Norma J · 07.08.2006, 06:57 PM

I like lots.

Danny Himself · 07.08.2006, 07:02 PM

The Strokes.

Norma J · 07.08.2006, 07:20 PM

I just made a thread about a band whom are mainstream but never degrade themselves artistically. I enjoy them.

Inhuman · 07.08.2006, 07:47 PM

Too many to name; I'll do my best:

Neil Young
Smashing Pumpkins
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Black Sabbath
Dinosaur Jr.
Sonic Youth
Converge
Jack Johnson
The Postal Service
Death Cab (to some degree)
Elliott Smith
Gorillaz
Blur

And for rap:
N.W.A
Dr.Dre (obviously)
Snoop Doggy Dog
The D.O.C
Easy-E
Ice Cube
Wu-Tang
Ludacris
N.A.S
Lil Jon

and more, they're just slipping my mind

Sonic Youth 37 · 07.08.2006, 07:57 PM

Interpol
YYYs
Radiohead
Smashing Pumpkins
Rage Against the Machine

You probably heard that from me. They are awesome.

Inhuman · 07.08.2006, 08:17 PM

Oh yeah, that's right. You posted a thread about them a while back. I'll give them a listen sometime soon.

CHOUT · 07.08.2006, 08:18 PM

They have tons of great singles. Their best of is a good introduction in my opinion. Avoid Don't Stand So Close To Me '86 though - the worst remake a band has ever done to their own song ever.

Norma J · 07.08.2006, 09:34 PM

You'll hear something by the Police (great band) and you'll go: "Ahh, so that was the Police. Cool."

Anyone heard the Incubus (another awesome mainstream band for this thread) cover of of the Police song... I can't remember the name... 'Doo doo doo da da da daaa".. help me out here? Anyway, it's on the "Alive at Redrocks" dvd, and it's very cool.

HaydenAsche · 07.08.2006, 10:02 PM

I suppose these may be considered mainstream as well:

Converge
Antony and the Johnsons
Danger Doom
Wu-Tang Clan

swimsuitissue · 07.08.2006, 10:10 PM

The White Stripes
Radiohead
The Strokes
Nine Inch Nails
TOOL

Uhh ..what they said.
+ Le Tigre
Madonna's old stuff I liked, but not so much the new.
The Mars Volta
Pixies
SLEATER-KINNEY even though they're breaking up >:O

I guess those are the only ones I can think of that haven't been named.

RdTv · 07.09.2006, 06:44 AM

Outkast
Sublime
Beck
White Stripes
Wu Tang (and all the members solo efforts)
Sonic Youth (?on the mainstreamity of their music)
Flaming Lips

LittlePuppetBoy · 07.09.2006, 08:33 AM

I wouldn't reallly consider Converge or Postal Service as mainstream bands

against_the_grain · 07.09.2006, 09:45 AM

Los Lobos
Government Mule (but not most 'jam' bands, I don't like the twirling...)
Pat Metheny (jazz)
Peter Gabriel
King Crimson
Steely Dan

shit a ton of other 'obvious' ones...but I tried to pick some that are still viable and performing.
