Was Reflektor even that big? I don't remember.
>>62416404
it charted 99th on billboard so not huge but still
LCD Soundsystem.
>>62416330
Elephant, Feels Like, and The Less I Know The Better are pretty popular and have gotten significant airplay on Rock and Alternative radio.
>>62416404
Wasn't huge, but it along with handle of singles off of The Suburbs and Reflektor, got airplay on alternative and rock radio stations.
did Tool ever have a radio hit?
if not - Tool.

>>62418098
This
There are plenty of "nigger" bands without radio hits thanks to white privelege
do people still listen to radios?
What about King Crimson? Quite a few well-known songs but did they ever have a hit?
the Velvet Underground
>>62416303
genuinely surprised they haven't had a radio hit tb h. I've seen Footage was probably the closest they'll ever get (pretty sure they did a thing with MTV for that track)
>>62416325
>my girls
>summertime clothes
>>62419237
Were those ever on the radio? I don't listen to it.
>>62416404
the time it came out the radios played it constantly. I dont listen to the radio much but I heard it this summer on the radio
>>62416378
>>62419824
my girls was not a radio hit. you may have heard it once or twice but def not a hit
>>62419824
Since when was "My Girls" a radio hit you fuck?
>>62419876
streaming etc. if it charted on billboard is probably the standard in this thread.
>>62420089
kek Lean really isn't that popular
>>62419930
Nah. I've seen footage is what will inspire the radio hit bands 10 years from now

>>62416378
my girls was never on the radio. It was just a hit but it didn't even break through the mainstream. There is no other anco song that is over 4 million hits.
>>62420384
keep calm and ben carson on
>>62420142
>millions of listens on multiple songs
the phish from vermont
I wouldn't really call death grips a band, more an expressive breathing art piece.
the singles are irrelevant and until you can see this you'll never be experiencing it for what it is.

A rock radio station here does a top 1000 list of the best rock songs as voted for by listeners; Stinkfist was number one in 2014. Lots of tool fans here
>>62420622
Hey Lauren have you ever played hockey?

You act like "big without a hit" is a unique position to be in
>>62416482
Yes dude tool plays on almost every classic rock and hard rock radio station ever. I'm being serious.
Beefheart
>>62421230
It's fine if you hate AnCo but none of those things describe them, are you sure you're not thinking of another band?
Animals as Leaders or someshit?
>>62420657
>>62420657
This is the correct answer. Phish sells out 4 nights at Madison Square Garden every year, and had 40,000+ at their 3 day festival this summer. Most top40 acts don't get crowds that size at their shows, and Phish has never had anything more than some local and college radio play. AnCo, Arcade Fire and Tame Impala all struggle to sell half the seats in venues Phish sells out multiple nights easily. They do have a bit more following overseas but even so overall its not even close
>>62421594
No it's animal collective. I didn't like it after listening to one song
>>62421230
Did we even listen to the same band
Christ, what song did you listen to?
>>62418098
in all honesty this, everybody knows who these guys are but the fucktards never actually had a hit.
>>62418370
I don't know if you'd consider it solo work or not, but I'm pretty sure that bun dem song got on the radio
Were the Sex Pistols played on the radio?
>>62416303
They aren't really a band si much as they are a conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision
>>62421666
You're pretty retarded if you think those words describe them, care to tell me what song you listened to?
Xiu Xiu
These guys.
Odd Future/Tyler/Earl
>>62422209
I remember Yonkers being on the radio nonstop.
The Amorphous Androgynous
A Silver Mt Zion
Coil
>>62417635
UNDERRATED POST, THIS IS THE TRUE ANSWER FULL STOP
>>62420657
This. Phish has never had a top 10 single and sells out stadiums every year. All these indie bands playing small venues in front of a 100 people don't compare. Albums barely even sell anymore, radio isn't as popular, concert tickets are the true factor of how big a band is.
>>62419894
ITCOTCK reached the top 5 in the UK
>>62416334
Rebellion had a ton of airplay in Canada.
I hear Ready to Start on my work radio every day
The Suburbs was also pretty big.
>>62416482
Sober, Schism, Stinkfist to some extent and The Pot were all radio hits. Which is quite remarkable that a band like Tool can manage to get radio play with every release of theirs.
>>62420508
Really? I never hear Iron Maiden on the radio.
I'd say post-bends Radiohead
Though they're still popular they don't play them
My local rock radio station plays two songs of them,pretty often, but just those two(I've heard the one today)
Guess them?
american football
>>62421850
In their day?
I don't know
Now they are though
