For sure. But name me the superstar groups or people that achieved that level of fame (I don't mean selling out theaters I mean 10,000 seat or bigger places) that hasn't been on a major label.
It may have happened in the 60's or maybe even the 70's, but once a few major companies took control of all of the major radio stations artists needed them in order to get the mass appeal and the only real way to get access to them is through the major labels.
A person can have a hit song without a major label, but there is a big difference between having one hit song and being a superstar.
