Usually, I don't regard any pop band as original or artistic. But, there are some bands that are, and have made it to mainstream radio. For instance, Sixpence None The Richer is IMO a very original band with plenty of artistic talent. But, I get this vibe that people think any band that makes it onto the radio has no talent or has diluted their content for the appeal of the masses (Liz Phair). Is that the case? Does a band necessarily have to be little-heard-of in order to be original and artistic?
