And sure, Supergrass and 311 are a bit mainstream. But so what? The whole "Mainstream music automatically sucks" bit seems a bit high horse to me.

Some of Supergrass's stuff, possibly not in the arena of guitar solos or jazz riffs, but they have a lot of genuinely good songs with interesting lyrics.

Respect other people's views, and try not to be so haughty sometime...

EDIT: I have checked out that page. Why did you assume I didn't, and then proceed to be so critical?
because you said there was no blues jazz based riffs with good solos. i didnt say mainstream music automatically sucks, but i thank you for putting words in my mouth. i said saying holdovers from the early nineties were the saving grave of music is ridiculous, i said you were wrong about the psychadelic scene, i said that the mainstream has gotten significantly worse in recent years, i said you were wrong about the blues based rock with good solos, i stick by that. one thing i did was assume that you probably werent looking deeply because you listed only very famous bands as your good bands and the things keeping music good.

i respect other peoples views, but rem blows and michael stipe is an asshole.

and yes christina aguilera has a good voice. you can find about a thousand sex objects that can sing, am i supposed to be impressed, thats all she does. someone throws together a pop beats, hands her a sheet of paper, says look sexy and sing this.

what is with me isd that for some reason i still let ignorance get under my skin. i really wish i didnt, as i am trying to be a better person, but i just cant seem to let some things go. ill let this go, i really dont want to seem like one of those assholes on the high horse but i can see how it could be taken that way.
