music groups who ruined playbacks on purpose, they prefer live

  Forcing a real band to play backing vocals is like forcing a kid to eat spinach: he doesn't like it.  And, in the same way, that a kid in front of his plate of spinach will do anything to annoy you, the music groups that are forced to play lip service sometimes pay the heads of TV shows, record companies, and producers who got them in this situation.  The result is often great.
