What would the music industry look like under communism? Would everyone get an equal shot at a career?

music would be worse but film would be better

Kino

If only we had 100 years of communist history to look at.

famous or good?
pick one you commie fuckknuckle

what country might that be

For me its Yuri Shevchuk and DDT, Soviet Springsteen. May not be most original music but fuck does it have SOVL. Like old Bruce transported to the Ural mountains with crystal clear vodka in hand.

If you like Kino, try out

Kofe: They recorded music at the same home studio as kino and there even is a short recording of Tsoi trying to sing one of their songs.

Alexey Vishnya: The guy who produced all their (Kino) classic albums up until the very last two. His music is a bit on the 80s cheese side however behind these New Order-esque songs was a man mourning the death of his mother while attempting to find himself in the crumbling Soviet world.

Alisa: The main rivals of Kino. If Kino wanted to balance Post-Punk with Poppy melancholy, Alisa were all about the "bad boy" aesthetics and synthesizing Post-Punk with adolescent teeny bopper Hard Rock and ocasional elements of Folk to show-off the rough Slav aesthetic. Despite the rivalry, both bands highly respected each other. Alisa even made a tradition of closing their shows with Tsoi's Spokoynaya Noch to show their respect. Also their guitarist killed himself.

This. You basically have to make propaganda music to get big or completely tow the line. Music and art in general always has a hint of rebel in it which makes it a target for authoritarian states like communism

I am also from the U.S.

Not communism but in nazi germany, rules were enforced to jazz music (which made it not jazz, just boring, bland garbage).
Rules such as:

1. Pieces in foxtrot rhythm (so-called swing) are not to exceed 20% of the repertoire of light orchestras and dance bands.
2. In this so-called jazz type repertoire, preference is to be given to compositions in a major key and to lyrics expressing joy in life rather than Jewishly gloomy lyrics;
Musicians are creative types, so it's unlike they would have stuck by the rules. Communist regimes might have had similar enforcements, made worse by the information they fed the public and whathever little access they had to foreign media

Jazz was a mistake

Those went widely unenforced for a few reasons.

Largely Modernist Classical and Hard Rock Acts like Ted Nudgent (source:The Actual Soviet Union). I assume Metal would be widespread at this point since it sort of replaced Classical in some ways and also because Communism still sees a degree of popularity in Latin America which would lead communist groups in Europe to also view it more leniently (like how The Soviets still backed Cuba despite the obvious relationship with Catholicism).

They were wildly different but Western Media Lies will tell you they're literally the same.
