Writer's Block: Too mainstream

No, I'm actually delighted when the bands I like get recognition. It's not often that I'm into bands before they're well known, though. I like pretty mainstream stuff. One artist I saw before she made it big was Colbie Caillat. She opened for the Goo Goo Dolls a few summers ago. I was there because my husband won free tickets, but we couldn't find a sitter so he stayed home with our son and I went. I wasn't a huge fan of the GGD but they were okay. Colbie opened and I remember thinking she was nothing special. Not long after that, she made it big and I still wasn't impressed.
An artist I wish had made it was Rachael Yamagata. I loved her first record to death. I heard a couple of her songs on indie radio, commercials, in movie previews...but that was it.
