Do you listen to "mainstream" radio music?

Jared Leto is handsome too, so it's all good.

Define Mainstream. Because in my book Nickelback and 30STM totally are.

I guess I listen to some... I like Radiohead and Tool for example and they each have a huge fan base and regularly headline the big festivals.

Although I NEVER listen to radio and would guess that most of the bands I really like aren't widely popular or known. And since I don't watch MTv or any of that shit either, I don't really have any idea what's up in the charts now..

.. I usually define the mainstream factor by the position in a line up, the prices of concert tickets and the fanbase.

Wow, are Ratatat mainstream?
I saw them once, but it was a very small location with maybe 30 people.

Hardly anyone I know listens to Nickelback or 30STM, so I wouldn't consider them mainstream myself.

Guess it's a matter of perspective.

They are in the sense that they're relatively well known now. That song though, with Kid Cudi, has been a radio hit for a while. Kid Cudi is famous in his own right anyways.
