I believe Germany is the biggest country they have influence in, lesser countries don't really mean as much (regarding thier marketability)

As for Germany not having a corporate chart system lets view one of their top songs from 2007.

YouTube - Stefanie Heinzmann - My Man Is A Mean Man - Videoclip

Doesn't sound much different from the stuff we have playing over here does it?
Thier market is no where near as corporate and commercial and large as ours is. EVEN in Germany they aren't 'huge', they're a band that is pretty popular amung the metal/hard rock types. It doesn't mean they are a corporate band or that they comprimise thier music for money...

Oh no, Crass mechandise!!!

Crass t-shirts and hoodies|Crass merchandise at Rerock4ever
Crass Merchandise
RerockGear - Crass t-shirts & merchandise. Rock Concert t-shirts, hoodies, skirts, dresses

Yep, they are corporate sell outs....


Look at this, they are clearly selling out to the teen angst, anarchist crowd, so generic


Tatoo?!?!


Well, since merchandise clearly indicates corporate sell out, Crass is out and we still have no answer to 'Is there a band that isn't a corporate sell out and makes talented music?'.
