Knights of Cydonia and Supermassive Black Holes got regular playtime on my local alternative radio station. If you were referring to just their first 2 CDs then you might get away with being quasi correct however.

Well, clearly the first 2. But even in the case of Black Holes And Revelations - what I'm questioning here, is just how MUCH of it could hold any mainstream appeal. Supermassive Black Holes, Starlight, unquestionably; Knights got airplay only on the more indie oriented stations where I am. As for the rest of the album, it's really anyone's guess whether your average Joe could stomach it. My guess is no.
