That's what people said when The Monkees' first single, "Last Train to Clarksville" was released in August 1966.

True,

But I would argue with the likes of Pop Idol, American Idol, X Factor (you name you reality TV show) they are producing more and more artists to fail.

They explode quickly but they are dead within a year or two as the next competition winner is pushed.

This is not always the case but I think those that survive are in a minority

I think so. Not every artist is "lost to the price of celebrity" but some defenetly are.

Dont ask me which ones ^^
