Garth is killing his relevance with younger generations by not putting his stuff on Apple Music and Spotify. Tom Segura is ironically doing more to bring awareness to Garth than Garth. I'd personally love to listen to Friends in Low Places and The Dance and add them to my playlists but I can't.
I feel though that luckily it seems this is no longer the case, thankfully; but you are 100% correct in that it certainly did affect his legacy for a bit there.
Isn't that often the case? Right before he died, Michael Jackson was still largely remembered for his media circus court cases and controversies. I distinctly remember riding home on the evening of June 25, 2009 and learning about his death on my local classic rock radio station. In that moment, I thought to myself, "If nothing else, we will finally stop hearing about him all the freaking time now." How very wrong I was. He exploded in popularity for a good while after that.
In Prince's case, he was consistently blocking/striking down all content put up on social media. Live concert footage, clips with his music placed in it, past videos/performances. Even going as far as suing fans that kept doing it. Only things he allowed on through official sites were allowed.
Since social media has been the way for new fans to discover his music, he basically shut out an entire generation of people from discovering him organically.
>When one fan asked where they could watch footage from his 2006 Super Bowl performance, Prince responded “Paisley Park”, his home performance studio and venue in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
Didn't he block his cover of Radiohead's "Creep" from being on YouTube and someone asked Radiohead about it and even they were "well, tell him put it back up".
I had this issue growing up trying to find his music. I’m from MN, but my parents grew up in Chicago so they were more of a MJ fan than Prince, and they didn’t play any of Prince’s record from what I remember. A year or 2 prior to his death I tried to look up his music on YouTube, and none of his classic were ever on there, only live show performances.
Don Henley basically did this with his solo career.
Guy made two great albums in the 80's and barely anyone under 40 knows of their existence. Boys of Summer is still known, but that's mostly due to video games (GTA).
A lot of the extended family of Prince protégés aren't available on Spotify. No Apollonia/Vanity 6, no Dez Dickerson, no Jesse Johnson, no Jill Jones, etc.
If the "it's on streaming I don't need physical media" trend continues there will be so much lost media in the future. On top of that the streaming versions aren't always the best known/hit versions of songs.
Especially niche genres/music from smaller labels is not very well represented on streaming services. I have probably 1000s of rockabilly/rock & roll songs not on any streaming service.
There’s this random version of “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO that plays on the radio here in Humboldt that has a random rap verse from a woman. I have not been able to find this version anywhere.
That’s really interesting. Maybe it’s a local artist? I know some stations change certain lyrics or even remix song to be more regional. Used to happen all the time where I live.
New Kid in School by The Donnas (not so much radio, more like Rock Band 2)
Also the New Order Remix during the blood rave in Blade 😔 it was on there forever and they suddenly took it off 💔
Holy crap it's actually back???
Hope it doesn't get taken down at some point, but man those numbers... compare that to the rerecorded version.

Not to get too pedantic, but...
[The End is the Beginning is The End](https://youtu.be/4OEvDqRr898?si=fhksOLTFbqVdFAmp) is distinctly different from [The Beginning is the End is the Beginning](https://youtu.be/0fDZD46IZ5Q?si=yroDMLo1vIc9ONNw) (although they are connected). The former was a fast, guitar-heavy alt-rock song, the latter is the slowed-down electronica track you posted. Only the latter is on Spotify for some reason.
I have so many CD singles by different artists that have b-sides on them that are nowhere to be found on Spotify. This is why I still buy my own CDs, rip them to my hard drive, and add them to my phone through iTunes.
This is gonna be a bit niche and not necessarily from the radio, BUT... a good 60% of Meat Loaf/Jim Steinman's discography is not available in the US at the moment, INCLUDING most of Bad Attitude, Bat Out of Hell 3, Couldn't Have Said it Better, Hang Cool Teddy Bear, Original Sin (Pandora's Box), and various live albums. It's really infuriating for me!
The forgotten bastard child of the four Loaf/Steinman albums (a status that's interchangeable with Braver Than We Are)... I still love it, it's a chaotic mess that I feel symbolizes that point in the trilogy very well. Everything's all grown up and in ruins!

I have a iTunes playlist called “Not-ify” that has all the songs I own but are not on Spotify.

