ITT: Bands who never sold out

Kinda hard to do when that's how they started.

Ok then how exactly could rem sell out? What would that be like?

actually not sure if this thread is for real

rem was like the original sellout band. they pretty much invented the college rock -> radio fodder career progression that every 'alternative' band for the next 25 years followed

just because they happened to write a couple of good albums after selling out does not make them any less guilty of selling out

R.E.M were sellouts from day 1 but they made good music anyway

every band with some modicum of success is arguably 'selling out' by virtue of making a lot of money. Music is a business too at the end of the day.

Spoony?

Any album that doesn't deliberately try to make the listener turn it off is fucking poseur sellout garbage

the closest they ever came to selling out was document

they kept reinventing themselves with every major label release and kept their artistic integrity through it all
