In early 2005 I put up recordings at Broadjam.
What I can say is that my more formative recordings from when I was mostly copping riffs from classic rock and post punk acts to make originals (all by tape) fared better then my newer digital recordings that came from my head and soul.

I have not tried TAXI, but notice that one's individual track record and slogging it out means little to publishers.
Broadjam to my knowledge does not charge fees for posting or for someone working their way up the ranks in it.
Not to diminish TAXI, but to get very far, it will often take money and connections.
Some say talent and not entirely money.
But if you look at the mainstream and what qualifies as talent to publishers and such organizations, that is subject to opinion.
Much is luck for who you find for that matter.

The way I look at it is if I were out to market myself it would be those small percentage of professionals that might see something in my songs.

My newer recordings would probably fare better.

Not that I go out of my way to be different, but trying to make a totally original (may be considered obtuse) idea listenable is much harder than copping a famous artist.
My recordings could be inspired by anything.
And I do not always know what.

There are more ways to get a professional opinion.
Not everyone judges talent by what sounds like a hit single.
So I guess it is how you look at it.
The clout for Broadjam definitely might not be there.

But for those that try their ass off with their own set of artistic plans there could be more to eek out.

I think I may submit songs again to Broadjam for a more clear idea.

There have been people that have had their own take with music, or not professional that have not liked my songs either.
I am here to be more classicist and to learn more about home recordings.
If I were out to have a better chance to market I would have stuck with just post punk.
I would just be interested in what Broadjam is like now.

I grew up musically before the alternative rock scene became in vogue and remember what the pre-alt scene (hair metal, classic rock)said to these alt rockers that played around all original songs, and much worse than what I have even heard with my stuff.
People have been real kind to me in comparison.
But look who made it?

What Broadjam did almost seems like an extension of that.
The major labels would not even look at the alternative acts until they sold through indie labels.
