Maybe that's true of "pop" (whatever the heck that means) music, but I think it's a legitimate statement on musical quality. For example Springsteen just released an entire album of songs that he wrote back in the 70's but never published, even fellow songwriter Steven Van Zandt basically said he has no idea why they weren't released.

Brian Eno wrote talked an unreleased album of his, My Squelchy Life, in an interview: What happened was, I finished a record and as nearly always happens to me, in finishing the record I started to get a glimpse of the next step. There's always a cutting edge and a trailing edge to what you are doing. Well, when I finished that record, I knew what the cutting edge was. The record was due out in September 1991. And so I went straight back into the studio and had begun working on some new material, which followed what I felt was the cutting edge of this soon-to-be-released record. Then the company said, "Well, September is a terribly bad time to release; can you leave it to February?" And I said, "I don't mind leaving it to February, but I won't release this record then. I'H release what I've finished in February, which is likely to be quite a lot different." So that record just disappeared in the mist of time and I carried on working with the new material, and that's what became Nerve Net. http://music.hyperreal.org/artists/brian_eno/interviews/audio93a.html http://music.hyperreal.org/artists/brian_eno/interviews/audi...
