Integrity is important to an artist. Anyone can make noise but not everyone can make something beautiful.

Here is a good example of the rawest of emotions put to music, taking feelings that are hard to deal with and finding beauty there.

This song kills it, but of course, this band has murdered it since day one.

We all have our own idea's of what artistic integrity means. Your idea is no more important than anyone elses on the board. If we were putting up NSynch and Brittney Spears, I could see possibly having an "integrity" superiority complex, but from the stuff your puttin' up, it just ain't there.

Well, not so much during an episode per se, but in general I love the song "Wig in a Box" song from Hedwig and the Angry INch.
He sings about having a shitty day in a shitty life and then putting on his wig and makeup and rocking out in drag & rocking with life and it's totally inspiring.
Good antidepressant.
