When did Modest Mouse become a mainstream band?

Well, Float On did top the billboard charts for a while.

See? I didn't bash them this time.

That's odd...I haven't had a chance to listen to the properly, but from what I heard, they don't have a very accessible, mainstream sound. :-/

at work i have the choice of any big indie-pop album released in the past yecr.. if i have the choice i'll choose Kasabian (i like the dirtyness) or The Fratellis (i like the punk influence) as theyre just more interesting than the rest...

There was another one too, Ocean Air Breathes Salty I think. I'm pretty sure Dashboard did well, if not it gets alot of play on the local alternative rock station.

Both of these albums became tiresome very quickly, especially THE FRATELLIS. The KASABIAN album has a couple of good tracks, STUNTMAN is awesome,but it has faded off my radar very quickly.

i agree with fratellis and kasabian. also arctic monkeys,dirty pretty things have become a bit mainstream along with the strokes and the enemy

jackhammer

I will disagree with ARCTIC MONKEYS, they are much more than just music, I think that they have the potential to be one of the greatest British bands ever, on the virtue that they are quintessentially British, use their own accents, and introduce (within their lyrics) that self effacing humour that has been sadly lacking in British music.

edit - jackhammer i agree 100%. i think they are probably the most solid band out of anywhere to come out over the last 10 years
