Thin Lizzy, Asia, Priest, Maiden, Finnish Classics, Sabbath, Beatles, Queen, Blue murder, Kristoffersson, Cash etc. So who knows, maybe after 20 years someone says that "I don't listen to commercial bands at all, just Britney Spears"

I think different marketing mechanisms are being used now as opposed to 10,20, or 30 years ago. Commercial music now is simply manufactured culture instead of communicated culture.
