Best Mainstream Bands Today

There was another one too, Ocean Air Breathes Salty I think. I'm pretty sure Dashboard did well, if not it gets alot of play on the local alternative rock station.
 
DepenRAB on how you define mainstream.

I hate most of todays mainstream radio stuff. But I hate emo and indie a tad more.

I'd endure Nickelback over Broken Social Scene, probably.
 
If you don't like them then don't give them another try. They aren't THAT amazing that you should force yourself to listen to them.
 
Discrediting rap music for sampling would be like discrediting rock music for using bass.
Sure, not everyone does it, but it is a staple of the genre.
 
Yep, ripping off an entire song and adding bad lyrics. Amazing. His earlier work is really good though. Don't know how his new album will be though.
 
its almost not worth arguing with you, because you are a 5th grader who knows next to nothing about music, but I enjoy the entertainment that arguing with you brings. so

his 'earlier work'? he released his first album like, 3 years ago, what do you mean earlier work? this IS his earlier work. next, i'm not really sure what song you're talking about in the above post. did he rip off an entire ray charles song and add bad lyrics to it? first of all, he didn't 'rip off' and 'entire song', he 'sampled' the 'refrain' of ray charles' song. Maybe you were unaware, but hip hop music is founded on sampling. Public Enemy sampled James brown on ITANOMTHUB, NWA sampled funkadelic and kool and the gang. its ridiculous that i am having to explain what sampling is to an 10 year old kid, but c'mon.
 
Both of these albums became tiresome very quickly, especially THE FRATELLIS. The KASABIAN album has a couple of good tracks, STUNTMAN is awesome,but it has faded off my radar very quickly.
 
hmmm i would have to say the thing i find most appealing about them is the pseudo comical relatively deep and fully developed lyrics. they have a very powerful sound, and don't sound so much like other people as they do themselves. it is hard to always pick up on and like a band, it can depend on your mood that day and what music you feel like listening to. i usually give most albums i d/l at least 2 listens through before labeling them as trash.

remeraber, to make great music you don't always have to be incredibly technically talented... the beatles and nirvana come to mind.
 
i agree with fratellis and kasabian. also arctic monkeys,dirty pretty things have become a bit mainstream along with the strokes and the enemy :)
 
all you do is regurgitate what other people say throughout other parts of the forum, and compile them together.
your posts are kind of like sampling, except they aren't good or interesting or informative or anything in any way.
