Total rubbish. So if you listen to what Obama or Putin or Cameron are listening to you're gonna become great and famous yourself? Sorry but that's utter tosh.

Good luck becoming prominent with that attitude, Trollheart.

What about artist's from our time? Those that compose on piano, violin... or vocal solist's...
& what is "Mainstream" after all?

I know it goes without saying but any music not in the minor tributaries is main stream.

Look, my point is that the idea you can somehow leech off someone's supposed greatness by listening to the music they listen to is, frankly, just stupid. It's not an attitude, it's an opinion.

And I already am prominent, thank you very much. :)

Well then, definitly not mainstream music...
