I'm getting tired of having people ask what my favorite artist/song is only to stumble over my feet a few seconds afterwards. Like most other FFRers, I'm not really into much mainstream stuff. So naturally, to connect to what others listen to, I need some good mainstream music. Anyone have any suggestions for me and the rest of FFR?

Gym Class Heroes, Dream Theater, The Beatles, The Gorillaz, Franz Ferdinand, Jay-Z (just a couple of songs, never heard much from him), Nas (same for Jay-Z), and HIM (same for Nas) are the closest things to big mainstream artists that I have. Unfortunately, when you compare this to most people, this list isn't a lot to spark discussion, especially considering how this isn't a good reflection of what music I'm really into and it even once gave a false impression of what music I like to some kid a few months ago.
I don't exactly know how mainstream electronic artists like Prefuse 73, Aphex Twin, and Boards of Canada are. I doubt many people listen to Miles Davis or TMBG, either. Last.fm isn't a good representation of how popular music is outside the Internet, hehe. I guess that stuff will suffice, though. If you have a list of a lot of semi-known artists, you're bound to find one somebody knows.
