Mick Hucknall Rages At Music Industry

Mick Hucknall has launched an attack on the music industry and more specifically, reality music shows like Pop Idol.

The ginger Manc believes that the music industry no longer allows bands to develop and no longer encourage artists to write songs.

Speaking to Manchesteronline he said: "The nurturing spirit that was inherent in the music industry when I first joined has gone,"

"Look at the biggest band in the world, U2. They had time to develop their sound, but these days Bono and the boys wouldn't get past their second album."

"The idea of letting a band develop is no longer economically viable in the eyes of the industry. They sell it like soap powder on the TV - and you're going to pay the price for that culturally in the long run.

"I find what's called culture now is derivative of the 1960s and 1980s and, as a music lover, I want more than that. It's not all doom and gloom but I think everything is a bit of a cliché."

Of reality TV music shows he said: "They don't encourage the writing enough - certain people get percentages from certain people who write those songs. I think more investigation could unearth these things that are unfair and doing young artists no good." gigwise

I'll let you into a little secret. I don't really love him, but at the same time I can probably think of one thousand people who are more annoying than him ;)
