Why so defensive?

First you preface your top5 by stating you don't care about marketing or mainstream popularity then list off 5 mainstream, heavily marketed acts. The only controversial element to your tastes is how you chose to present and justify your choices. -You- are the only one to presume this forum was packed with elitist snobs.

Relax.

Regardless of that, what's your main angle into music? Are you looking to become more of a performer or producer? How are you making a living in the industry if as you've said you can't really sing or play an instrument that well? How substantial was the idea of being a musician prior to that near death experience?

^30 Seconds to Mars is Jared Leto's band. Though unlike other movie star fronted rock bands this one hasn't crapped out yet.

Of course, like other movie star fronted rock bands, this one is predictably terrible.

Good advice and fair enough

And thanks! I know what you mean. But some things you gotta see to believe and some things you gotta believe to see. We'll see what happens!
