Cool Mainstream

<< < (21/35) > >>

Spirit Stereo:
Gorillaz, Kanye, Beck, Common, MM, FF.

Luke:
You know, I actually dug out College Dropout and started listening to it in my car this morning because of this thread.

TheLoweringTide:
To clarify, I am defining "mainstream" as "I have heard it on the radio ever."  To be fair, I don't actually listen to the radio, so anything that's filtered through to my list is pretty damn mainstream.

See:
Tool
The White Stripes
AFI
Smashing Pumpkins
Outkast
New Order
The Beatles
Placebo
David Bowie
Gorillaz

TrueNeutral:
Iron Maiden
Manowar
Modest Mouse
Rammstein
Midtown
Tool
Guns and Roses
Oasis
Pantera
Eels
Red Hot Chillipeppers
Led Zeppelin


And assorted nu-metal bands. Nothing that has rap in it, though. Mostly Disturbed's last two offerings, KoRn's non-rap stuff and some Godsmack(which is more like Grunge anyway). And really, that is totally not mainstream where I live. I have met, in total, TWO people who have ever heard OF Disturbed, only one who HEARD them.

EDIT: Missed Gorillaz

Also, to hose railing on bands because they think some dude is a dick or because that singer said something about their image of some other band: Why do you give a flying fuck? It's about the fucking music. If I like a song, I'm gonna listen to it, I don't care who made it.

Luke:
Disturbed was super-mainstream for a little while when their single "Down with the Sickness" was released. Almost everyone I know was trying to imitate the "euoo-wah-ah-ah-ah" sound that the singer makes. And, granted, I'll admit I was doing it too, but I think I was doing a heck of a better job than other people. Seriously, if you're gonna mock someone, do it right.

Um... yeah.
