Maroon 5 (negatively...i think).
Sum 41 (def negatively).

Mental as Anything.

The two 'newest' ones were Kanye and Sum 41 and it didnt sound like you liked either.

You're a Black Sabbath reference away from the 'old man yells at clouds' meme from automatically popping up.

I wish I could name someone mainstream these days that was innovative - but I don't think they even exist - and if they did the Harvard MBAs would soon put them into line.

If music [As an opportunity for new bands / performers] today is so great then how can you explain so many bands from many years past still being commercially relevant ?

The answer is simple - it's very tough to break into this business now days - tougher than it has ever been.

People don't get exposed to anything new so they go with what they already know [which is pathetic]

The people controlling the industry don't take risks - and that's killing innovation.
