which bands/artists have become sell outs or so mainstream that it is disgusting?

i can't really think of any at the moment. some say that taking back sunday is a sellout band. well, i used think green day was alright, until they became overplayed and annoying.

this is can also be a sort of "in memorium" for good music...

Update:

i don't mean that green day are sellouts or anything, i just find them annoying and overplayed. if you don't think so, fine, feel free to say whatever you want in their defense if you're really willing to waste your time.

    I suggest to follow a good online course. You can find here the one that I did :

    https://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=541

    I can give you some tips but anyway I suggest to follow that course.

    I believe that singing is an inbuilt part of the human mind and soul. For countless years the act of singing has been at the forefront of art, religion, social changes and of course love. We all have a desire to let flow with a burst of air and noise that lifts the soul and transports an emotive message be it from the screaming energetic rock anthem to the operatic tones of more studied precise singers.

    We are not all born with a natural talent though but with practice anyone can take their instinctual desire to sing and become very good at it. Here are some tips for a better singing voice that can help you professionally, at the karaoke bar or even in the shower for your own enjoyment!

    One mistake many singers make is to hold their breath while singing instead of letting the air flow through them. If you hold your breath tight you can never achieve a natural sound nor will you be able to achieve any great volume and it makes hitting the right tone harder as well. To combat this you must learn diaphragmatic breathing. This means you must breathe in to the lower part of your lungs by breathing deep and not shallow. This is not the same as belly breathing but should press out on your lower ribcage as you breathe in. There are many breathing exercises you can learn to help you achieve this such as lying down and placing a hand on the upper chest and a hand on the lower chest under the ribcage. When you breathe in the hand on the upper chest should not move and the hand on the lower chest should go up and down.

    Mirrors are wonderful devices to help you improve your singing voice. By singing in front of a mirror you can watch your posture, your facial contortions and your breathing and determine what is and is not working. Try changing your posture and the way you use your face and mouth when you sing in front of a mirror and listen to the different sounds you make as you experiment. You will be surprised what straightening your back or opening your mouth wider can do to your voice once you see these things in the mirror.

    I hope that the website I suggested could help you!

    It's very possible to learn to sing well. You just need to know the right methods. Learn here https://tr.im/s902g

    Singing teachers will cost money and can be expensive so they're not for everyone. Singing can be learned so it's not an "either you have it or you don't" kind of thing.

    Whether you sound like crap or you're decent, I recommend this singing course. It's one of the best methods to learn to sing well in a short amount of time. It's all about using efficient techniques that work.

    Sell.....we should celebrate an underground artist who makes it into the mainstream (as long as they keep their integrity in doing so). People want to earn as much money as possible from working and the music business is no different.

    Also-

    The Who (in every tv show and commercial), Elton John, Rod Stewart has become a lounge singer and Ozzy (though that's his wife's fault. He probably doesn't even know where he is)

    Led Zepplin - For them to do Cadillac ads was slap in the face to all their diehard fans. It was a disgusting sellout for money to a car company rockers used to laugh about. I still haven't forgiven them for that.
