Has to go to the guy that rejected The Beatles when they auditioned for Decca Records. He told them, "Guitar bands are going to be out in a few years."

    That's a good one...but if I was the guy that rejected The Beatles, I would've kicked myself and would go in hiding for the rest of my life.

    How about signing of the Beatles and discovering that susceptible teenage girls are forever going to be the industry's number one target market?

    or is that more tragedy than mistake?

    U2 carrying on after 'Pop'.

    St. Anger.

    I think the single, biggest mistake is allowing commercial radio stations to get a strangehold and control what the vast majority of the public listen to i.e. ten-a-penny r and b, pop tat and one hit wonders. New bands and even established ones, such as Pearl Jam, don't even get a look in.
