While this is true for lots of people, there's also a degree of truth to this, that being; once bands do go mainstream, about half of them start a steady decline of having their music styles change, or even suck. I will never denounce a band simply because they become popular...which is why I still like bands like Coldplay, Muse, Modest Mouse (although modest mouse's music did change quite a bit, I like the change better) etc...these are timeless and I haven't seen much of a decline if any at all in musical quality since becoming mainstream. Then you have bands like The Killers...have you heard their newest single? Fucking horrible.
But I agree, not liking a band simply because they're on the radio is pretty stupid. Everybody needs to make money.
