Agreed, a lot of people dislike very mainstream bands for this reason and quite often are blinded when it comes to actually judging the music for what it actually is. I quite like Shindown as well!

I left that out on purpose.
For those on here that don`t know, Jethro Tull`s "Crest of A Knave" actually won a Grammy as the best metal album of 1989
If that`s not shocking enough, they beat both Metallica and Jane`s Addiction in the process.
