Oh wow I totally missed these reponses! okay:
It's true that as far as Jesus and Mary chain goes, I simply enjoy their earlier stuff more. But what I'm trying to say is that it's no coincidence that bands that started on small labels and moved to bigger ones have underwent very similar stylistic changes. I'm not one to support indie music just because the fact that it's indie gives me a huge boner, but Mary Chain, Pixies, and even Sonic Youth all had, in my opinion, worse albums after signing to a major label. Nirvana too could have been way better if their label had allowed them to pursue the dry, lo-fi feel that Cobain wanted after Nevermind. So all of this amounts to a general principle I have that indie bands do best when they stay indie.
