Cool Mainstream

<< < (7/35) > >>

TheCourtJester:
-Gorillaz
-System of a Down
-APC/Tool*
-Bad Religion*
-Pennywise*
-Cake has some pretty decent chillin music
-I'm sure I'm gonna catch crap for this...but I've thought Evanescence was alright at times. Catch is, I think Amy has a great voice and the band does some neat stuff...but them together = not so good. Someone say they at least understand what I mean...
-Flogging Molly
-Green Day
-The Shins*
-Jack Johnson (only certain songs though...more chillin music)
-Josh Groban
-Less Than Jake*
-Lit
-Motion City Soundtrack*
-The Police/Sting (FUCKINAWESOMEOK?)
-RHCP (sure maybe they don't get high as much, but they're sound is so much...well...better)
-Seal
-Simon and Garfunkel/Paul Simon
-Social Distortion*
-Sublime
-Sum 41 (only the "chuck" album...give it a try...it's a completely different band from the previous albums...especially "No Reason," "We're All to Blame" and "88")
- Another one I may catch crap for...I firmly believe 98 degrees was a highly talented group. It was still boy band pop...but I had actually head them live...it took ages to drag me to it but I was disturbed and surprised...they were actually singing and doing it extremely well. Listen to their recording of "Ave Maria" ... that shit is HARD to sing but it's one of my favorite versions of that song to date.

* means I'm not really sure if it's mainstream or not...I just listen to what appeals to my ears (hard concept to grasp for some). I'm generally not "in touch" with what's popular or not.

IronOxide:
Alright people, I'm not listing the classics because they're listened to by EVERYONE.

Jet
Reel Big Fish (I think they count.)
Weezer

Merkava:
TheCourtJester has the best list and avatar so far. XP

So I don't have to feel guilty for liking Motion City Soundtrack? :D

Everest:
I hate the whole mainstream/not mainstream idea, I must say. There's hardly any telling if there's any line, if there's any line to begin with. Everything's music, there's good and there's bad, and that's all I need. In fact, I'm way more uncomfortable with bands desperately trying not to be mainstream, than bands that don't care either way, and just make music.

IronOxide:
Some people just find a very accessibe sound and message, and some people get listened to in the mainstream because they used to front No Doubt. *shudder*
