That small punk bands are a sensible target for data hoarding isn't surprising, but you know one I found out that's surprising?
Riverdance. Yeah, the Eurovision pause show from 1994 which became a huge hit and started a decade-long fad of various rhytmic dance ensembles touring the world and actually doing really well. Fantastic commercial success, of course. They did many CD releases, and there are a lot of differences between the recordings: the cast of performers, whether they have stepping noises mixed in, even the track listing. But you can only get the last of them on streaming services.

Yup, all of the niche genres that have (relatively) smaller listener counts don't make enough from the streams to make paying for older releases worth it. Sucks.
