Yes it's all in the eye of the beholder.
I would say underground is whats in MRR.And lesser heard bands on MTV2.

OK...undergound is good...but if its good to lots of people (mostly poorly develped music taste)...then it becomes mainstream...but you couldnt hate on like zepplin, or smashing pumpkins, or bach just cuz it was popular!
By the way check out:
MODEST MOUSE
UGLY CASSANOVA
STEVE BURNS
THE SHINS
(all undergoundish stuff...very good)

back on topic.... ummm, well, sometimes quality is affected by whether the music is popular or not, but that depends on the people in the band.

I kinda like the lo-fi sound.When a cd is too polished I don't think it sounds all too good.You need a happy medium.
