Unfortunately for him I sold mine off long ago, and just in time so some dunce like him wouldn't have it.

As for mainstream songs, I wouldn't know, I stopped listening to the radio awhile back.

Depends on what you're looking for. Along the lines of rock and rap no.

To the people who said Radiohead and Muse: well done, you have good taste in music.

Anyway, why do you want only mainstream music?

edit: if they're mainstream, shouldn't you already know about them? Or couldn't you just turn on a radio and find some?

I really like almost all the songs on Foo Fighters' recent album. Stranger Things Have Happened is amazing.

^^^omg YES

Foo Fighters,Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The White Stripes

The new Foo Fighters album is possibly the best album of the new millenium (other then the White Stripes Elephant) and Stadium Arcadium by RHCP is amazing as well

Foo fighters have done the pretender since, like 01. I have listened to it even before ipods.

Other than that. NO. Nothing good has been out since the early 90's. I hate new music untill Jefferson Airplane Makes a new single

Muse is my fav band playing today, and they only get beat out by Nirvana in my mind.

The rest are bands I like but aren't THAT into anymore, but I do love hearing them on the radio.

Oh, and I do enjoy that Almost Easy is getting alot of airplay, as it is one of 2 songs of the crappy new Avenged cd that I actually REALLY like. When I hear it on the radio I crank it up to full volume and rock out, lol.

Edit: I forgot that there is an AWESOME Apocalyptica song getting played on the radio, I'm Not Jesus.

god, i hate almost easy! i never really liked A7X, but their last album is seriously ****the only good part of it is like the beginning of that coctail song.

i guess good mainstream music would be kanye west, timbaland etc.. they are like the only hip hop musicians i actually like!

oh, and Papa Roach have been making pretty mainstream music lately. Probably my second favourite band after Korn and Children of Bodom. Definitely worth checking out! love em.

what? i think 50 cent is the worst artist of the 2000's!! His lyrics are so bad.. i cant even listen to his music, it just makes me feel stupid and it seems so pointless listening to some guy singing about girls, cars, money and drugs.. If you want good beats, you've always got Timbaland too.. For lyrics.. Kanye west. 50 is so secondary its not even funny.

The album is great.While most of the songs are soft,they're still really good. Also,I thought of the Foo when I saw this thread.

Why is everything seperated into "Mainstream" and "Not mainstream?"

I just like decent music.:|

The only thing I hear on the radio is nickelback, fergie, and American Idol robots; so no.

Great artists hardly get the recognition they deserve; they're not easily martketable and the masses "won't get it."

Here's some awesome alt./pop bands:

Stars

The National

Muse

Deerhoof -- toured with Radiohead

Arcade Fire

The Decemberists

Apples In Stereo

Band of Horses

Mates of State

Tegan & Sara

Muse

Neko Case

Neutral Milk Hotel -- Aeroplane Over the Sea should be in every record collection.

Belle and Sebastian

Minus the Bear

He is one of the best artist of today. He raps about more then that, well in his older rap he did more. Timbaland isn't good, all of his songs are with justin timberlake and nelly furtado, that is the worst. Kanye west is even more worse, he is a cry baby and would run away from 50 cent if he ever wanted to fight him, his lyrics are also horrible.

ffs. kanyes lyrics are horrible? and that comes from someone who likes 50 cent? oh god. He sings about real stuff, and life. amazing artist.

So what if Timbaland makes music with justin and nelly? I don't care for nelly, but timberlake is one talented man!!

And I know 50 used to rap about real stuff.. I remember the song "many men" or whatever.. love the bit where he says "i dont cry no more, dont look to the sky no more..". he actually made descent music back then. well, some of it.
