Why did Brian Eno sellout and start producing for generic corporate pop artists like Coldplay and U2?
I mean Coldplay at least were good at one point early in their career but had definitely sold out by that time (though they weren't quite as terrible as they are now). U2 is just irredeemable though.

James Chance, DNA, Mars, Slowdive, Cluster, John Cale are worth cheking out. also that poster forgot Jon Hassell (witch is incredible).
Coldplay's best album was produced by him.
And he can pretty much do whatever the fuck he wants since he's just so well known.
I'd say producing for those bands made it so that he became even more well known

>Eno was described by some friends and colleagues as racist. His close friend Danny Fields, the American journalist who helped him sign to Elektra Records, described him as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Eno, I'm Jewish,' and he was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' He had a definite Nordic Aryan streak, [the belief] that he was physically, spiritually and creatively superior." According to Fields, Brian Eno once attacked a mixed-race woman in a restaurant with a smashed wineglass, saying "I hate black people". During a performance in Berlin, the audience rioted after Eno performed the German national anthem "Deutschlandied", including a verse omitted since 1945 for its nationalist associations.
