Voted :)

 

Thanks,i voted for U2.

Radiohead? :confused:

U2!

I think it's U2 based on their longevity (or repetitiveness..) but possibly Coldplay in terms of their sound at times.

yeah,maybe some people think that they are mainstream.

This sums it all.

 

Voted for U2, although I think that my opinion will change once MX is released. Especially considering the Rihanna collaboration.

radiohead and mainstream in the same sentence...hmm,not. :D

 

Yeah i know,but in the Poll i place 4 of (what i think) the best known big bands in the world.

I dont listen to the other three bands, apart from a bit of Muse, so it would be unfair for me to comment!

Where is the opcion 'I don't care'?

 

that's the

 

"Shut the computer down button"

As of right now, I'd say:

 

Coldplay

U2

Muse

Radiohead

I'd say U2, Coldplay and Muse are all pretty mainstream...

where i live in the states, i see MUSE everywhere!

They're all mainstream, but as of now, Coldplay are the most mainstream band on the list, closely followed by Muse. Especially since a couple of Muse songs were on the Twilight soundtrack.

If you're talking about at the current moment, then Coldplay. But overall, who has been the most mainstream at their peak mainstream(ness)? U2 by far.

The poll is intresting .

As of right now, I'd say:

 

Coldplay

U2

Muse

Radiohead

 

Based on the very little i've heard of the other three, i'd agree with this one! ;)

The only real battle here is between Coldplay and U2, and I'm giving the nod to U2 since they've established themselves as a household name for over 30 years. Coldplay is almost a household name now too, but you don't have as many old people at their concerts yet.

 

Muse has had a big struggle trying to break into the mainstream outside Europe, and while they're finally succeeding, you still have to dig for stations that actually play them. Radiohead is out of the question. Many people still haven't heard anything besides Creep.

I don't think that's important but yeah, it's coldplay. Have you seen their marketing decisions?

 

 

@Michael: RH is more mainstream than radiohead I think. At least here.
