It isn't so much Youtube trying to control the music industry, as it is greedy record labels
afraid people will be able to hear music for free, gasp!
Latrobe, if you have an iTunes account, search for Hole in the Sky by Delmag. Americans
can still make music, it's just garbage that's become the mainstream. There are tons and
tons of hidden gems in American music, the tricky part is finding those gems sadly enough.
Yes, I've been able to find a few good American bands. It's extremely hard to find them, but luckily not all of America has been brainwashed yet. I won't ever make an iTunes account, or use any Apple products though, I just don't like their stuff. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I find iTunes has too many unnecessary things that could be far more simplified. Again, it may all just be personal preference, but I'm just not an Apple fan.
