For no one would buy a song from a band they are unfamiliar with in most cases they hardly take them for free. Yea new bands having to promote their songs by handing them out free is a must.

They are songs for the people not for my cash book. But look at the bands on your list, they are all established successful acts, They can afford to gamble on free as they are all ready millionaires or have the attention of the masses...for a startup band it is a lot tougher.
