Do you consider people who release a lot of music sellouts?

IDIOTS
changing styles isn't selling out

Changing it in order to make money as the chief reason IS.

I'm not sure if it's possible to be less of a sellout than Frank Zappa, so I'm going to go with E: "This was a nonsensical question to begin with".

well, in the OP he did mention jandek, who rejected all interviews, did all his recording himself, self-released every one of those recordings on his own imprint, and only recently started playing the occasional live show after over 30 years of genuinely reclusive music production.

and that's not to mention his incredibly difficult music!
jandek is one of the most obvious embodiments of anti-commercialism in recent music history.

EDIT: it looks like someone has the jandek on corwood dvd on youtube... here's part one if you're interested (you can find the other parts via the same YT user).
it's a good watch.

There is no problem with people who have a large amount of artistic output. Hell, they should be praised in comparison to those who spend all their time with their newly earned money partying instead of working.

Ah, but the thing with that is that some people put a lot of time into working on their music. Certain bands won't release music for years but when they do it's top notch and well though out.

Also, never post the bacon meme in HoR again. ****'s ******ed. GAH! EDIT: Stuff is dumb.

I beg to differ.

[Buffdog18]

No, but more importantly, bacon.

[Rocket2Russia]

I beg to differ.

bacon as an accessory in those situations is no meme, but a gift from the pig gods.

Bacon as a meme/cultural phenomenon helped lead to the development of that situation.
