If we're considering guys like King Crimson, Television, Sufjan Stevens, Yo La Tengo, and Van Morrison mainstream then Mac Demarco is certainly mainstream.
>>63464553

U2 has always been good. Vertigo is a good song

Modest Mouse isn't exactly mainstream anymore though.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
>Bruce Springsteen is the epitome of "epic". After Bob Dylan and before the Ramones, he was one of the few musicians capable of transforming the mood of an entire generation into a "sound". If the rules to judge the significance of an artist are that a) he be indifferent to fads and trends; b) that his lyrics dig deep into his era and resonate with the souls of millions of people; c) that each record be, de facto, a concept album; d) that each song send shivers down the spine even without a catchy melody; then Springsteen is one of the greatest of all times.

Very good example

>>63464590
I guess we need to define what we mean by mainstream, then. I agree with >>63464590. I know he's fairly popular, but I would say that he's popular with people who are at least into music a fair bit. Same with a band like AnCo.
They're well known in "indie" circles, sure. But they're not on the level of recognition from The Beatles, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Metallica, Queen, etc. That's just the kind of thing that pops into my mind when I think of "mainstream" artists.
Depeche mode
I'm surprised Kraftwerk hasn't been mentioned yet.
good dad-rock, Björk, Bowie, Kendrick

If you find someone who can name a song by them that's not a single that person is pretty much a guaranteed patrish.
>>63465160

>>63464487
Is Mac demarco actually good I've been put off him by the girls that like him
>>63467467
his first two records are legit good if you're into the cheesy lo-fi garage rock kinda shit salad days is boring and his new EP is terrible.
ABBA
Radiohead
That's all I got.
miles davis
>>63467467
Its perfect for a summer mood
pre-feels animal collective, although it's retroactivly mainstream so I don't know if that counts
According to most people here, Kanye West. The Beatles though, and David Bowie.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Velvet Underground
Bowie
Radiohead
Gorillaz
Daft Punk
Bjork
Nirvana
Aphex Twin
Miles Davis
Dead Kennedys
>>63469484
Velvet Underground is mainstream? I don't think so, they're barely even well-known considering they've been around for nearly 50 years.
ITT: teenagers that thought they were special snowflakes and are having a crisis realizing they listen to mainstream stuff
The Decemberists
Fleet foxes
Velvet underground
Bon Iver
Fleet Foxes

PRINCE
>>63464196
Lorde
>>63464960
Agreed. Greeting from Asbury Park, Nebraska, and The River are patrician as fuck records. Nobody tells stories about the trials and tribulations of young manhood like Bruce, while at the same time, every pleb ever knows Born in the USA and Dancing in the Dark.

>a bit of a stretch to say patrician
His only failure was Morning Phase which was Sea Changes rehashed. Outside of that he's patrician af
