I think people are embarrassed to admit they like mainstream music as well. Like out of all the favorite albums posted here, nobody has the new Pearl Jam, nobody lists anything from Kings of Leon, or U2, or any one of a number of big name bands that released new CD's this year. Heck, Nirvana released a live album this year and it didn't make anybodies top albums of 2009 list?

I'd rather listen to T-Pain if only for the slimmest of possibilities that he is the master of illusion and not taking himself as seriously as those you mentioned. I absolutely cannot get to the mute button fast enough to make Kings of Leon get out of my ears. U2 is like Nyquil for me.
I think people (myself included) hate the retreads like Nirvana live albums and look for the other fresh/new flavors out there. Having said that, if Husker Du ever released some resurrected live album I'd probably be gushing non-stop. I suppose I have learned to 'hate' them because of the amount of overplay. Not their fault, but I can only eat that same bowl of lukewarm porridge so many times.
With that in mind, I have to agree with The Thermals and toss Dinosaur Jr.(Farm) and *ironically* Iron and Wine (Around the Well) into the mix.