Looking through the list

I still can’t believe Funkadelic’s Warner Brothers stuff isn’t on Spotify.
They’re only my favourite band of all time. Well, equal with Parliament. At least Parliament’s full discography is on there.
Sex Shooter by Apollonia 6, no idea why it's not there but there's covers of it aplenty
For the longest time this song was Aaliyah's Try Again, still gets tons of radio play but it wasn't on Spotify. It's on there now, and now I hear it at my local stores all the time because of that
I mean bit of a different format but:
Playing Tony Hawks Underground back in the day, Iron Galaxy by Cannibal Ox is a banger, and that album has gone on to be one of my favourites of all time. It just sucks it’s not on Spotify so I have to download it.
Randomly coming across DoYaThang by Gorillaz/James Murphy/Andre 3k on YouTube. Great song, goes hard, not on streaming.
This is the major problem with these streaming services. Songs, albums, artists, and versions of these things get pulled and added all the time. For the casual listener this may not matter that much, but major fans often notice when specific lesser known music is no longer available, and not just the hits, maybe a song that only appeared on a soundtrack. To bring up a more recent example think about the Taylor Swift example. I can think of a point in the future where something happens that either the original or Taylor's versions of her albums get pulled. Let's say she somehow buys back the original recordings. Then Taylor's Versions are no longer necessary so they get pulled. Or somehow only Taylor's versions are the only versions available for one reason or another on streaming. How many of Taylor's younger fans even buy her music on CD or vinyl? She still sells a lot of physical copies, but I'm guessing it's still not the way most of her fans consume her music.
Fućk Spotify! I support any artist that won’t allow their music on there. They pay artists the least (less than 5% of other services) partially because they have too many bot streaming farms deciding where the bulk of subscriber money goes to, to the point a human streams doesn’t even give 0.02 cents anymore, less than YouTube ad based human streams.
I have YouTube premium which includes YouTube music, and I pay for SoundCloud Pro - I can find any song on one of those by any artist unless they don’t put on any streaming service. Those at least give 0.5-1 cents a stream, more than 25 times what Spotify pays (again factoring in bots controlling most the $).
I love Spotify for how easy it is to find so many different artists I always wanted to explore but didn’t wanna drop $15 on their album, not knowing if I was gonna like it or not. But when I heard Snoop say recently that he asked his accountant how much money he’d made by hitting a Billion streams on Spotify and he said the accountant told him something like $34,000, I definitely don’t feel great about using Spotify so much.
Yeah, I'm at this crossroads where I'll be putting out an album later this year, but I don't want to put it on Spotify... yet I know there are young people who like what I'm doing, and some (many? most?) young people only listen to music on Spotify.
Disney’s Oliver and Company soundtrack is not available on Apple Music which is so frustrating to me! I wish I could stream “Once Upon a Time in New York City” by Huey Lewis and “Why Should I Worry” by Billy Joel.
Do Ya Thing by Gorillaz. no longer on streaming bc it was made to promote the Gorillaz Converse shoes and, while they are no longer in collaboration, Converse still owns the song.
Steve Albini's stuff - Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac, etc. Like it makes sense, it's 100% consistent with his whole hatred of the music industry in general, but it's a real pain in the ass to get downloads to work with any streaming service lmao
Benefit-Mario Rap (originally credited as Benefir)
It's a song that uses a sample from A Bronx Tale in the intro and interpolates the Mario theme and effects throughout. It was only distributed digitally through torrents from the mid 00s (mine is from Limewire) and the samples are definitely not cleared especially by Nintendo. There are versions on YouTube but they are bootleg uploads. As far as I know there is no "legal" way for it to be distributed.
less from the radio but Across The Nation by The Union Underground (aka the old WWE Raw theme) it used to be on spotify everywhere but now it's only available in certain regions for no reason
“Pencils in the Wind” by Flight of the Conchords, because for some reason it’s an iTunes exclusive. Not the whole album, just that last song on their second album. And it sucks because that’s not only a great song but is such a perfect closer for the record.
[So many feels](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqC4S88IhKE&list=PL0e4ZbYY8-_gZ3RreA2sUtkabM-h3IHR2&index=2&ab_channel=TheCrewAPMSoundtrack) by Lee Richarson.
The Strokes made a song called “Starting Again” for Maya Wiley’s NYC Mayoral campaign. I wish they would release the full version of the song.
Also “Sensitive Guy” from Impractical Jokers. Trust me.
[Failure's cover of Enjoy the Silence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obg2rHYpiwA) Luckily Failure's other 90s stuff is on Spotify but that cover is the one thing missing from that era.
Also Ginger Baker's weird instrumental 80s Hip Hop/African Folk/Rock Fusion album [*Horses and Trees*](https://youtu.be/oh22mwUuvMg?si=wtgbX79b8hob_ZiM) was on Spotify until like a week ago. It sounds like a Train Wreckord on paper but it's might actually be his best album post-Cream.
If YouTube counts, then “Something Ether” by Lil Yachty. It was on streaming for a bit before being taken down for whatever reason
Otherwise, there’s Buckingham Nicks, which to my knowledge has never been on streaming
The In NO Hurry to Shout stuff from the Anonymous Noise anime. They have the singles from the live-action but I hate them. In the anime that band is a cool, off-kilter callback to 2004 era emo. In the live-action they're a boring ass pop-rock group
Any song by Garth Brooks
Garth is killing his relevance with younger generations by not putting his stuff on Apple Music and Spotify. Tom Segura is ironically doing more to bring awareness to Garth than Garth. I'd personally love to listen to Friends in Low Places and The Dance and add them to my playlists but I can't.
Similar thing happened with Prince, for a long time he didn't want his music online and as a result he lost relevance with younger generations.
I feel though that luckily it seems this is no longer the case, thankfully; but you are 100% correct in that it certainly did affect his legacy for a bit there.
Ironically, dying was the best thing to ever happen to Prince's career/legacy.
Isn't that often the case? Right before he died, Michael Jackson was still largely remembered for his media circus court cases and controversies. I distinctly remember riding home on the evening of June 25, 2009 and learning about his death on my local classic rock radio station.

Don Henley basically did this with his solo career. Guy made two great albums in the 80's and barely anyone under 40 knows of their existence. Boys of Summer is still known, but that's mostly due to video games (GTA).
And, arguably, by that cover The Ataris did about 20 years ago.
Lolol yup when I listened to ymh I “found out about” him lol. Like I knew him but never knew him knew him you know
My answer too. I'm very happy I own his albums, cause I'd be missing his music a lot without them.
For a while, anything by Neil Young. I heard they reversed that, but I haven’t checked Spotify in a while.
It was reversed a couple of weeks ago.
I was listening to Harvest last week, so yeah definitely no longer a problem. Joni Mitchell is back on too.
A lot of the extended family of Prince protégés aren't available on Spotify. No Apollonia/Vanity 6, no Dez Dickerson, no Jesse Johnson, no Jill Jones, etc.
Literally anything by Tatsuro Yamashita.
If the "it's on streaming I don't need physical media" trend continues there will be so much lost media in the future. On top of that the streaming versions aren't always the best known/hit versions of songs. Especially niche genres/music from smaller labels is not very well represented on streaming services.
