/capitalism way of life bringing death by greed unto these two industries/branches.

it's up to individuals to find good music, not companies. as long as the internet remains open there won't be any problem.
