To inherit the Beatles throne.

Yeah i'm so closed minded choosing not to listen to ONE run of the mill stadium rock band.

It doesn't matter than I listen to loads of different genres from the 1940s up to the present day. If I don't want to listen to ONE band i'm automatically close minded.

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.

No I don't listen to them because boring radio friendly stadium rock doesn't interest me.

They could sing about rabid killer toasters for all I care, wouldn't make the music any more interesting.

I know what you mean. That urbs character is so close minded I don't know how he has survived so long in a forum like this with such a bad attitude to music.

Urban you really should try to listen to more music!

I agree. I think that to deny an artist a listen just because of their genre is closed minded. And I don't see how "surviving" on a forum has anything to do with one's musical expertise (or taste, or collection, or whatever).

Seriously though, I would probably say Red Hot Chili Peppers, they've put out consitently good material, and have one of the biggest fanbases in all modern music.
