Terrific question
First band that came to mind was my.favorite group,so I'm not certain if I'm being objective but I suppose Radiohead could be considered mainstreamish and they certainly don’t sell tons of albums... the new muse album was not as widely received as I thought, and inclusion on the twilight soundtrack is sickingly mainstream I suppose

Radiohead, Massive Attack, Air, Phoenix

BQ: Daft Punk - Alive 2007

BQ2: The Strokes - Seeing them twice this year, at Hurricane Festival Germany and Melbourne Australia.

BQ3: Great :)
