I like what I like, but it does generally happen that mainstream music gets overplayed - hence making me get sick of it a lot quicker than I would usually. Example I got Muse's new album, really liked it, went out one saturday and they played it in literally every shop I went in (well almost). It was like Muse overload after that...

Plus mainstream stuff is pretty much always or almost always going to be the stuff that appeals to...well the mainstream. You're not gonna get much stuff that strays too far away. Obviously right now it's all the indie/guitar bands that seem to be popular, muse, razorlight, the kooks, blah. And while I like some of it a lot, I like variety too. Stuff like the go! team, architecture in helsinki, of montreal, just doesn't get played on radio or put to the mainstream really.

Of Montreal in particular I think are amazing, but I wouldn't have discoverered them was it not for LastFM and I guess the indie music connections on there...

Plus to me I just don't feel there is as much good pop coming out as there was in the 90s... I know I was younger then and into it more but stuff like Backstreet Boys and All Saints were good pop groups...now we have pussycat dolls and umm.. I don't even know. So maybe love songs etc were considered boring and unoriginal but I prefered them to songs about taking your clothes off....

ANYWAY my point is I love how there is SO much music out there that doesn't get into the mainstream but is really good and also different...but I also like some mainstream but really I think these days it is mostly crap =P

And some people think indie just means the typical guitar bands... there's such a variety of music out there and really I just want the chance to hear more of it ^^
