I agree.
The mere fact that SR knew what they were signing doesn't mean they weren't ripped off. If you are an up and coming band you are more likely to sign your life away then if you are an established band with a choice of record labels.
Aerosmith was ripped off - even though they knew what they were signing and the contract reflected terms commonly used at the time. It still doesn't make it right.
Bach did have a great voice, but they really were never too well respected in their days. They were a hair band that rode on the glam metal train - like so many others. '18 and life' is a great song as are maybe a couple more and that is it.
