But I also have The Cranberries, The Verve, James, The Veronicas, Faithless, Deep Forest...those are all really different bands with different genres of music. I love having music to fit any kind of mood I'm in, and just because I like some mainstream music, whether it be from the U.K, Japan, Korea, USA etc - doesn't mean that I can't listen to, per se, "interesting non-mainstream" music.
Also to clarify, I think some mainstream music can be very interesting.  It's just about giving everything a chance despite the reputation that artist or genre of music may have. You never know what you might like. |
I didn't say that their music tastes are bad, I was just surprised that mainstream wins even here.
Though actually I think I just expected more
Of course mainstream will win since all the world know about it. It's easy to discuss and post a lot, so it will be always on top of General Music Chat forum.
And I'm really glad that you listen Lady GaGa, Katy Perry along with The Verve and Faithless
cause I do enjoy some pop-music like Britney or Lady GaGa too, and I can also say that I'm opened for almost every music genre. I believe it's possible to find at least 1 great song of every genre.
I just want to see something new here not always the same mainstream.
