Cool Mainstream
Kid Modernist:
I've got to reiterate The Smashing Pumpkins.

You are a winner. And Jem makes a nice seque to my favorite "mainstream" band, well favorite band period, Dave Matthews Band. And of course David Gray.
But what do those three acts have in common? :)

Garcin:
*shudder* I really, really loathe Dave Matthews. Thought he was all that in college, and then . . . he went top 40s pop.
Ummm. . . Brian Wilson hasn't been mentioned yet. Smile rocked my socks. Then I had to go buy new socks -- and it rocked those too!
Merkava:
Oh come now. Before These Crowded Streets is epic, man. Epic.

Say what you will about the direction some of the later albums have taken (Everyday and to a lesser extent Stand Up were pretty pedestrian), but those first three albums contain some really great music. Plus they still can bring it live. Nothing gives me greater joy in life than seeing DMB doing "Two Step" live, especially as an encore. It is twenty minutes of pure awesome. mmmm, just thinking about it made me put on one from this summer(7-6-2005). :D
