If they think it's good product and it's something they will use, I don't think they are sellouts.

The Rolling Stones were always playing for major corporations. I think the purpose of most bands is getting paid to do what they love to do. I think sell outs are those that change their message or style for a buck. For instance a rock band going R&B just because R&B artists were making more money that year.

I hate it when a good song becomes a jingle. But that is the property of the artist and I think they have the right to use it as they wish. I do think it lowers the value of all good music. Who knows if the next great love song will be used to sell laxative?

Not necessarily...
A lot of Beatles songs are used in commercials but the (remaining) members of the band have no control over that - Michael Jackson & Sony Corp own the rights to their catalog.

Absolutely, Yes!!! I can't stand it when artists ruin the memory of their songs by allowing them to be used in television commercials.

i think they are sellouts because they are part of the big corporate world now, where money is more important than anythin else

No. It helps promote their music and the product,or show.
