Not really, if i like a band's music then i listen to them, regardless of how popular they are. I certainly don't listen to underground bands just for the sake of it. If a band changes their sound to gain more commercial interest and if their new sound doesn't appeal to me i would be less inclined to listen to them, not because of their new-found popularity, but because of their new sound.
The overplaying factor does have some effect though. If you're over-exposed to a band or a particular song being played on the radio constantly then you get sick of them after a while. But that doesn't happen to me too often.
