Are there any good mainstream bands, artist, or music worth listening to in your opinion?

Why do so many music enthusiast have a problem with mainstream?

This thread is dedicated to individual opinions concerning their thoughts on the subject.

Thanks for your reply in advance. I've been debating this particular subject with a few of my friends recently, and I was wondering as to what are some of the other individual opinions concerning mainstream music as well.

What are the negative aspects concerning mainstream?

Janelle Monae is pretty solid and most of Kanye's Yeezus was pretty good as well (save for Kanye). And there's also Arctic Monkeys. That's all I can really say.

Because there's too many poorly written love/sex songs and ex girlfriend songs, and that annoys the hell out of me, even with bands that do it too that I like, but it's much more prevalent in mainstream music it seems.
Also I don't tend to like much music that has electronic sounds in it, sadly.

I don't know, it usually just doesn't interest me. But there's plenty of rock artists for example I like that are mainstream, at least I think so, If I look at the youtube views of some of their singles...
