how about we all just like what we like haha who cares about anything else personally Sublime ownz me and so does Tool, Static X, Mastodon.. and Jay-Z and T.I. haha
See Rush is a good example. I love them, but I know a lot of people don't. Same difference with Indie. But in Rush's case, they at least play like a normal rock group, except Geddy Lee has an ex...
this comment kind of kills your whole argument. you can't argue both sides! a lot of indie bands have charted. Like that one song by the plain white t's "hey there delilah", I would say they w...
Ok, evolve away, but if the masses don't like it, then it's not good in the eyes of the public. It'll be underground forever.
strung out is a punk band and plays sold out stadium shows so that doesn't make sense. green day is a punk band and is considered mainstream, so is offspring, blink 182... all those guys have made a pretty good living playing the kind of music they like

I think this topic is straying way off topic. Is Strung Out considered a mainstream band? I'm sure some punk is mainstream, even if I think it sucks.
i'm just saying, who is the public? just because it's not what you would consider "mainstream" doesn't mean there aren't millions of people who like it. it's ok, stick to your bubblegum pop
The public is who buys there albums.
"their" is the correct term get it right!!! LOL

but thank you for voting one for the "blink 182 not sellouts" campaign...that was totally a hot topic like 6 years ago
U2 can sell out any stadium BUT the purpose of small arenas(last few tours) was they wanted it to be more intimate, more old school...like when they first started out playing the packed out arenas.
i meant a place like the tweeter center or something
