Just because they might sell in the United States doesn't mean they're popular everywhere.
The fact is they don't have a single song that is remembered by your average man in the street anywhere in the world. The fact this forum has been going for over 6 years and you can count the number of people who like this band that have been here in that time wouldn't even amount to double figures suggests to me you're way out.
don't worry man...people in america could care less about them, too.

i could probably name countless other bands that to me are more deserving of said title than switchfoot.

if i had to pick a band based on both originality and pop sensibility i think the band mew deserves to be as popular as the beatles once were.
