any mainstream or semi-mainstream bands you may dig?

Soundgarden (I love Everything except Down on the Upside)
Bjork (Just the Post album)
Primus (Just the Pork Soda album)
KMFDM (Individual songs are cool)
Tool (I've discovered that I like their radio songs better than the others)
Frank Sinatra (Not mainstream amongst youth, though)

Actually, there are a number of cool songs and artists outside the metal scene.
