I know that the answer is because some of the people I like are not mainstream enough. It is annoying though. Especially when you think the people who aren't mainstream should be.
Examples:
The Wallflowers/ Jakob Dylan.
I love Jakob's voice. And I thought that being the son of a legend (Bob Dylan) would make him mainstream. Apparently not. At least Jakob is talented unlike some of the people taking up shelf space.
Tyler Hilton.
Not mainstream at all. I love Tyler's voice too. My argument for Tyler being mainstream is 'One Tree Hill'. He appeared (and sang) on a hit tv show that was popular over here. The dvds are still avaliable so why not an album of a star of the show?
Darren Hayes.
One of the most talented singers out there, and one half of the brilliant 'Savage Garden', it appears that having a beautiful, emotional voice and writing thoughtful, emotional and beautiful songs isnt mainstream. That said, Savage Garden were criminally under rated so I don't know why I am shocked by that.
Thank God for mp3's and you tube, so that I can actually listen to these artists. I just hate how music stores have all but dissapeared off the high streets and the ones that are left are giving you zero choice in what to listen to. If you dont wanna listen to the artists in the top 40 then you dont really have many other choices.
Disclaimer: I listen to some top 40 artists: Maroon 5, Little mix, Charlie Puth, Bruno Mars all favourites of mine. I just like other stuff too.
