Mainstream sincekiller queen I'd say. On all radio playlists, the annual cycle of single(s), album, sell out tour,annually topping or near the top of music press polls, everybody knew who they were, live on the telly on Xmas eve, massive free con cert at Hyde park, they couldn't have achieved more, I was there savouring every bit of it. Believe me, they were completely mainstream.

Bo Rap subverted the mainstream [/QUOTE]
no it didn't.
Bo Rhap was mainstream....the second it entered the charts.
it may have been different... ...just because a song is different doesn;t make it subversive. in fact the late 60s/early 70s was FULL of songs that were not typical chart pop hits....but they ALL were part of the mainstream by virtue of being such huge hits even going so far as underlining the fact that ANYTHING was now acceptable as part of that mainstream[/QUOTE]
